Diet Started Scale Went Up | WHY?

[@ajchanter]

Great points! Very insightful to what I’m going through right now haha

[@PaulRevelia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aliciaohara8794]

I'm a female with about 40lbs to lose...I have been panicking because the scale is just not moving much. I've "only" lost about 5lbs according to the scale, but my pants are falling off, and I'm able to wear things that didn't fit before. Everything you said makes so much sense and reassures me to just keep going. Thank you!

[@mistynight123]

Great vid. Thanks for this. For 2 weeks I've been training hard, improving my macros, feeling and looking fitter, but the scale went up 2lbs. This vid has encouraged me to keep going and not to be discouraged. Thank you. X

[@riqueleajimenez1544]

Thank you!!!!!! I was feeling so down on myself. For the first time in my life I have been weighing my food, drinking over a gallon of water, and hitting my protein goal daily and the scale went up. I was so discouraged, this is exactly what I needed to see!! I really need to learn patience. lol

[@nithinextreme]

Just 2L subscribers!! This guy deserves more. One of the best knowledgeable coach out there.

[@PaulRevelia]

Thanks 😊

[@ajqueen31]

I didn't see consistent drop on the scale until week 3, the 1st week it was the same or higher. Even with the desired slow drop, my clothes are much looser and physique more toned. Non-scale measurements are great to do to stay motivated!

[@PaulRevelia]

Awesome that’s pretty common

[@martiepenick3629]

Thank you for commenting this. I'm at the end of week two and haven't seen anything happen. I'm trying to keep my head wrapped around the idea (fact) that this is a long term thing - months and months

[@nothanks1239]

That's a relief. Was excited to weigh myself, after the first week of diet and exercise, and was gutted to see I gained a pound. I will keep this up for a further three weeks and if nothing changes, I'll have to re-evaluate my diet.

[@carreeem2568]

i’m so bummed out it’s been almost a week of working out building muscle intense cardio eating in a caloric deficit but still no weight lost or gaines

[@nitrorn1496]

Watching this 3 years after it was posted and really needed to hear this today!

[@lisasmith742]

OMG!!! You are the FIRST THAT HIT THE NAIL STRAIGHT ON THE HEAD!! Now I understand about the intake of fiber and how it can cause the scale to increase while losing fat. Thank you so much😊

[@devildog3799]

Yes!! Absolutely, gained 5 pounds in 2 months just not paying attention, going into huge surplus meals while working out. Your belt doesn’t lie!

[@umeremad2123]

Awesome video Paul! exactly what i'm going through right now thank you.

[@brianlynchmsb]

Good god, Paul, I hope you’re right. Week 2 of “de fatting” and the scale has barely budged. Working out consistently, weight training and walking 3-5 miles a day. 700 calorie deficit, high protein diet. :(

[@hatschiebatschie7358]

Bro how’s it going ? Did everything go well?

[@brianlynchmsb]

@@hatschiebatschie7358 yup 👍

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

I’m going through the same thing I been putting on more weight! I’m 53 I’m vegan 🌱 I workout at least a hour a day in my home gym or ride my bike, I don’t really have any body fat but my muscles have been getting bigger but I been putting on a lot of weight and I’m very confused about it. I don’t eat a lot either I eat a small breakfast and lunch 🥗 but I don’t eat anything in the evening! I drink coffee and tea and a lot of water! And i have type 2 diabetes so i think 🤔 maybe my body is holding more fluids for some reason! Great video Thank you 👍😎🤘

[@myatkinsketojourney1740]

This answered my question. Thank you for all the wonderful information!

[@PaulRevelia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@patriciakenny7799]

What are your opinions on powdered greens or cold press green drinks to supplement veggies?

