I'm not trying to discount your progress, but you likely didn't lose 1kg of fat. If you were actively trying to change your diet, you probably consumed fewer carbs or less salt, which having fewer carbs and less salt causes your body to retain less water. Low carb diets often show a very dramatic weight loss in the first week because as carbs are flushed from your body, the water they're holding onto is flushed as well.
- dpark 8y agoI think you misread the parent comment. 1kg is not much weight and is not presented as if it is. He’s saying he didn’t exercise and essentially lost no weight.
- freehunter 8y agoI understand that, the point I was trying to make is the "I gained that back over the holiday" isn't actually gaining the weight back, it's just putting more carbs and salt into your body so the scale goes up, but the fat levels likely didn't change. I understand they were dancing around saying "I didn't lose anything", I was just trying to make the point that they likely didn't gain much either. Tiny fluctuations like that happen more around water weight than fat weight.
