    Taming the scale: What the numbers actually mean

    Taming the scale: What the numbers actually mean

    In my recent solo podcast, I've delved into the complexities of maintenance and the persistent fear of weight gain reflected on the scale. My aim in today's episode is to provide insight into the multifaceted nature of scale readings. It's essential to recognize that the scale measures more than just body weight; it reflects various elements such as water retention, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and bone density. By dissecting these intricacies, you can develop a deeper understanding of the fluctuations observed on the scale and adopt a more informed approach to managing our weight journey. The scale serves as a tool rather than a judge, influenced by factors like late-night eating habits, protein intake, dietary composition, and other variables discussed in this episode. It's imperative not to allow ourselves to be overly swayed by numerical fluctuations alone. Have a listen and please reach out and share your key takeaways from today's discussion.

Magic Maker ✨

Kim is the queen! She is fierce, funny and smart as a whip. Kim embodies what it means to be a life coach, by offering so much more than diet & workout tips. Whether you’re a gym junkie or just beginning a health journey. She helps you see that living an all around better lifestyle is not only attainable but something to strive for.

Regardless if your age, Kim is the tough love friend you need to kick your butt into gear. She said something recently that resonated with me “No is a complete sentence!” You don’t have to explain your boundaries or justify them to others. Let that sink in! 5 stars always ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Moji on the island ,

Bright and funny

I'm almost 60 and have spent probably 50 years worrying about my weight. I just listened to one of Kim's podcasts and loved her advice and outlook! I wish I could've heard this years ago, but looking forward to listening to more and changing my own attitude 💕
