Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey, we need to talk. Let's go for a drive. So here's just a little tip.

When you are trying to lose weight, what people do is they measure themselves every single day

on the scale. They watch the scale. They look at themselves in the mirror and they don't see

anything because it's so gradual and you're not going to see anything because it's so gradual.

You're going to get so frustrated. You're just going to give up. So first rule of thumb.

Don't weigh yourself every day. Don't even look at yourself in the mirror every day because

it's you're not going to really see anything. I think it's important to take an initial picture of

yourself. I think it's important to weigh yourself once a week max because that way you can

start seeing a change every day. It's just too gradual. It sets you up for a loss.

We want to build up on wins, right? So that's one thing. Measuring yourself. I like measuring

the waist as the primary indicator to know that it's working. So you measure the waist

and do it every week, not every day. Then you can start seeing changes and you start getting

excited about that. But don't be looking at yourself every day in the mirror because that's just

going to be it's just too gradual. It's kind of like with exercise, people like they're working

out before and after one workout looking in the mirror to see what they look like. You're not

going to see any changes with one workout. A better indicator would be to focus on like how many

push-ups or sit-ups or reps that you did and you can do over time to see the improvement.

And you can keep measuring improvement by how you're able to handle a workout and how fit you

are. That way you're looking very objectively at the doing-nesses, not the having-ness part

because you want to get yourself in the focus of the doing things and keep improving more doing
