Weight Fluctuations On The Scale
Video taken from the channel: Paul Revelia
Daily weight fluctuation is normal. The average adult’s weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 pounds per day. It all comes down to what and when you eat, drink, exercise, and even sleep.
If you’re taking on a new weight loss goal, your instinct might be to hop on the scale twice a day and hope for a consistently lower number each time. Thing is, daily weight fluctuation is normal; Just because you see that number go up or down from one day to the next doesn’t mean you aren’t on track to weight loss or gain over the long term.The average adult’s body weight fluctuates between 1–2 kilograms (kg) or 2.2–4.4 pounds (lb) over a few days.
Numerous factors influence a.What Factors Cause Weight Fluctuation and Is it Normal? > Weight fluctuation can cause panic attacks, especially when you have been sincerely doing everything in your might to lose weight – from controlling your eating habits to exercising regularly.When it comes down to it, water is a main culprit in weight fluctuation.
Daily or hourly changes in weight are often due to how much H20 you’ve got inside. “Throughout the day, our body will hold onto fluids as we eat and drink,” says Kelly Hogan, MS, RD, CDN, clinical nutrition coordinator at the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital.Normal, Daily Weight Fluctuation. People normally experience weight fluctuation throughout the course of a day. That change can be as large as four or five pounds, mainly due to fluids and salts. (Read some weight-loss forums, however, says Livestrong.com, and you may hear about weight fluctuation up to 10 pounds; if you’re experiencing that you should seek help from a doctor.).Everyday Weight Fluctuation: What’s Normal?
In an ongoing meeting about how to lose water weight, Dr. Kathleen Wyne, a board-ensured endocrinologist, said that a five-pound weight move is normal for a great many people every day, except that the number on the scale can change by as much as 20 pounds relying upon your body measurements.That’s definitely normal.
It’s best to have a maintenance range as your weight will always fluctuate. A five pound range seems to be good for most people, but some have larger fluctuations and some not as large.

It’s all about water weight, says dietician.You did not gain three pounds of fat overnight – it is impossible, and you did not lose three pounds of fat overnight either. Let us first take a step back and always remember this when weighing ourselves: Body Weight Fluctuations of 1-5 Pounds a Day are Perfectly Normal. 6 Reasons Why Body Weight Measurements Fluctuate Daily 1.I know that some amount of variation is normal but how do I know what my “real” weight is?”> You’re absolutely right, Jo.
Weight can fluctuate by several pounds from day to day (or over the course of a single day) without reflecting any actual loss or gain of fat or muscle tissue.Weight fluctuation in a day is very normal and not something you need to be concerned about. Of course, if you notice a shift in weight that is significant, there could be a more serious reason, but generally, weight loss as a result of a health concern is gradual and will take several weeks.

First video I’ve watched where Greg doesn’t scream at his audience ��
I bought a scale. The first try the weight is 72. And when i move the scale to another place. The weight becomes 74. Idk whats the problem
I have a question. Could eating a lot of salt make the metabolism of fat go down or does it just store more water?
I love your Intros Paul they are hilarious! So serious then that award winning smile.
Thank you for all the great videos. Going through this now and it really helps to hear your insight on what’s really happening! ��
Oh my, just two yrs ago he was nice and polite:) Very illuminating btw, thanks.
Hei Greg, saw you on “The 40-Year-Old Bodybuilder: SWOLE Ep.1” and wanted to say some words you are impressive. The dedication, the attitude and the results good job man.
Wish you all the best and future success as well, that is all.
I need accurate scale readings so that i know that i am not losing too much or too little weight every week but my brand new digital scale fluctuates so much depending on which hard surface i put it on.
In one room i am 3lbs heavier, in another room i am 2 lbs under!? WTF!? I just need the scale to be correct. I dont care if i gained weight. How do i get my scale to give me accurate readings? Should i get one of those big gym scales?
I was expecting ‘Stop being a moron’ ‘try harder’:) but his past videos were way clammer:)
Great video. I have lost 49 pounds so far with just 22 more to my goal weight. It was pretty much a straight shot till about 40 pounds. This last nine has taken longer and is all over the place. Could be down 3 on Friday which is my weigh in day and the next doing the same thing, eating basically the same I will be up 2. Then up 1 till the next Friday but then all of a sudden drop 4 pounds. Like I don’t know what to feel about that. It freaks me out a bit but I know I’m doing anything wrong do what can I do but just keep going. What do you think?
My weight fluctuates when I run or when I implement a new exercise routine. It also happens when I have my period, but it’s not so much (1 kg or 2) and I notice that because of the way my breast feels (“heavy” and sensitive). I don’t pay so much attention to that. But I have to say that I don’t retain so much water as a couple years ago when I used to eat processed carbs and fast food. What I also notice is that my body retains water when I eat food seasoned with artificial flavors or condiments with “weird” ingredients I can’t pronounce; maybe it happens because I prepare my food with “raw material” and I stopped using those artificial condiments ca. two years ago. Of course, I need more time to prepare my food because I have to be creative to season my food with aromatic herbs, but it is worthy.
