body will be unable to burn off the excess energy, and
the excess will be stored in the body as fat and your
weight will increase.
Results in relation to time
Remember that only long-term trends are impor-
tant. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few days
are usually the result of a loss of fluid.
The interpretation of the results will depend on chang-
es in your overall weight and body fat, body water and
muscle percentages, as well as on the period during
which these changes take place. Sudden changes
within days must be distinguished from medium term
changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).
A basic rule is that short term changes in weight al-
most exclusively represent changes in water content,
whereas medium and long term changes may also in-
volve the fat and muscle percentages.
• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your
body fat percentage increases or remains the same,
you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training ses-
sion, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid
weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the medium term and
the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simulta-
neously then your diet is working – you are losing fat
mass.
• Ideally you should support your diet with physical
activity, fitness or power training. This way you can
increase your muscle percentage over the medium
term.
• Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should
not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also
contain body water).
