In this week's podcast episode Jen discusses the common obsession with scale weight goals. It's too easy to get caught up in the numbers and forget that there are other measures that are equally important, depending on what your goals are.
 
Throughout this episode, Jen explores the various factors that contribute to improvements in both body composition and scale weight. She'll dive into the impact of a low carb diet on water loss and rate of weight loss, as well as the potential risks of losing weight too quickly.
 
It's important to remember that your scale weight can fluctuate due to hormones, stress, and dehydration, so taking a long-term approach and looking at all available data is crucial. Jen will also talk about challenging internal biases and learning your own body - something that can be hard to do when we're so focused on hitting a specific number on the scale
