Do you overthink your health routine? This one's for you. 

I'm hoping that by the end of this, you feel a little bit better and you also feel like you can weigh yourself and understand it and not just have that panicky feeling. Cause I think that comes from really not knowing what it means and the fear that obviously it can never be undone or I, once I gained weight, it's so hard to lose it. 

There's a million things and they're all valid. So basically your weight is a culmination of everything that's going on, right? It's everything that has entered and inflamed and hydrated or dehydrated or any other process, your body in the past 24 ish hours. Most of the things that affect your weight day to day are not fat or muscle or fat loss or anything like that.  That's really hard to come to terms with when weight is such an accurate predictor over time for fat loss,  we all look at our weight over time. Like, did we lose weight? And that makes sense, because over time it is a decent measure of body fat because you're not going to lose, , 150 pounds of heart mass. 

That's not really how it goes. So. there's a few big things that I think really affect your weight. That maybe if you can pay attention to them, you can kind of understand if the skill spikes one day, why that may be. So first thing, salt, if you have a super salty meal and you're not adequately hydrated, your body's goal is essentially to maintain a balance of salt and water, and that's going to affect how viscous your blood is. 

There's a certain level that your body wants to keep it at, right? So we need a good balance of both. When one of those levels gets too high, AKA. K you have a super salty meal. You don't drink enough water. You're not hydrated going into it, whatever it is. That's when we can see that like puffiness in the morning, we might feel a little bit bloated, whatever it may be. Your body's holding onto a little bit more water in order to make that ratio of salt to water, more efficient for your blood flow. 

Pretty important, right? It doesn't really care that you're on a diet and you're going to be sad about what the scale says.
