weigh yourself every day, and don't eat for the rest of the day when you are above the center line.
Do scales actually work with enough accuracy that doing this even makes any sense?
It doesn't matter. Fluctuations with scales and with water retention may mean that you may end up fasting an extra day here and there for random reasons, but you will also end up eating on extra days for the same reason. It ends up the same on average.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
