The One Metric That Predicts Fat Loss Better Than the Scale(And Hardly Anyone Tracks It)

If your results are inconsistent, it’s probably because your actions are too.

You step on the scale.

It’s up.

You panic.

You cut more food.

You train harder.

You feel like you’re doing everything right.

But then you remember 

You had a few drinks Saturday.

You skipped a walk or two.

You didn’t track dinner on Tuesday.

And you barely slept all week.

The truth?

You’re not broken. You’re just not consistent enough yet.

Fat loss is predictable.  But only if your actions are.

Most people treat fat loss like a game of roulette.

They change 27 things at once.

Hope the scale drops.

Then lose their heads if it doesn’t.

But the best transformations?

They aren’t built on hope.

They’re built on consistency.

You can have the perfect training plan and the most dialled-in macros in the world

But if you only follow it 50% of the time, guess what kind of results you’ll get?

50%.

Track actions, not just outcomes

Here’s what I track each week with my clients:

→ How many meals hit their protein target?

→ How many training sessions were completed?

→ What was their step average?

→ Sleep hours?

→ What percentage of the plan was followed?

We don’t chase perfection.

We chase patterns.

Because when someone’s stuck, it’s rarely the plan.

It’s how often they’re actually following it.

Why the scale lies (but consistency doesn’t)

→ The scale fluctuates with water, stress, salt, travel, hormones, sleep, and bowel movements.

→ But your consistency tells the truth… Every single time.

When your consistency is 85%+, results follow.

When it’s below 60%? You’re just maintaining.

So the next time you get frustrated that the scale isn’t dropping, ask this:

“Am I actually being consistent?  Or just hoping I am?”

How to make consistency trackable

→ Pick 3-5 weekly targets: meals, steps, workouts, calories

→ Give yourself a score out of 100

→ Review weekly.  

Don’t judge.  Just adjust.

Start thinking like an investor.

You don’t evaluate a stock day by day - you look at the trend.

Your body works the same way.

The results you want are hiding behind the consistency you haven’t mastered yet.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about stacking enough good weeks in a row to finally see the shift.

When you zoom out and track actions

Not just outcomes

You stop the panic.

You stop the self-sabotage.

And you finally start making progress that sticks.
