Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss: Body Composition and Progress You Can Feel
When you work to lose weight and the number on the scale doesn't move but your clothes start fitting more comfortably, that’s a sign you're headed in the right direction.
As you build lean muscle tissue and cut back on highly processed foods, your waist, hips, and other measurements can shrink even when your weight stays the same. You look firmer and more fit, and your clothes fit better. The scale measures only weight, while body composition tells a fuller story.
This is because muscle is more dense than fat, so a pound of muscle takes up much less space in the body than a pound of fat (1). Muscle also keeps working for you after you exercise. Your body continues to burn calories as it recovers, possibly for up to 48 hours (2).
There Are Many Approaches to Weight Loss
At Abundant Health, we take a whole-person, preventative approach. There is no one-size-fits-all plan. We take the time to understand you and look at the full picture. Maybe there is an underlying thyroid condition we can treat, or an appetite-suppressing medication that may help. Then we build an achievable and sustainable plan that grows with you.
When? Now is Good!
The best time to start caring for your health is now - even if you don't feel like it.
