Why Weight Fluctuation Is Normal | Nutritionist Explains... | Myprotein

Weight loss can be a long journey. An expert dietitian explains why weight fluctuation is normal.

You're doing everything you can, training hard adhering to a nutrition plan, and your weight seems to be going in the opposite direction than what you want it to be. Elle Kelly, a specialist in eating disorders and sports dietitian, explains why weight fluctuation is so normal and why we shouldn't get fixated on our weight.

There are many reasons why the scales can go up and down, water retention and women's menstrual cycles can be a factor. Elle shares why this is normal and why we shouldn't focus on the scales day to day.

P.S - it's normal for the scales to go up and down but if you do have any concerns, please get in touch with your GP.
