Am i possibly fatter than I was 5 lbs ago?!
Question:
Am i possibly fatter than I was 5 lbs ago?
not so long ago, i kept myself very dehydrated and i was always thirsty because i wanted the best results on the scale. Then i became very athletic (more than i already was) and couldnt keep this up, so i drank sooooo much fluid. the scale shot up 5 lbs but i dont think i overeat and my clothes fit fine. is it just my body saturating itself in water? how long does it for excess calories to store themselves as fat anyway?
Answers:
It's water weight. Also, if you're athletic, muscle weighs more than fat, so could be your muscles. Get a tape measure and a journal and keep your measurements over time: lot more accurate than a scale. Also, is your scale out of whack?
