Woke up today looked at scale 168, if you remember thats a gain of 1 lb from yesterday. Now lets look at why that may be. If we remember I still had at least a 500-600 caloric deficit. Lets look back at possible reasons.
1. Weightloss is far from an exact science and is definitely not linear (boo :/ )
2. Last nights meal was quite large and now that extra weight is in my digestive tract (along with other food that this diet tends to not flush out quite well)
3. Last nights meal was very high in sodium
4. I didn't drink very much water yesterday.
Ok now lets look at each in some kind of detail
1. Well theres not much to number 1 its more of what happen and 2,3,4 are the reasons why
2. All that extra weight of the food tends to accumulate, I have been neglecting fiber and not supplementing it so as you can guess there is still some food in my GI tract
3. Sodium can cause bloating, one of the reasons that they say not to have diets in sodium during weight loss because it can stall weight loss and causes people to fall off the bandwagon, even though you may be losing fat. Sodium causes accumulation of water thus making you heavier and not complimenting your looks.
4. Not enough water contrary to what may seem logical, if you don't drink a lot of water, your body holds on to whatever water it can. Thus storing what it can, and making you bloated as well and heavier just like sodium does.
5. Not necessarily proven but quite possible, is that when losing fat your body mobilizes the triglyceride stored which is stored with water as well, giving it the fullness, so when the body mobilized the triglyceride the water was left behind still making your fat cell enlarged. This will eventually go away, also may be the mechanism of why when you add carbs or have a cheat day to your diet you can continue to lean up even though you ate more than you burned that day.
Anyways ill update more later enjoy guys, time to go have lunch with Karla
