Water weight “gain”?



Recommended Posts

I was going to post this on mfp but I thought I’d post this here. I drink a bunch of Water almost everyday. I know I drink a lot more then the recommended amount. I usually try to watch how much I eat and also exercise. Sometimes from day to day my weight fluctuates. Could this be due to too much water?

Water in ... water out (eventually).

It's really hard to stockpile plain water.

My thoughts....too much Water and maybe not enough food and if you’re gaining, it could be from the lack of calories. ??? But I don’t know any other info other than you drink a lot of water. Might be worth looking in to.

Actually...it's VERY easy for some folks to retain water. Particularly if their salt intake is up a little some days and not others...this can cause pounds of fluctuation.

If you're someone who gets edema in your extremities, how much you exercised that day could also contribute to a water gain or loss. Or if you drink coffee or other dietary diuretics.

Hormonal water retention is known the world over during and before menses.

Water can be tricky.

But to answer your question...no, you should not restrict your water intake. Extra water will help flush out extra salt. Hydration is almost always beneficial.
