Hi everyone,
I have been doing the diet (800) for 9 days now with brilliant and positive results . I weigh myself every morning then check my blood sugar and blood pressure. This morning I weigh half a kilo more than yesterday ?? I have averaged losing half a kilo a day up until this point. I’m being strict with myself but just wondered if the weight fluctuates ? Bit disappointed this morning in all honesty I’m drinking more water than a fish !! Anybody else get this ?
Cheers
Our weight normally fluctuates by upto 2kg over the course of a day. –
A 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg, so it depends on where you are in your input / output cycle :-).
Then there is the weight of the food in your digestive system, 800 calories of celery or salad weighs much more than 800 calories of cheese or meat.
The average domestic scale is not very accurate, even if it has a digital reading it is still basically a metal spring which can be effected by temp, humidity, how level, a stray coin or screw rolling under the scales.
Then on top of that as we keep our insulin levels down our bodies have a chance to heal, that includes growth hormone getting a chance to work as it should, so your body can heal – bones can get stronger, and muscles strengthen, both of which will increase weight.

For all these reasons, monitoring progress by the scales is not a good idea. Far better to take photographs and take measurements and use those to monitor progress.
Thanks for your comments made me feel better . I have 4kg to go until I’ve lost 10% of my body weight so onwards and upwards .
