So, most of my clients tell me they want to drop SCALE weight. But I usually defer and comment on mirror aesthetics. I believe scales are misused by the majority of everyone, and this is a major factor because of Weight watchers and Biggest loser. These shows and programs are irrelevant to the majority of society. Why?
Because weight isn't the problem, its the amount of fat. Even women should think about adding lean mass... Why? Because fat is less than muscle.. Substantially less. And the visual impact of fat is mass, lean muscle is smaller and defined.
Think about a rock vs a balloon... I want to keep this post simple and sweet so Ill forget adding scientific reasons for why this is and why fat is stored.. blah blah blah. Ill let you see a secret though.
Here is a client (not mine) that shows her body off and her transformation. Notice the end result and her end weight.
SHE WEIGHED MORE?! and looked impressive. I think she looks extremely in shape, but yet her weight is way higher. This is why you shouldn't confuse yourself for being heavy and fat. If your heavy, it doesn't mean your fat.. it just means you have dense muscle. Society has shown us all that big numbers on the scale = bad. So, next time your bestie asks you about your scale weight, lift your shirt up and show off your six pack and tell her to not worry about it ;)
