The reason being is in order to reach ketosis you loose all your glycogen stores (sugar) from your muscles and liver. These stores hold somewhere around 3-4 times their weight in water.<BR/><BR/>This is why you get the big woosh in the first few days as you enter ketosis and why you regain overnight after leaving ketosis. All it is, is your muscles refilling with water and glycogen.<BR/><BR/>This isn't a bad thing, it will give your muscles a more fuller look and give you a bit more strength.<BR/><BR/>When people reach goal and hit maintanance they get too scared to eat too much because of that initial gain. Personally I wouldn't worry about that initial overnight gain unless you are eating something that isn't agreeing with you and you feel bloated. It is whether you continue to gain that I'd worry about.<BR/><BR/>Hope I just made sense lol.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16627887590504890131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22078522.post-54664167879872946522007-04-09T13:02:00.000+10:002007-04-09T13:02:00.000+10:00I'm glad you realize it's just water.

But once I got back on plan it took just a couple of days to get it off. Now I'm back at my lowest weight and waiting for the scale to drop again. <BR/><BR/>It's all really the mindset we are in. We can't let the "I can't do this" thought pattern have free run in our minds. It will do us in everytime!<BR/><BR/>Have a great week!Amy Dunganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125706233425564277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22078522.post-50756277077059333672007-04-09T07:30:00.000+10:002007-04-09T07:30:00.000+10:00I sure know what you mean with the water weight ga...I sure know what you mean with the water weight gain!! I'm on a forum and you frequently see posts from newbies freaking out because they gained after a small, but high carb splurge. <BR/><BR/>I tend to retain fluid, and high carb just makes it much worse.Alcinda (Cindy) Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950698583878546323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22078522.post-66527944392721907252007-04-09T06:01:00.000+10:002007-04-09T06:01:00.000+10:00My own experience is that when I eat lots of eithe...My own experience is that when I eat lots of either sugar or dry foods (bread etc) then my weight will increase the next day. My theory is that the dry food will require me to drink more, hence the weight gain. Similarly for sugar, it makes me thirsty and up goes the weight the next day.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984651112463067927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22078522.post-60873805391042580992007-04-08T21:21:00.000+10:002007-04-08T21:21:00.000+10:00If you haven't ever visited her site - check out h...If you haven't ever visited her site - check out her line of progress pictures - I loved it. she also has a lot of info on tummy tucks - with pictures (on her side bar) - I always swore that I would never do that - but lately have wondered about it - when I saw her pix (before) - I am wondering if I really can get mine flat with pilates and yoga work - because her before's look like my befores (in my mind) and I realized how far I have come.<BR/><BR/>http://weightwatchen.com/Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22078522.post-23340040061756415762007-04-08T21:18:00.000+10:002007-04-08T21:18:00.000+10:00It is so funny how differently we all process fuel...It is so funny how differently we all process fuel - I know another blogger who is on a low fat food plan - can eat carbs like crazy - no impact - but for her - fat packs on the pounds.
