Why do my results come out differently when I weigh myself at different times of the day? How can I get the most accurate weighing result? When should I weigh myself? I have a few suggestions for you to clear up such question marks.
WEIGHT ON AN OPEN AND EMPTY STOMACH
What you eat/drink throughout the day. It may cause you to gain 1-2 kilos more than you are. If possible, I recommend weighing yourself on an empty stomach in the morning, but if you plan to weigh yourself during the day; You should not consume any liquids, including tea (coffee and water), or eat anything at least 2 hours before the measurement.
YOU MUST GO TO THE TOILET BEFORE GETTING ON THE WEIGH /p> Our intestines must be relaxed before getting on the scale. If you have complaints of constipation or diarrhea, your weighing result may mislead you. SPORTS SHOULD NOT BE EXERCISED BEFORE WEIGHING ON THE WEIGHING DAY strong> During sports, we lose a significant amount of water through sweating. This prevents the accuracy of the weighing results. YOUR WEIGHING RESULTS MAY MISLEAD YOU DURING THE PERIOD PERIOD. During the days close to your period and during your menstrual period, the amount of edema in your body usually increases. When you weigh yourself during this period, your weight is likely to be higher than it is. It is recommended that you weigh yourself 2-3 days after the end of your menstrual period. I do. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WEIGHING MEASUREMENT IS CORRECT If you are using a digital scale, its calibration should be done at regular intervals. You can test whether your scale is accurate by placing 5-pound weights on it. At the same time, for accurate weight tracking, when taking measurements; You should place your scale on a flat surface. Measurements should always be taken with the same scale, the location of your scale should not be changed for other measurements, and if possible, measurements should always be taken at the same time. BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR WHEN WEATHERING THE SCALE
When weighing yourself, you should wear light clothing and do not wear any jewelry or belts that may affect the measurement result. i metal or heavy accessories should be removed.
STAY AWAY FROM FOODS WITH LOTS OF CARBOHYDRATES OR SALTY BEFORE THE WEIGHING DAY. AVOID ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
Excess salt and carbohydrate consumption increases water retention in the body, causing edema. A similar situation applies to alcohol consumption.
YOU SHOULD NOT WEIGH THE DAY AFTER LONG TRAVEL
During long trips, the amount of edema in the body increases due to sitting for long periods of time and pressure changes.
YOU SHOULD NOT WEIGH IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SHOWER
The water retained by our skin and hair after a shower will cause you to weigh too much on the scale.
