Weight is a relative
number which does take into consideration water (over
30%), muscle mass, digested foods and, for women,
their menstrual cycle. Consequently, there will be a
natural fluctuation in weight, up and down, on a daily
basis that is not related to the loss of fat while
dieting. Wearing tight fitting clothing and noticing
their becoming looser is often a far more objective
proof of the effectiveness of a diet.
Other methods of
monitoring a diet have been proposed, such as
cholesterol count, or blood pressure. However, the
data from these and other monitors need to be taken
into consideration with all other aspects of a
person’s lifestyle. Consequently, these figures
never really will give an accurate reflection of the
desired result. In
conclusion, weighing oneself on a daily basis is not
the best way to verify that a diet is having the
desired impact.
