✨️A non-moving scale does not automatically mean your program is failing; you should wait and look at other progress indicators before changing your routine.✨️
Why the Scale Doesn't Move🤔
✳️ Water Retention from Exercise: New resistance training or heavy workouts cause muscles to retain water as they repair and store glycogen, which masks fat loss for 2 to 4 weeks.
❇️Body Recomposition: You can lose fat and build muscle at the same time, keeping your total weight flat while your body shape and measurements change.
❇️Daily Fluctuations: Hormones, sodium intake, carb levels, and stress can cause your scale weight to swing by 2 to 4 pounds overnight.
❇️Tracking Gaps: Sometimes hidden calories (like cooking oils, dressings, or untracked weekend meals)
