Listen "Why Am I Gaining Weight When Trying to Lose Weight? | Ep 385"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Elevate Series, Steven Eskaf tackles one of the most common frustrations in any weight loss journey – seeing the scale go up despite working hard to lose weight. Steven explains how various factors, including increased water intake, inflammation from new exercise routines, glycogen storage, and dietary changes, can lead to short-term weight gain without it being an actual increase in body fat. He highlights the importance of taking emotion out of the equation and applying logic to what’s happening inside the body.
Using the analogy of learning two languages, Steven emphasizes the need to focus on one goal at a time – either fat loss or muscle building – for optimal results over time. He dives into how long-term body composition changes take time, and the scales may not always be a perfect reflection of progress, especially in the early stages of a fitness journey.
This episode provides valuable advice for anyone feeling discouraged by short-term weight fluctuations and encourages you to trust the process. Steven breaks down practical steps to ensure you stay on track and keep rising, even when the numbers don’t seem to add up.
Key Takeaways:
Short-term weight gain doesn’t always mean fat gain.
Factors like water retention, muscle glycogen storage, and increased fiber can affect scale weight.
Focus on the bigger picture and don’t panic over day-to-day weight fluctuations.
The importance of focusing on one goal at a time for long-term success.
Tune in for actionable advice to help you stay the course in your weight loss journey!
