why is my weight going UP?
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve really kicked into high gear at the gym. Ive been going steady for 5 days a week and really sweating. I do 40 min of cardio and alternate upper and lower body when strength training.
Problem is, Ive been stepping on the scale lately and the weight has been consistency going UP. What gives??!
I usually work out but lately I took some time off cause of sickness, its not like my body is not used to working out!
Ive been slowly but surely improving my diet, but I definitely have not been eating MORE. What gives??!

you’re building muscle or retaining water likely…if your food has been the same.

Muscle ways more than fat. Unfortunately the scale cant tell the difference between the two. At points like this you need to be aware of your BF%. This will be the best way of tracking your progress. If you BF% is going up, then you have something to worry about. If its gone down, then you are doing the right thing. Your BF% and the mirror will never lie to you. The scale often times tends to be a HATER!
