Data Tracking Beyond the Scale
February 02, 2023
and that's why the scale is not scale is important um it's important like i like people to monitor their weight daily It's important, but it's not the most important thing. Like it's, and it's not the only thing you need to have. You need to layer in levels of things that you look at. How do I look? What do my pictures look like? What's my scale? What are my circumference measurements? It a lot of different things you could take because the more data that you have the more the less fuzzy the picture looks right So if you still just using the scale to dictate your body composition that like you're still using a Nokia flip phone, right? When you start adding in circumference measures, technology and pictures and all the other stuff, now it's like going to like an iPhone 21 or something. everything's more clear and you have a better, you have a better position to actually assess what's happening and whether, whether we're moving in the right direction or not that, because, you know, most guys, again, they'll, most guys, when they want to gain muscle, they'll use the scale. So if they're not gaining weight, they'll just eat more and eat more and eat more. And then one day, you know, they, they, people start commenting on how good they look in their clothes. And one day they step out of the shower and they go, Oh fuck, I took the boat too far and then they starve it off.