Thanks for this. I was wondering about these weight fluctuations. I’ve been tracking my food, coffee, calories, macros, sleep and weight. For 4 days I was holding 170 lbs dropping once to 169 lbs but this morning woke up at 171.6 lbs, with a slight headache and didnt sleep well last night but the previous nights slept really well. So trying to figure out whats going on. So far this week did 3 hrs of weights and 100 mins of brisk walking. So I am monitoring a lot. Probably will need to do all this for 2 weeks to see whats going on. The trend like you say is more important.
Thanks for the video. As a competitive ultramarathoner, weight is always an issue. I did a 53 mile long run (-4500 kcal) on Tuesday and weighed 152 lbs on Wednesday. I took two days off to recover and ate around 4000 kcal both days and weighed 159.5 on Friday. I’ll go for a long run and will use all that stored glycogen and be back to my normal 155 within a day.
I love to push myself with cardio and weights at the gym. I bloat very easily. Since water helps with muscles, would taking water pills be a bad idea? I plan on taking them consistently for a month and a half.
You are AWESOME, really grateful for this video Greg!I was literally so upset today,with those scale fluctuations!now I will weigh myself daily and take the average��
The timing of this video is perfect for explaining why I’m having scale fluctuations this week! For me, excess salt always seems to
Get me. I agree and think finding what works and doesn’t for your body is key in understanding hydration effects on your body. Thank you Paul!
Did you hear about NextLevelDiet? These guys deserve a medal. Their customized training and diet plan helped me change my life. I can’t thank them enough
Once again, great video with invaluable information. Thanks for shining some light on a subject that tends to drive us nuts! Also, love the cameo appearance from the Madeline:-)
My mantra has always been, “never weigh yourself after leg day.” I learned it very early on.
Great breakdown here, Cory. Definitely something I can relate to. I really like how, at the end of the video, you mention when you SHOULD be concerned. That’s very important too and helps give the full perspective. Well done, informative video! Keep it up!!
Im glad that i found your video!! I just started to freak out seeing weight going up and down and up again�� but now im cool. Just need to keep going on what ive been doing. So informative. Love it ��
My opinion, which granted isnt worth much is to do a bi-weekly weigh and a monthly measure. Also DO NOT pay attention to lbs it’s like trying to hit a constantly moving target. Instead invest in a scale which shows BMI body fat water and muscle percentage and focuses on those numbers instead as they are more stable
I just ordered the 6 week shred and I saw that we can’t have a cheat meal. Realistically for me I just don’t see myself going 6 weeks without a cheat lol if I have maybe 1 a week will that be detrimental to the program? Honestly I’m more doing the shred to learn to eat better and Lose maybe 10 pounds or so.
+ 40 outside? Greg, you never seem to realize most of your viewers are Americans and Americans use farenheit. And Americans call soda, soda. Not ” pop “.
Especially the diet bit about changing foods. Thank you Paul ����
Love it. I’m stuck on Dumbledore’s ladder. Now you’ve explained it. I’ll hold on. X
this video is so helpful thank you so much this puts my mind at rest a lot. a wake up in the morning and weigh myself and it makes me really depressed or happy.
I wish when you googled why am I in a plateau this video popped up for ppl
Then why on high carb low calorie diets can we not lose weight but on Ketogenic higher calorie diets we lose fat? Insulin puts on fat. That’s it’s job.
Greg doucette I’m taking testosterone propionate, winstrol 50 mg orals, maxterone 400 mg a week, halotestin 40 mg a day,can I take sarm S3
Great Video have had many recent clients asking my about this definitely going to send them to this video!
Amen screw that bloody scale invest in a measuring tape ��
I’ve been eating right and training and the scale is not responding, I guess the changes happening in my body can’t be explained by the scale!
Yes please do a video on hormones for some reason I can’t stick to my diet before my. I get very bad PMS and a lot of cravings??☹️
Solid video! This is a common question that I get with a lot of my clients and have to help them understand the reasons why they fluctuate.
This is probably why I haven’t been seeing my weight go down after my reverse diet.. I’ve been in a 500 cal deficit for the last 3 weeks and one day I lose 3.5 lbs. The next i gain 4. The next I lose 3, etc. It’s making me a bit scared. Lol. I’m gonna try eating the same things every day, and will not weigh myself when I’m sore. We’ll see what happens. ��
You have the best videos on YouTube! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Dr. Doucette is the Aaron Rodgers of bodybuilding. R-E-L-A-X, relax������
The number on the scale is a hard one to overcome. As a society, we tend to think that “weight loss” can only be measured by getting on the scale. I know that I have a bad time looking at that number go up and down and thinking that I have not made any progress. Thank you for this video. Ill be sure to save it so I can come back and watch it on my self pity days!
