Has anyone experienced the jiggly puff→whoosh phenomenon? It is when an area of your body gets all soft and squishy for no apparent reason when previously it was quite hard, just before a drop on the scale. This jiggly squishy fat has recently appeared on my stomach and thighs.
There is a little known theory discussed by Lyle McDonald that once the fat depletes from your fat cells they temporarily fill up with water giving you a soft squishy appearance. Eventually (how long?) the water leaves and you are leaner.
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just wishful thinking?
I've just completed a brutal workout without the gym and I am ready for my oats. I wish I could remember that I ALWAYS feel better after (and during) training even when it is the last thing I feel like.
I wish I could remember that, too, the feeling good after a brutal workout especially when I'm straining to carry my old self through the gym doors.
ReplyDeleteI've had the jiggly whoosh.
ReplyDeleteWhen I did low carb program end of 2007 I lost 10kg. I lost a lot of fat around my waist. I remember remarking to the naturopath that my stomach felt very 'mushy and soft' after I'd been on the program a couple of weeks, then it did seem to just melt off.
So, yes I think there is some change in the fat cells prior to it disappearing.
