Non-Weight Measures of Progress. These are some valid and more importantly, healthy methods of monitoring your fat loss and/or health goals in 2024. I wanted to point these out because many of you will get fixated on the scale weight and won’t even realise that many of your health markers are improving, despite changes on the scale. Weekly average weight - Take your weight more than once a week. Maybe 2 - 3 times, and average out the number. That is your weekly check-in. Clothes fit - Have you started training whilst trying to lose fat? If so, alongside your scale weight, you should use another marker of improved body composition which is how your clothes fit. Body Fat % - This is the best for a fat loss goal, but obviously not everyone has access to a device that can capture it. If you do (e.g. a DEXA), track this throughout your fat loss program. Consistency - If you adopt the right weight loss goal, consistency will be the most important factor for achieving results. Keeping tabs on your adherence and compliance will provide feelings of accomplishment to power you forward. Joint Pain - Joint pain whilst exercising, running and walking is a common side effect of carrying unhealthy excess weight. Successful fat loss can help to relieve some of this pain. ....... What about Health? Energy levels - One of the first things you’ll notice when you start to improve the quality of your diet is increased energy levels, in the morning and throughout the day. Mood - This is an aspect of health that is not usually talked about in nutrition conversations. But the gut-brain axis has promising research proving the role it plays in well-being alongside a range of other nutritional factors that affect your cognitive state. Dietary Quality - Have you increased fruit and veg intake? That’s a win in my book, so it should be in yours too! This and other aspects of the diet that you have improved should be an accomplishment. Health - These are measures for you and your health professional to discuss, but should be a focus if they are at sub-optimal or high-risk conditions.