The way you put it into words is beautiful. Couldn’t have found a better way to explain it. I recent just hit a dull moment in my fat loss journey and watching this video really helped understand why it changes so much so often. Thank you for your videos! It reminds me of high school with the expo marker and the white board! And I’m on the other end taking notes ��
I’m going to invest in a measuring tape and throw away the scale ��
I needed to hear this!! I think I’m suffering from the extreme exercise, carbs, and maybe water weight…I will keep on pushing! I can tell I’m leaning out, I just wish the scale would budge a little.
I always try and poop in the morning to try and shave off an extra 1.5 lbs lol
Thank you. That explain so muchhhh on why my weight doesn’t seem to move at one point & suddenly gaining sooo much! (which eventually freaks me out)
I’ll stop weighing daily from now on. Note to myself: ONCE A WEEK! ��
Thank you so much! This video was so informative! Much needed
Hi Paul,
Recently found your channel and I really love your approach. No broscience just the facts! My question is Paul im currently trying to change my body composition and I’ve set my macros and Im tracking with myfitness pal. Previously my training consisted of a body building approach “Chest/Tri’s” “Back/Bi’s” “Legs/Abs”. Ive recently changed this approach and I now train 4 times a week and just do my heavy lifts, Squat/Deadlift/Military Press/Bench Press. What do you think of this training method compared to the traditional bro split. I would really appreciate your input. Thanks!
Not specific to this video, but what age did you start lifting?
I went from 129 back to 134/135 in 24 hours… I was so confused. I eat a well balanced diet, I had also just donated blood and been hydrating more
and depending on how often you weigh yourself, if you’re doing weight exercises you might’ve gained muscle rather than fat. totally agree with weighing yourself less than once a week, 1-2 times a month is enough. if you’re going to weigh yourself multiple times a week average the numbers to compensate for fluctuations. but really, like she said, you should be focusing more on measurements and beyond that. if you’re losing weight for your health focus on how you *feel*, your vitals and what your doctor says.
I knew I saw this video before. I have seemed to stall this past 2 weeks, will ramp up my activity. My median is down by 0.8kg and I’m aiming at 1-1.5kg per week (1-1.5%BW).
I think ur an awsome guy Gregg u know ur stuff bro some times I even let ur videos play all day bro while I clean do my errands people don’t realize guys if u look up to the man atleast watch the adds for the guy I appreciate the time u put in so I watch the adds a Gregg and everyone else should to
Thanks for the great video Christine! I also enjoyed your other video about the causes of weight loss struggles. I’m definitely a “type A” that falls off the wagon over a small mistake! So I will work on overcoming that. I think I am also dealing with the “delayed onset muscle soreness” you spoke about in this video. I started a new workout 3 weeks ago and my weight went UP right away! How long does this muscle soreness situation last? Thanks!
Coach Greg, do a video of best and worst back exercises. Thanks
I have watched so many videos on this topic, and honestly this was the best one! Now I understand the fluctuations so much better. Thank you!
I drink over a gallon of water, I sometimes skip a snack late in the day and end up eating a big dinner, and I still get Doms sometimes.
I have gained about 8 pounds in 2 months but I also lost 3 inches off my waist and about 1/2 inch my thighs in that time. It’s hard not to look at that number and be like omg a lady shouldn’t weigh that much! But I’ve learned to scrap preconceived notions of how much I should weigh and just put in the work and look in the mirror.
Thank you for posting this! I think the water/lack of water and high carb is/was my issue.
I just love you❤ I thank to God I found you on tiktok.. #beforetiktokban #indian
I wish I had seen this video five months ago when I started my weight loss journey. I’ve always been obese and on this particular day I woke up and decided I’m going to start going to the gym at 5 AM every morning and count calories and I’m gonna lose weight and be skinny and my life will be perfect. I cannot tell you how depressed and frustrated I was those first few months where the scale is barely moving. I had no understanding of how all these things affect weight. I just thought it was as simple as eat less and you’ll lose weight every day. I had to throw my scale in the trunk of my car to stop myself from obsessively weighing in every morning. I was driving myself crazy. But somehow through the disappointment and feelings of failure I’ve stuck to it and have lost 30 pounds in five months. It’s been slow but steady and I’m now realizing that’s what matters
If I’m doing cardio 6-7 days a week for weight loss and I’m fluctuating should I reduce the cardio? I’ve noticed a little bit of Inflammation
sharing asap! This helped a lot. since I’m 12 weeks out and I was up this morning. great video!
