Body Composition Scale with the best balance of accuracy and price I’ve found on Amazon:
You could be losing dangerous visceral fat around your organs even when the number on your scale isn’t moving. In fact, the scale is a pretty bad metric for tracking visceral fat loss. So if you’ve been working hard, fixing your nutrition, and getting your workouts in, don’t let the scale decide whether you keep going. Instead, I want you to watch for these eight early signs to let you know you’re moving in the right direction

I barely lost 8 pounds in about 5 months but improved my fasting insulin and noticed my stomach was flatter and had a lot of room in the back part of my pants. I kept with my healthy habits and lost 8 pounds in 1 month and went from a size 6 to 0/2. The crazy thing is my A1C has not budged in a whole year. Oh and my waist went from 32 inches to 27
When you said visceral fat and sympathetic nervous system activation are linked I was like 0_o No wonder I've been struggling to lose weight while in treatment for OCD and anxiety. Can you do a vid on that stuff soon, or at least in a broader video of the effects of stress on weight?
One of the first things I noticed when I was in the initial drop of weight was that I was sleeping so much better! I have noticed a few more signs so i must be doing well 🤭
Ready for a mini apple pie, drizzled with honey!
"Talk to your doctor." Good luck finding a doctor both knowledgable and willing to discuss this type of thing. Dare to dream.
Just a few questions I hope someone could answer. If I've been on a combo diet, keto/carnivore, for 7 weeks what signs of weight loss besides a scale should I notice?
After the 8th week I'll be slowly adding in starches and sugar very little and in monitored portions, is that the best move?
Is constipation part of having visceral fat more? 😅 I noticed my belly still bloat despite trying to diet. And everyday I'm walking to the train station,climb stairs but no significant changes 😅
Very helpful video, thanks
I've been dealing with edema maybe related to mcas, but yesterday despite the scale going up a bit I looked in the mirror & my body had a shape not.a blob
i used to have heartburn all the time, i’d take antacids multiple times a day. after losing 100 lbs, i can’t remember the last time i had heartburn
It’s important to not get hung up on the number on the scale. Good to know about each sign. Thank you.
Nice Erne!
Only if we can clone people (for positive purposes only), this doctor can be your doctor too.
Fantastic info. This is a great way to track progress.
One important thing about the sleep and urination: You should certainly make sure you get enough sleep and water when you try to lose weight. So "sleeping well and peeing often" should be a given!
I have lost 25 pounds but my blood pressure hasnt changed 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Could you please give us a lesson as to how to best use a BP monitor at home.
Thank you so much for so simply clarifying this. Really practical and helpful🙏🏽
He suggested Renpho, cool. I bought one about 3 yrs ago.
So I'm hearing my RHR dropping 10 BPM is a pretty good sign.
I'm going through this now ……I didn't give up though because my clothes are fitting loser (and that gives me hope) lol.
