sorry if you already know all of these lmfao i& #39;ve just seen too much misinformation on here.
1. your clothes make a huge difference, at the minimum they& #39;ll add around 2 pounds, but depending on what you& #39;re wearing the number will fluctuate higher quite a bit.
2. go to the bathroom before weighing yourself. if you can& #39;t shit, you& #39;re going to have an extra 0.5-4 pounds, the latter only happening if you& #39;re extremely constipated. typically it will be around a pound.
3. speaking of constipation, get your god damn fiber in so you don& #39;t have to worry about it. laxatives aren& #39;t a replacement, they& #39;re bad for your liver.
4. the more salt you have, the more water weight you& #39;ll have, and counterintuitively the opposite applies for water. so if you binge drink as much water as possible (any more than 1L an hour cannot be processed by your kidney however).
4 a. additionally as a general rule of thumb you should be drinking half your weight in lbs in ounces. (for me that would be 170 pounds -> 85 oz -> 10.6 cups) but you can drink up to twice that without water loading.
5. speaking of water and hydration, energy drinks don& #39;t count towards your water intake but coffee/tea does.
6. if you normally have periods, you could gain 3-5 pounds at the beginning of your cycle regardless of wether or not you currently have your period. it sucks and it& #39;s dumb but yeah
7. if you& #39;ve plateaued and can& #39;t figure out why, take a day to eat at maintenance. It& #39;s going to work if you haven& #39;t fucked up your metabolism yet.
8. final tip that& #39;s more of a tool: use the app happy scale. it averages out your weight loss which personally helps stop me from panicking whenever it goes up.
