The number on your scale is one pixel of the entire picture.
If you are over 50 and working on your body composition, the scale can move in the wrong direction while your body moves in the right one, because you are losing fat and building muscle at the same time. In this episode I share the three metrics that actually tell you the truth about your transformation, plus a bonus fourth that most people skip and regret skipping.
You will learn:
Why the goal weight in your head is an arbitrary number from years ago
Why losing muscle after 50 makes you lighter and less fit at the same time
How to measure body fat, from a DEXA scan to a simple home scale to calipers
Why you cannot gain a pound of fat overnight, even when the scale jumps
What to measure, how often, and what a real body recomposition looks like in your clothes
Why steep calorie deficits, heavy cardio and low protein are a recipe for skinny fat after 50