Right on time! I just lost 15lbs in 1 week… and I’m trying to gain.
Edit: okay so I watched the video and it was very insightful but spoke more about weight gain but any of the 7 cases could just be it but in reversed. Going to check my thyroid checked though just as precaution.
Thanks for the video ��
I have been having serious meltdowns. I started weightlifting about 2 weeks ago. I track my meals and eat within my point limits but my weight is severely fluctuating. I also am eating healthier but I always feel hungry. I wanted to just quit but you saved that. 4 weeks in and I loss 7 but every other day, I feel like I’m back up and it’s not a true loss. Thanks��
I love the stress explanation. You’re really hitting home for those with ED’s, and BDysmoprhia.

Hello! Is the process the same for weight gain? Why eating the same calories there are weeks that I gain weight about 600 grams and then the next nothing? What should I do? Increase calories? At what time? And the weight gain also stops even if you keep eating a lot? Thank you!
I always look forward to your videos! Keep up the good work!
I was going to say some thing about your dog in the last vid too lol…she’s adorable!
I think my problem was not enough water and secondly regular bowel movement. When I was on my 20s and 30s I could eat whatever I went in the gym sometimes twice a day or even everyday. When work hours took over my time at the gym to make more money, I went to the gym less and gained weight over the years. My problem too much carbs, rice, cereal, potato’s, sandwich and not enough fruits and vegetables. Im not much for too much junk food or cakes or sweets.
I had to go back and get to the gym and lost 40 pounds and want to lose 20 more pounds and tighten up and slim up a bit. My hormones and metabolism have played a big part. When I was in my late 20s early 30s I was 122 pounds, I was literally in the gym everyday. I’m between 160 and 165 and only 5 ft 5; size 10. I like to be at 135 to 140 again which I think is a good weight for me.
freaking out over daily weight fluctuations is comparable to worrying over daily stock price fluctuations. look at the trend over time. weekly average. monthly average.
I’m watching you on you tube for the last several days and i can say that you’ve become my favorite non doctor i’m not supposed to listen at all:)
ITS LIKE YOU READ MY MIND two days ago i lifted weights again after almost a year of doing nothing and now im experiencing DOMS, I was so scared I didnt know that was why I was retaining water thank you sooo much for this video I needed it so much <3
15:18 fucking killed me! Great video as always mate. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I was losing for three straight weeks then weighed myself this morning after a strict week of hitting all my diet and gym goals and the scale hasn’t budged.. I came here for advice to stay motivated and this video saved me, I’m going to go eat my regularly scheduled breakfast now:) thank you sooooooo much!!
This is literally the best video I’ve ever seen on weight loss. SO HELPFUL!!
Welcome notification squad! Comment below which of these causes of weight gain has applied to you:)
I lost it at the duck sounds�� great video though. Really helpful
I was used to weight myself on a specific day of the week because I was cheating on my diet that night. Then it would take many days, even a full week before all the water goes away. The Friday morning was always the day I was the lighter lol.
Remembers losing water weight.
Does not remember winning.
RELAX! Love your channel!
When my husband and I are planning on taking our dogs on a walk we have taken to actually spelling the word out so all hell doesn’t break loose ����
Maddy is so cute!!!!!!! I have two goldens do i can totally relate to having a dog who acts like a puppy ❤
That’s what I said wtf that’s me.after trying hard omg.i blame my thyroid problem ����
Hey coach Greg have you ever water cut because I have a powerlifting meet and I need to cut at least 8 lbs and thought I would ask the best (aka you) to make a video about water cutting
Dear friend, currently i am on my weight loss program..i already lost 5kg..and yes, it does freak me out when my weight fluctuates a couple of grams especially in the evening. ����
You should talk about the true body building doses for ifbb athletes. Do you really need more to get as big as these guys? Also info on an off season diet would be fantastic!
i have understood that measuring weight several times in a day is useless. But just for Curiosity I want to share something. I normally eat at 10pm and after that eat at 2.pm of next day. When I measure my weight at 6 am I geat one weight, after that whenever I measure weight in empty stomach, it shows decrease of wsight. When I measure weight after eating at 2pm, I find that weight increased. After that whenever I take weight I see increment in weight. But next day at 6 am I find less weight. Can explain this matter.
I am addicted to your videos. Just started watching the other day and have binging (found via the Big Mac video), such amazing information and so helpful, thank you!
Such a great video Paul. The scale can def mess with your head. Your dog is adorable!
Thank you for this, Greg! Saved a lot of paranoia after daily weigh-ins.
I found your video very informative, some of it I have heard before but I did learn multiple new things so thank you:)
The more weight I lose the more water I drink and I noticed my numbers on the scale always stop at 180lbs……it gets frustrating:(.
Who else saw visions of the rock each time he said it doesn’t matter?
