10lbs wtf

[reso]

okay before i cheated i was 155-160, cheated monday to wednesday ,ate lots lots lots lots of carbs i mean lots lots of carbs

today i weighed in at 172 around their,how much of this is water? if so isn't that alot of water to be holding?

[Adam]

Should be mostly water. My freind just started a ckd 6 days ago and is down 12 pounds which wouldd all be water.

[Scooby-Doo]

wow... thats alot of water, didnt relize that you can "hold" so much of it... :)

[reso]

how much u think of it is fat,since i piged out from monday to wednesday ? atleast 2lbs??
since alot of it is water weight?

[MWB]

It's mostly water. I gained about 12lbs one week then the next lost 10-11 of it. Remember, a pound of fat is 3500 cals.

[reso]

well i know each day i had over 3500cals hehe

[syntekz]

you weigh yourself at the same time? that affects weight a lot.

most likely it was mostly water.

3500 cals == 1 lb.
but, you have to factor in however many calories it takes to maintain your body weight as well.

** quit worry'n. do you look 12 lbs fatter? **

[Short N Buff]

note that fat is less dense. reworded: fat takes a lot of space per amt of weight. so 1lb of fat is more obvious than 1lb of water.

[Beefy Boy]

I think that is a **** load of water weight.I agree with syntekz''do u look 12 pounds fatter''.I think too many people judge themselves by the scales and not by the mirror!The mirror never lies.

[Short N Buff]

mirror never lies...um...the widening mirrors at gyms lie..

[Beefy Boy]

Ok i am sorry that was a false staement wasn't it, but i think you know was i was trying to say.

[Prelude]

mirror never lies...um...the widening mirrors at gyms lie..


.....that's why I look fat everytime I go to the gym! Then at clothing shops they use those mirrors that make you tall so you'll look good and buy their clothes.

remember your body needs 4 pounds of water to store 1 pound of carb. So, in your case; since, you gained 12 pounds from eating lots of carb, I would say about 9 pounds of your weight gain is water.

[Twizted]

that's what i've heard 4 grams of water to store each gram of carbs

[The_Chicken_Daddy]

haha 4lbs?!

you're well mixed up breeze.

that would imply drinking like 5 pints of water.

Twizted seems to be closer but the precise value is more like 1g glycogen holds 4.32g. 4g is a close enough number though.

[syntekz]

12 * 3500 == 42,000

Do you really think you ate an extra 42,000 calories in those days you cheated?

My statment stands. It's a 4:1 ratio wither it's Grams, pounds or ounces. The unit of measurement doesn't matter.

[The_Chicken_Daddy]

I wasn't saying that - if you look my answer says the same thing.

I was saying that 1 [whatever units] hold 4 [whatever units] of water and not vice versa as you said.
