    Is it possible to GAIN 5 pounds in one day? Low Carb Diet...

    Ok, i was 230 Yesterday morning, but had not had any carbs in along while so i decided (Dont ask me why ) to have a big bowl of cereal (Corn Flakes, 2% Milk) about 2 1/2 hours before i went to bed..

    Woke up this morning (Before i eat anything) and weighted 235...

    What causes this? Where did this extra weight come from? Thanks.

    Water and glycogen.
    Squats work better than supplements.
    "You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

    I go from 155-160 throughout the day... I drink water like it's going out of style. I've started my new "I'm gonna be a fatass" diet now... maybe I can pack some LBS on. Damn water weight...
    The beginning:
    Feb 1st - 5'10" 155lbs 15%bf

    Current:
    March 30th - 5'10" (imagine that!) 170lbs 18%bf

    Squat: 205x3
    Bench: 205x1
    Deadlift: 305x3

    Goal: ~190lbs 18% bf (end of bulk target weight)

    my weight changes about 10 lbs throughout the day.

    basically I retain everything I eat.

    but I always weigh the same in the morning.......

    It won't "evaporate", but it will be consumed by your body via daily activities. If it is not replenished, then yes, you will lose what is commonly referred to as "water weight".

    drinks lot of sugar solution and not go to the toilet for a while.

    as for muscle NO. not even 1 kg of test will do that with 50 amps of insulin.
