If the scale’s not moving, is it even working?

In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood—and most emotionally triggering—parts of health and fitness: the scale.

Turns out, what most people are trying to change isn’t really their weight… it’s their shape, their energy, and how they feel in their clothes. But the scale? It often tells the wrong story.

So what should you track instead?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why losing weight and losing fat are not the same thing
  • What TDEE is—and how it really works
  • How your body subconsciously lowers calorie burn when you overtrain or undereat
  • Why muscle gain can cause the scale to rise… and that’s a good thing
  • The case for body composition tracking (and how to do it easily with Prism)
  • Why short-term restriction often leads to long-term binging
  • The smartest way to change your shape (and how long it really takes)

 

“You should never weigh yourself without also knowing your body composition.”