Its crazy, literally lost nearly 5 pounds overnight once. I bloat so fucking much throughout the day, its crazy. I never look at my body in the mirror after i eat, only in the morning lol struggles
Thank you!! Best information on the web. I love it. I just wish you didn’t swear so much.
I’ve just started tracking again after maintaining through the winter (successfully ended at the same weight I started, didn’t regain any of last summer’s 40lb loss!) and my first week back at it made a perfect Dumbledore’s Ladder. It almost looks fake, it’s so spot-on!
The quality of this information is just too good…too good for youtube
This was fantastic! Thank you. I needed this. I think I may be in the Horace Slughorn’s Downfall. Not sure yet because I just started. I’ve been lifting 3x per week, counting calories, and doing an hour walking/cardio EVERY DAY! And nothing since I started 3 weeks ago. I’m just going to keep on keeping on because I have definitely been able to up in weights with my lifting etc. And my mood is better. Hope I’ll see a drop soon. This is my first video I’ve ever seen of his and I’m probably typing into space but I’m subscribing just because he made me look at and wiggle my butt at the beginning! Ha.
Thank you for this simple to understand content. All the points provider are great.
Thank you for this. This is what I have been doing for years. I don’t lose and I give up and eat whatever. I felt like my big belly is a result of high cortisol. It is really frustrating. I will add I’m a woman in my 40s and I think it is especially difficult and slow for us. Our hormones don’t want to let go of the fat ��
Who else stopped this video and weighed yourself? Last night before bed I was 248… This morning after peeeeeing and no food was 246.4…..Enjoying your videos Greg thanks for making them.
Bingo……..
My body follows the second one…its like mirror, pictures and my eyes are showing that i am leaner than i was 6 days ago but the weight is exactly the same….
Plus i am among those few lucky ones who lost 120+ pounds in 8 months but haven’t gained it back in over 2 years
I just have a question to ask you jordan.
See according to my height,age,gender that is 6 feet 1 inch,my healthy weight is from 73-80 but then why i feel not truely lean at 68kg?
I am completely lean at 63kg or 61kg weight which is surely way too low below my healthy weight.
Please do answer this
One of the few on YouTube that gives correct information. No fads, straight facts,
You need a tripod for your camera man lol their hand little shakey towards the end:)
Just eat the same foods each day for 1 month, use the scale the morning before breakfast/drinking water then do a average of each week OR put each day in a 30 days graph (my bluetooth scale is doing this in a phone app.
Thanks for this! I drop mean, picture-worthy dookies once a week and I’m on the Muggle’s Beware rollercoaster… I’ll just see the “PHLATHEAUS” as dookie incubation period!
absolutely makes sense. I’m totally gonna RELAX on weight fluctuations now. Thank you!
Guy is a genius, so much sense. I won’t give up and he is the reason. Thanks a ton Jordan
I have commented before but I am part of a IF weight loss group on Facebook and I have linked this video to them SO many times. It has helped so many people including me. Thank you! You are my hero!❤❤
Thank you for posting this! Sometimes it’s too easy to get frustrated; this was exactly the reminder I needed.
Alsoovertraining can tip the scale in the wrong direction as well ☹
I think I’m suffering from all 7. ��. But I will keep pushing on. The endomorph life.
Good video greg,i was wondering what you think of the keto diet as far as getting lean and how long should you go before you have a carb day? I’m 165 Lbs and around 14 percent bf.
Good video! I was eating in a pretty solid defecit for a month, I had a bad day where I ate fast food 3 times, I woke up 12 pounds heavier and was losing my mind. One solid week of dieting I was back down that 10 pounds plus 2 pounds. Water is such a major component of weight gain.
I usually gain weight during ovulation and lose right before my period and the. Gain few days during and after my period. Then I lose it again a week after. It sucks. I’m still trying to lose the three pounds I gained from last period. ��
This video made so much sense! I’m so glad I found your videos!!!
This was such an amazing eye opener!
Jordan when would you say we should do weigh-ins?
This video is a psyche saver. Have been flexible dieting consistently for couple weeks now after years of crash/yo-yo dieting and was confused about my progress. Im not weightlifting at the moment (pandemic) but do train jiu jitsu 2-3 xs a week. One thing that caught me off guard was me gaining weight or it remaining the same after a day of intense training, even after adhering to my diet. The point on inflammation and water retention made a lot of sense and really made me rethink about how patient I need to be going forward. From now on, look at the mirror more often and stop being so creative with my meal choices.Thank you so much!
I can gain 10 kg of weight in 30 days as well as loose 10 kgs in the next month.. I can eat a lot of food in days when I am gaining weight cause of my flactuation in apatite…I can also survive without any problem which just about 100 gms of food when I am loosing weight…and it’s not me that decides my apatite but my body that does it.