[@philippegelinas3083]

So true! To much fiber from vegetable and sodium make my scale go up😁 I'm wondering also if eating to much vegetable could stale weight loss by slowing down our neat. Eating to many veggies can be hard to digest and maybe not giving the body the energy it needs🤔 I know a calories is a calories but I have a very different energy from eating a bowl of oats versus a bowl of veggies even if the calories are equal. 😝

[@PaulRevelia]

Digestion can change energy availability for sure.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Right Paul.....I'm dealing with this right now.

[@PaulRevelia]

Happens to us all

[@shouun7921]

Thanks Paul, excellent explanation, big help

[@rosewoodjasmine11]

Happening to me and I am like “oh man” I was so upset until I saw your video.

[@qwerty70403]

4 years old but still great info.

[@PaulRevelia]

Thanks 🙏

[@justinw9455]

[@familiasantos7992]

I kicked the scale because the number keeps going up. I started measurements and body fat measurements tool. I went from 34% body fat to 31% in 2 months and gained 15 pounds of lean muscle.

[@dandm20]

This is exactly what is happening to me.

[@laurenetruebeinginc]

Fantastic info!

[@PaulRevelia]

Much appreciated!

[@aliciasmart1]

Thank you for this!!! You answered the exact question i had for you next check-in :)

[@PaulRevelia]

Lol gotcha

[@Preciousjay30]

Very insightful man

[@PaulRevelia]

I appreciate that

[@gerjerwal]

This is exactly what happened to me I was thinking it was the creatine

[@jc9876]

Have you seen this happen with people who are on the overweight/obese side?

[@PaulRevelia]

Yes often from gaining muscle

[@billyc5010]

Awesome insight, thank you!

[@casualjules1]

Awesome video

[@JoseLopez-kv1lr]

This helps so much thank u for clearing my head im super ready to get back on my diet

[@iamhida493]

This is exactly why you can’t always go by the scale measurements

[@robinhensley3382]

Great video as always 💪

[@PaulRevelia]

Thanks

[@RosaLopez-my7hh]

Great video! What I’m going through! How long should I wait before I change my calories then? A few weeks? A few months?

[@anys2793]

🤔🤔🤔 I gained weight, Im back to the weight I had 2 years ago but I was looking at the pics and I still look leaner now, and I wear size 1 jeans which I didn’t fit at all 2 years ago. Scale is a pain in the ass 👎🏼

[@JokinJoe]

I've started a brand new weight lifting program and I've been eating extremely clean with a lot of protein. Oatmeal, chicken, veggies, brown rice, blueberries, lots of water.... It's been three weeks and the scale has barely budged. I've lost weight in the past easily, but didn't weight train like I am now. It's discouraging, but I'm going to stick with this for at least a year.

[@angela4fitness]

Great video !

[@PaulRevelia]

[@andrewclark489]

Hello Paul, what is the purpose of cardio if you can just drop your deficit the amount of calories you would be burning during that cardio session?

[@AFTone144]

Because you can eat more and not walk around starving all the time. Walking actually suppresses your appetite. I do a 500 calorie deficit and burn 500 calories walking for a total 1,000 cal deficit daily and drop about 2 lbs a week and never feel like I'm dieting.

[@magbro4248]

Nice video 🎉 but bro, i listened it in the gym via Headphones and your intros blew my ear 👂 shells…

[@PaulRevelia]

I got rid of that intro years ago.

[@cool918]

206.2 weight to today ok hi Katie 😊❤️

[@BADDMIXX]

So True!!!

[@prawingurung441]

Is it necessary to calculate the calorie coming from vegetables when we are in a caloric deficit?

[@PaulRevelia]

They can add up quickly so I do suggest it when learning.

[@ColinDeWaay]

Errrrrrey time

[@PaulRevelia]

Lol

[@Alba.Moore1]

I’m on this like white in 🍚

[@Alba.Moore1]

But what if the scale keeps going up after 5-6wks? Can you really be adding lean muscle mass while dieting

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

​@@Alba.Moore1 if you're close to maintenance calories the studies point to yes
