WEB DESK: The proper diet and appropriate workout is necessary to shred extra pounds which everyone knows but very few people actually know that it is equally important to weigh yourself at one particular time as it may give you accurate result. 

Besides all that diet and gym schedule, a person has to monitor his weight carefully. According to experts, it is more beneficial if you decide to weigh yourself at particular time and stick to it no matter what.  Why experts are encouraging people to weighing them at one decided time ? Because, weight fluctuates throughout the day and you won't get accurate numbers if you stand on scale on different timings.

M.D., medical director of the Wellness Clinic at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, Holly Wyatt says,“You need to know that number on a consistent basis to help you manage your weight to make better decisions about your health."

Moreover, it is better if you stand on scale early in the morning and before weighing yourself make sure you have emptied your bladder and don't have breakfast or go to gym or do any other activity, experts consider it a perfect way of weighing as it will provide you accurate numbers.

Lastly, it is even more useful if you put your scale on harder surface it will impede it from moving and its needle will stay firm at one place. Therefore, next time before weighing yourself don't forget to follow the above procedure.
