Feel less fat but scales don't change?

[Anonymous]

I have definitely lost weight as my neck area and stomach have definitely dropped fat deposits. But the scales say the same weight? Can eating habits simply change fat distribution rather than remove it?

If you are working out then your muscle will weigh more than fat - you can be healthier and clothes for better but weigh about the same

What if I'm not going to the gym, just eating cleaner ad drinking more liquids like ginger and lemon tea?

muscle weighs more than fat but is smaller
so you can weigh the same or more and be a lot slimmer

[steveeee_94]

are you exercising at all?

[Asker]

Nope, just simply eating less and drinking more herbal teas. I feel like my metabolism is higher now but I'm also eating cleaner. Possibly my longest spell of having breakfast in years

may be wise to consult a doctor then

[Asker]

Really? Whys that? Is it serious?

[steveeee_94]

a second opinion from a professional is always wise when weight loss is involved

I haven't lost weight though... I'm simply saying composition of my body feels like it's changed. Thanks though :)

If you're doing weight and strength training, then it's probably muscle that you're building.

Salt content and sugar content play a huge role in that and it's possible you aren't drinking enough plain water. Or you're eating just enough to maintain weight.

Most likely, though, you didn't necessarily lose only fat, but you just may not be bloated. A lot of people are more bloated than they think and eating cleaner gets rid of the bloating, but you could still be maintaining weight depending on the calories you eat.

You could be gaining muscle and losing fat

Then I don't think that's what would be happening
