Yes.

my sleep, what happens next?

So fix the sleep.

And then the other elements we're to try to simplify this is, okay, so you have a goal of fat loss.

You have to make the individual understand that this is about fat loss.

And the scale is just a very, very vague proxy of what's going on.

And so the usefulness of what the bathroom scale is telling you will get progressively less.

So it'll get more and more useless the more fit that you become and the closer you come to your goal.

Because some people can actually gain lean mass or muscle mass

while they're losing fat mass.

And so they're losing inches, their body fat percent is coming down, but the scale won't necessarily register that.

And so people have to understand it's not 100% about the scale telling you what's going on.

I'll give you an example.

So if you were to take somebody through who is completely untrained, they're fresh off the couch and their goal is to reduce their body fat in half.

In that process, they may gain, depending on the time period, let's say it's a six month period, they may gain up to six, probably more pounds of muscle mass.

during that period.

And I would rather people look, when they engage a program, I would rather them look at the six to 12 month overview rather than the popular, okay, I want this in six weeks type of thing.

And so if they understand that they're going to gain a certain amount of muscle mass just by virtue of engaging the right training program and getting their diet correct, then this is going to offset

who knows, six to 10 pounds of weight loss that they would have wanted.

And in that case, that's where it becomes important for people to take note of how clothing is fitting, you know, take note of how that might reflect circumference measurements.