Does it have to do with enzymes or harmonies or insulin
so I was feeling all kinds of ways about my weight loss. This video made so much sense I just shared it with everyone I know that is trying to lose fat. Really made me learn something here but more than thatI am feeling better about my own progress. I’m not going to freak out anymore. Thank you!
Wow, the best video I’ve seen on this subject! For me the key to getting through this is to make sure you are getting positive feedback in other ways. Regardless of what the scale might say on a daily basis, eating healthier makes me feel better, walking an hour a day makes me feel better and my waistline is smaller.
Omg I needed this video I spent 3 weeks without losing anything and then 3 pounds down the next week and then with no change again. I was like there is noooo way I’m not in a deficit ��
Dude I love your neat presentation and maybe it’s your voice, but I can listen properly and everything gets in so easily. I was frustrated with my stagnant weight or slow progress and just needed some reaffirmations again so your video helped a lot. (Btw I’m guilty of getting moody about pLatEAus and your voice and face was so annoying HAHA)
The scale is the enemy. It is by far the least accurate and most aggravating measurement tool
I have that pair of non-strech jeans that tells me honestly if I am fat or not. Also Yoga is brutally honest because it “tells me” where the fat is as my poses change.
question, would you suggest that if a person wants to track and yet tracking every single thing can be obsessive, tracking protein, is that just a basic way to track in order to adequately know that one is getting enough protein>? your thoughts please.
Im def the 3rd one. I always track daily but have just started a secondary tracking once a week. Best of both worlds.
Store bought quinoa salad, more macronutrient friendly for me than rice, and makes you feel fuller than the same amount of rice, yet after a week of eating it the scale said i gained 2 pounds, turns out the quinoa salad had quite a bit of sodium in it. I know water weigh is just one factor, and doesn’t mean I gained fat, but GOD I hate it what it does to my mind!
I’ve been stalled for 6 MONTHS!! I can’t even call it a plateau anymore:( I lost 15 lbs over the course of about 4 mths, then August came and it was like I hit a brick wall. Granted, there was a vacation and holidays over those 6 mths, however, I didn’t give up. I’ve tried adjusting calories and workouts, but still the damn scale has not budged. It is beyond discouraging. I keep telling myself to stick with it, the weight will eventually continue to come off, but honestly I don’t believe it. I’ve been overweight most of my life and also have Hashimoto’s disease, it’s like I’m fighting against nature.
This is my favorite video. I’ve given up at most of these various points. Thank you ❤️
You explain weight fluctuations better than anyone I’ve heard to date.
Thanks!! You’re totally on point!
Paul, thank you for this video!! I always wondered why I would gain weight after a hard lifting session!! inflammation and water in the muscles! I really appreciate the explanation.
Please do not get pissed if you’ve already answered this question somewhere….You’ve probably been asked a million times. I have not gotten to all the videos yet. Does it matter if you are eating LESS calories than your allowance according to the weight loss formula. I have a lot of weight to lose. I have been doing weight watchers before now. I have been concentrating on not over eating and listening to my body when it says its hungry and when it is satisfied. I have also been utilizing WW. ( I know what you think about programs but I hadn’t found you yet! ). Now that I have decreased my calories…I am having a really hard time increasing my calories to almost 1000 more than I have been eating. I have been working so hard and do not want to slide backwards. I guess my question is can you be eating too few calories..or should you not worry as long as you are at or below the calories found by using the formula?
Ok I know it doesn’t matter
I agree with everything he is saying and love his videos
But
Please tell me you just highlighted that 20 year old paper. Just please say that’s what you did.
Too long of a sales pitch in the beginning of the video. Need to get a hook in first on the topic you are covering. Establish trust and provide some info before you weave in your product endorsement or you lose the listener.
How do you minimize the fat gain effects of having a special occasion “cheat meal”? (Ie. Valentine’s Day lol) if I missed by protein by a landslide and ate a high percentage of carbs due to this meal, what is the best way to bounce back? Maybe having a low carb day the following day (like carb cycling?)
Thanks so much!! I’m experiencing fluctuations right now and this makes me feel so much better ������
Hi there you doing a great job keep it up. My weight changes throughout the day why is this so like sometimes it’s 161lb in evening is maybe 168lb why does it fluctuate within a quite big range from 160 to 170lb.
