If you practice any sport or diet, you will surely want to measure the results achieved, because everything that is measured can be improved more easily.

There are many ways you can keep a close eye on changes in your body composition:

1. Scales

After you lose significant amounts of fat, even if you have accumulated a small amount of muscle along with this process (which is less likely with the advancement of your diet), you will lose weight.



2. The centimetre tape

Does your waistline decrease? If so, then your diet has an effect.

3. Body fat measurement

There are many ways to do this: measuring body weight under water, calipers, measuring electrical impedance. If you did, remember that the specific percentage you get as a result is not necessarily accurate. With multiple measurements (using the same method, the same equipment), the direction of change is what matters.



4. The mirror

It is bodybuilding, the word means building the body, and the most important thing is ultimately how you look.

Definitely, regular body weight measurement is a fundamental way to check whether your diet is working. However difficult it is, it is best to measure no more than once or twice a week. As we said, the body does not lose weight evenly and prolonged, so you should check your weight at intervals that are large enough to see the real progress when it happens.
Besides using scales, we have always preferred to look at the results.



You show your body, not how heavy you are. So the mirror is your primary judge of how far you have reached in obtaining a racing form. When using a mirror, it is best to always use the same mirror, and the same lighting - a definite mirror in a part of the room, for example. This reduces the associated variables, so any changes you observe are probably due to diet rather than to environmental factors or lighting.



There are other ways you can determine how much your body has changed. For example, get someone to shoot you once a week, so you can see what the effect of the workouts and diet you follow. These photos tell us everything we want to know. If you think the results happen too slowly, make changes to your program.

Adherence to diet, as well as training, must be done intelligently.

Check the results together with your progress, and make the changes you think are necessary for your further progress. Since your metabolic rate can change in different seasons and years, and as people differ so much from each other, countless instructions will not be enough when it comes to building a diet.
