| Jul 19, 2011 at 13:13 | comment | added | Berin Loritsch | I have a friend who can't process certain types of foods. It's not a common ailment, and I can't remember the medical name for it. The bottom line is that when she has foods that she can't process, her body responds by getting bloated. It's not a violent allergic reaction where she would need to get epinephrin shots like someone who is allergic to peanuts would. However, it is enough to cause some temporary weight gain until that food is out of her system. | |

| Jul 18, 2011 at 20:26 | comment | added | Fattie | Hi @Chris -- absolutely agree. I am getting probably the best electric scale, other than commercial scales (ie for weighing pallets, etc). It is not here yet - I'll give you a report on it. Note that the one I'm getting is a "single point" scale which makes all the difference - but still! If you're in the USA you can actually buy a REAL scale relatively cheaply ... amazon.com/Seca-700-Physicians-Balance-Height/dp/B001394XE6 - but of course you need the room for it. basically anyone who can, should buy a real (beam) scale. The electric ones are crap and fall apart anyway!!!! | |

I do have pretty good confidence in my 1 kg scale, but that doesn't do me much good. | |
| Jul 18, 2011 at 16:57 | comment | added | Christopher Bibbs | Don't forget to include error rate of the scale itself. I've put my weights on the scale and they've managed to gain and lose weight on different days. | |
