Women over 35: you can gain 1 kg on the scale without gaining 1 kg of fat.
Your scale measures body weight, not body fat.
Water has weight.
Glycogen has weight.
Food in your digestive system has weight.
And menstrual-cycle-related fluid changes can significantly influence what you see on the scale.
So if your weight suddenly jumps, don’t immediately cut your calories or add more cardio.
Look at the trend.
Look at your waist measurements.
Look at your cycle.
Look at your nutrition adherence.
Good coaching isn’t about reacting to every number. It’s about knowing what that number actually means.
And this is exactly why so many women over 35 stay stuck in the same cycle:
Eat less.
Lose weight.
Scale goes up.
Panic.
Restrict harder.
Eventually give up.
If you’re training hard and eating less but still can’t understand why your body isn’t responding the way you expect, send me the word “RESULTS” in a DM.
I’ll show you what I would look at before cutting your calories again.
Stop guessing. Start using the data properly.
