Fat loss vs. weight loss: why the scale isn't everything
By Fitholae Coaching Team · Published · Updated · 6 min read
The scale counts everything: bone, muscle, water, and fat. If you lose 2kg of muscle but 0kg of fat, you weigh less, but you're less healthy.
The power of measurements
Track your waist circumference and how your clothes fit. These are often better indicators than the scale.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my weight go up after starting gym?
Increased muscle glycogen and water retention for repair. It's a sign you're doing it right.
How to track effectively?
Use Fitholae's progress tracker to log both weight and measurements.