I dont know that you will see this comment but this video gave me hope and I must have said like 5 times oh thats me! says “im in a plateau” or im doing everything 100% wtf, why arent i losing fat. Could you give me some insight on my pattern? Im 5´2 and hit my highest weight of 62kilos during quarantine. I got a fitness buddies group together, excel, tracking calories, water, exercise, you name it. in the first 2 weeks i dropped 1 kilo, the week after that from 60.8 to 59.5, next next week 58.9, so half a kilo a week i was so pumped. but then a week later 59.4, i put on half a kilo, ive been at 59.1kg for 3 weeks now, and the weird thing is its 59.1kg even when i eat more or less, or drink wine, if i go to the toilet afternwards it still says 59.1kg. People have said your body just likes to be at 59kg. So ive been pumping up the cardio, the rest, drinking more water and tracking my calories so im eating below maintenance. From watching your video what I got out of it was that I just need to keep on going, keep doing my workouts (i do tae bo, t25, body weight training with resistance bands) and just dont give up cos eventualy my body will get rid of the fat. Is this it?
I feel like this whole video only applies if you’re a psycho that weighs themselves everyday. I weigh myself every Sunday morning, and my trends are just straight down. I don’t see my spikes and whooshes. If the scale says I didn’t lose at least 2lbs that week, I assume it’s one of those factors you talked about, stick to my guns and weigh in again next week.
This is just the video, I need.
Thanks bro for motivation and showing us the reality.
This was so helpful to me. Especially the part about the carbs. Scale was up 2 lbs today after working out hard but looked at my nutrition from yesterday and was more carb heavy than usual. Thank you!
I gotta say it… You really need to do your research. For one thing, keto is NOT 100 grams of carbs per day or less, it’s 20. Also, if you eat too much salt you actually end up peeing it out. If you are going to provide health information for the masses, do your research first.
i have a chocolate Labrador and a yellow Labrador!! great video. as a female the scale can really mess us up! thank you!!
I watched this at the PERFECT time! Thanks Paul, I am two weeks out tomorrow. I had a feeling I needed to chill on the flexibility of my diet and be more consistent for my own piece of mind.
Great video. Very informative. Bulking right now and I gained 5lb in a month, guessing it is mostly water after I increased my calories after a mini cut. Makes me feel better mentally haha.
people doing things to try and trick their coaches really amaze me. their just screwing themselves-not the coaches.
wow! superbly explained! I feel so much better! I’ve been loosing weight very inconsistently but loosing weight regardless; and that is what matters! one day I may work my ass off and no weight loss, and all of the sudden days later I loose 3 lbs out of the blue!? weird!!
Hi I am from Malaysia. Need to ask, I calculated my calorie intake your way in IBS. Its 3300 calorie a day.
However when I count using app its 2300.
However doesnt age matter for calorie intake. I am 54. I don’t think I shd have too much calories. Pls advise.
You can’t know or realise how much this video just helped me. Thank you.
I am fluctuating a lot lately. Yesterday at work I must have walked 5 miles and I was doing physical exertion all day. Now I drank a ton of water because its really hot. Yesterday before work I was 204.6 and today after busting my hump at work doing physical work, this morning I was 205.2. I was huh, WTF? I guess it is what it is. Just keep on trucking.
Hey Paul,
Awsome video as allways! And your dog is really cute, I love labradors:)
I have a question: While reverse dieting, how much weight regain can be expected (if I stay on track)? (Including the restored glycogen, water and ofcourse the fatstores).
Andrew
I know you mentioned intense exercise in one regard, but also just gaining muscle. My scale that measures weight but also body fat percentage. Even though it’s not a perfect measure, it helps because I can see BF% going down, even if weight is same or going up, and then I know it’s muscle gains, which I want!
Now I’m confused. Coach Creg’s advice is to relax. Has he seen any of his new video’s?��
I’ve dealt with ALL these issues. Had pizza a couple nights ago and still paying the price. LOL �� thanks for making this video
Thanks for sharring the info will be waiting for the next video on the female hormones one u mention on this video.Becouse even though i have a marena IUD on and even before having it. I have always had a problem with gaining upto 7 pnds before having my cicle.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The thing with the median is so good.
Im struggling with my weight. Having more carbs (avrg. 100g more) in for 3 weeks now (switched to your diet plan). Really low in calories with 2200 cal. but my weight is just going down 200g a week!! every calculator says iam in a high deficit, but the changes are not high at all.
What do you recommend?
Bro so far your the best on YouTube hands down fuck rich paina and those other dumbass who arent smart enough to not use the word fuck in every sentence finally someone who has a damn brain when he speaks.. Your awesome dude no homo bro love lol
I go by the scale, I weigh once a month mid-week and at the right time in my cycle. I also take measurements once every month or two. It just helps me have the right perspective. If I see the scale doesn’t say what I was hoping for I can see progress with the tape measure. Thank you.
It’s weird how my weight is fluctuating on this 21 day meal plan and it’s completely no salt & I drink a gallon of water! Soo what else could it be? It’s so frustrating!!
I threw my scales away a long time ago as they did my head in and I was so upset. Thank you for this video Paul.
