Here’s Proof that Pounds Are Only a Number"},"content":{"rendered":"Scales, be damned.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt’s a familiar scenario: You’ve been eating clean, killing it at the gym, and getting plenty of sleep<\/a>. In other words, you’ve got your health routine on lock. Then you step on the scale to track your progress… and you’re not losing weight. *Cue the emotional equivalent of having a bucket of cold water dumped on you.* It’s incredibly discouraging, and can be enough to send you seeking solace in your hidden Oreo stash. (Guilty!)\r\n\r\nMany things can contribute to the number on the scale: the time of day, the amount of carbs you’ve consumed recently, where you are in your cycle, and more. Plus, a pound of muscle is much more dense than a pound of fat. So if you’re losing fat and gaining muscle, the scale may not reflect that you’re getting slimmer. Oftentimes your weight isn’t even an accurate way to track your progress. After all, there’s so much more to health than how much you weigh. Case in point: the below photo.\r\n
