Using the scale as your measurement device to help you determine where you want to be in your weight loss and fat loss goals is somewhat counter-intuitive, and worse, can have a negative effect on what you’re trying to accomplish.
Muscle weighs more than fat.
Using the mirror as your guide is especially helpful for women, since an ideal I suggest women aspire to…those of the pro-bikini, figure and fitness competitors…require that the lady be willing to develop some serious muscle tone, in order to not only bring out those sexy curves (it’s the MUSCLE that gives you them that fantastic look) and of course, is the fuel for the fat-burning fire.
And no, you are not going to become muscle-bound, looking like the female bodybuilders in doing so. Those women are lifting extremely heavy, for long periods of time, taking in huge huge calorie counts, and very often…steroids or other hormonal enhancements to achieve that degree of muscularity.
So as the female puts on this muscle tone and definition, and her body fat comes down, the scale…her actual WEIGHT…may not be reflective (pun) of what she sees in the mirror.
And don’t let it be.
Forget the damn scale. Use the mirror to see how you can re-shape your body, bringing out shape in your legs, and just a little bit in the shoulders and arms, and then use my exercise techniques to tone done the midsection to help create the feminine hourglass effect that is so pleasing to the eye.
