Are you asking about water weight simply from what you drink every day while
maintaining a LC woe? Who cares? Just get on the scale at the same time
everyday and forget about it.
Or, are you asking about the additional water weight your body will hold in
your muscle and liver when you consume a large amount of carbs after being
on LC for a fair amount of time? That is a more real question, IMO, because
as you graduatelly increase your carb intake you might find yourself
approaching the higher weight. Or, if you should carb up your wieght will
increase due to holding water. So, if while on low carb you weigh X, then it
is very possible that when not on LC you could weigh X+Y, when Y is the
weight of the water held in your muscles and liver. I consider both of
those to be real, meaningful numbers.
Perdu said:Probably does not matter much. But there has been much discussion on
"water weight" and so on, especially during the initial period of
lowcarb.But when you bounce 6 or 7 pounds a day, it is beginning to make no
sense.If someone can vary as much as 6 or 7 pounds a day it becomes
suspicious. Is it the scale? I had it tested and it's a new Tanita.
Checked against the doctor's office. All good. My wife is
consistently weighs in within .5 pounds. Each day.Ok. So I do drink a lot of water. Probably not enough, but what I
call a lot. 60 to 80 oz a day. (I think. Had not measured.)So the question is - you weigh between 245 and 251 lbs. What is your
REAL weight? the first of the morning 245, or the late afternoon 251?Before the avalanche - yes I know one should not obsess with
weighing too many times. Once a week is preferred, by my humble
research. But even then, how can one know? Gotto arrive at your goal
and stay there 2 years before you stabilize?Let it rip..
