If you find it a bit maddening to follow the daily fluctuations of the scale even though you are eating properly, pick three days of the week on which you will always weigh yourself (for example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Vinson had participants keep their normal diet and exercise routines (or lack thereof) and merely added the green coffee. Many people don't have the time to weight themselves every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you're working to lose weight and keep it off.
