Your WEIGHT does not determine your fitness level. Read that again...

For many starting on their fitness journey, the scale is where most start and ultimately end. Tracking progress solely through weight loss isn’t always the most efficient or healthy.

Weight loss is easiest as a by product of muscle building. If your weight is coming down that’s great! However, if your weight is coming down and your losing strength and muscle size, that’s a no no. In order to combat this, make sure you are consuming high levels of protein, 1 gram per pound of body weight should do it.

Follow this parameter, and you’ll find that as you continue to lose weight, not only will you be stronger, but your clothes will fit better and your weight loss will come from other sources... like FAT!!!

That’s the end of our METRICS coverage. Check back soon for our next segment!
