How Did I gain 5lbs overnight??

Ive been on a ketogenic diet for a while for weight loss and it's been going great. I've lost 15lbs so far. Yesterday I think I made a mistake and ate something with sugar in it. When I woke up today and all day my weight has been fluctuating between 120-125lbs but the day before my weight was fluctuating between 115-120lbs.

Did my mistake make me gain 5lbs in one night?

    I wouldn't be too concerned about a little sugar. I doubt that would make you gain 5lbs overnight. Perhaps your scale is a little buggy. I would also try to refrain from checking the scale so often. If your following the diet then all will be fine. Allow your body to adjust to water gain and change. It's natural and I am sure everything will be fine. I'm not sure how tall you are but if you're at 115 - 125, that seems pretty great! If you are just trying to maintain your weight, then try giving your body a 10 lb lead way from your ideal weight to adjust to the normalities of daily life. Keep up the fantastic work! I am certainly envious of you :)

  • I have gained 5lb overnight but usually its from a binge. Test your scale for accuracy as you may need a new one. Also, weighing yourself several times a day is not a good practice...been there! Commit and put your scale away for a few days...or try to any way 馃檪
