Losing weight is not easy. If you've committed to losing extra pounds in a healthy way, you've likely had to change the way you eat and drink, and you're probably devoting more time to exercise than before. When you put in the effort, it's natural to expect results.
If you weigh yourself regularly, you may have noticed that the numbers fluctuate and are not always fixed. According to doctors who specialize in weight loss, there are reasons why this happens, so they have motives to show when is the best time of the day to weigh yourself: At the same time of the day, say doctors Mert Erogul and Neil Floch.
Experts agree that you should weigh yourself in the morning because this is actually the period when people are least likely to weigh themselves. Weight fluctuates throughout the day for several reasons. One, because of the things we consume throughout the day, which can lead to more extra pounds compared to the morning when we are on an empty stomach.
When you wake up in the morning, you are dehydrated because you did not drink during the night. Then, go to the bathroom. This is the moment when you should weigh yourself, before you get dressed, eat breakfast, drink coffee and follow the whole routine of the day.
Remember, the scale is just a tool to use when you want to see your weight loss progress. What is even more important is how you feel mentally and physically. In short, if you're going to use a scale to track your weight loss journey, be consistent and weigh yourself at the same time of day every morning.