Thank you so much beautiful. I was so frustrated this morning. I weighed myself after weeks & saw that my weight was up. I was so upset. It is the week before my period & just 1 week ago I was feeling very confident & then I weighed myself & got so sad. Thank you for the informational video girl.❤️❤️
I needed this… I’m on a journey to 150lb weight loss, I’m down 80-85lbs and the first 60 was within 4 months but in the last 4 months it’s gone really slow and I keep seeing spike ups and it freaks me out! I’m sticking to my diet and workout either way but it’s frustrating
Wow I needed this. I’m a new subscriber. I’m Not fit, I don’t exercise. I’m just trying to lose weight and be healthy. I’m loving your videos. This one gave me peace of mind. Thank you so much.
OMG IM IN MUGGLES BEWARE thank you so much cause i was getting scared when i dropped 4 pounds then went up again but ive been graphing my weight and its the exact same pattern. Earned a sub ������
Weight is kinda like water going down while plunging a plugged toilet. M
Liked for da pup! haha and of course all that great informative content
These are some of my favorite videos, always great information
Someone told me about site called *Next Level Diet*. Let me tell you something: This sh*t is really next level!!! Fat cells are leaving my body like never before. Goodbye belly fat. Welcome six pack.
Great points Greg. People are so clueless. Hard to take these people serious whe. They worry like that.
Thanks for your video, I am stressed at the moment. Found that on the weeks that people were giving me hassle
(over the fact I was skinnier) I gained 3 pounds overnight. Also have an issue in my home life. I assume if the stress remains the weight does too, maybe I should look into staying away from everyone for a while. I needed to lose weight for health but the crap I got. Subject to discrimination for a small frame which can be a nuisance in and of its self.People often try to measure my arms even when I make it clear not to 2 older ladies scowled at me and made a bee line for them. It upsets me as I am also autistic. Cannot even go into a restaurant without being glared at to pick up a cake. Tried it did not work. I downloaded a bus app to cut out my coffee habit so now instead I can shoot hoops rather than deal with that misery at restaurants. I will probably cut travel for a week or so.
I’ve sent this video to so many of my coachees. Thank you for this.
I agree. The goal is lean muscle mass weight and body fat ratio. Not overall body weight. It’s easy to confuse because when we think weight we generally think the latter and not the former.
this video has motivated me to another level! I was sensing a “plateau” during my current deficit program with good training. Thank you for this!!!!
Well a gallon of water weighs 8 lbs so it really can affect how much you weigh day to day.
Thank you so much for this video!! So helpful. Just what I needed to hear to keep going. Thank you!!
The gallon of water a day might be an issue. I don’t think I’ll ever stop peeing.
I only step on the scale when I go to the doctor.
Otherwise I go by how my clothes fit and how I feel
3:37 Finally I have the answer. I am trying to be consistent with exercise but, due to my work situation, I travel a lot and it can happen that I stop my training completely for a week or two. Well, every single time I start using weights again, I “gain” at least 2kg (4lbs) in the following 4/5 days.
Is a 4 week plateau normal? Going back and forth between 129-131 kgs?
Keeping a check on my food and going to the gym 4 days a week but I’m stuck really bad.
awesome thanks for this, makes so much sense of the inflammation!
I drink around 6 liters of water a day and yet somehow my weight doesn’t fluctuate. If I drink any less or eat a lot of salt or drink alcohol I do feel my fingers swell like crazy.
Ok I’m starting to really believe you have some special power lol! I’ve been wondering about this each time I would try to lose weight. I go from looking bigger as if I’m retaining water to looking leaner the next morning. It’s so weird, has anyone heard of this whoosh effect thing?
Could you make a video with your thoughts on the insulin resistant population dieting to get shredded on a high protein/ moderate fat and low carb diet vs keto which is higher in fats and keeps protein at the minimum. Example be Dave Palumbo’s diet 275P/60F/50C vs something of 175P/110F/50C. Layne Norton mentioned keto can be catabolic if followed too long of a duration and protein is a lot more muscle sparing than fats.
Thank you so much, much needed! 9 weeks out and I’m now on the “cliff-drop” fat loss ��
I really need your help, I’m a 16-year-old girl and I’ve been trying for soooo long to lose weight but I just can’t! I’m really desperate for any help I can get! please give me some advice!:) thank you ♥
So you’re still losing fat even when the scale does that… good to know! Thank you sir!
Defintely experienced the salt intake, eating a big meal, and DOMS. I try to remind myself of these things when I see my number go up. I go get my fat and lean mass done at a body scanner. This helped me so much. At one point I weighed the exact same as I started but had more lean mass than body fat and could tell the difference in my body! Since then it’s been a lot easier to remind myself that
Philly girl represent!!! I’m so glad to have found your channel, soooo much amazing, educational info provided in such a candid, straight forward way! I’m binge watching all your videos and going to tell everyone I know to subscribe!!!!
