How Often Should You Check Your Weight?

It is recommended to weigh yourself once a week, preferably on the same day and at the same time. This way, you can avoid daily fluctuations in body weight that can be misleading and stressful.

The Best Time of Day to Weigh Yourself

Weighing yourself in the morning, after waking up and using the bathroom, but before eating breakfast, provides the most reliable results. At that time, your body is the lightest, and the result is not distorted by the food or fluids you have consumed.

Taking Menstrual Cycle into Account for Women when Weighing

Women should remember that weight can fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. To obtain reliable results, it is advisable to weigh yourself after the end of menstruation.

Choosing the Right Surface for Weighing

Stand on a firm, flat surface when weighing yourself. Avoid soft carpets or mats that may distort the results.

Weighing Yourself with or without Clothes? Tips for Accurate Measurement of Body Weight

It is best to weigh yourself without clothes or in lightweight clothing. Clothes can add extra weight, introducing errors in measurements.

Choosing the Right Equipment for Weighing

Invest in a high-quality scale, preferably electronic, which provides precise and repeatable measurements. Avoid cheap mechanical scales, which may be less accurate.

Healthy Pace of Weight Loss - How Not to Overdo It?

A healthy rate of weight loss is about 0.5-1 kg per week. Faster weight loss can lead to weakened immunity and the yo-yo effect.

Weight Does Not Always Reflect Health - Other Valuable Indicators

Although weight is an important indicator, remember to consider other aspects of health, such as body fat and muscle mass, and physical fitness level. Measurements of body circumference, such as waist, hip or thigh, and endurance tests can be helpful.

    About me
    And short story about LEET DIET

    As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
