Oh my god... you woke up and you are 1lb heavier than you were the morning before.
What do you do? Extra hour of cardio? 1000 less calories? Give up on your diet? Sit in a sauna? Stop drinking water?.... I’ve seen just about anything when this happens.
But it is amazing what you should do...
Care to guess?
Change nothing... weird right? It’s actually not. Overnight weight gain is almost as fake as the weight you gain after drinking or eating a cheat meal.
One of my favorite accounts on IG shared the picture for this blog the other day and it’s something you need to look at.. remember.. and accept.
Overnight weight gain can be just as normal as overnight weight loss.
Some reasons why you could have gained weight overnight are pretty simple.
You ate at midnight instead of 10pm. Say life got to you and you ate at midnight and still woke up at 6am.. means your body had two less hours to digest.
Again.. you went to sleep at midnight instead of 10pm and woke up at 6am. Your body is super confused.
You trained your whole upper body instead of training abs and calves like you did the day before. The more muscle activated could cause weight gain whether do to gains or stress or etc.
You added sodium.. you know Hot Sauce or salt/pepper to everywhere instead of just that chicken meal you usually do.
Increases stress.. stress will cause you to have high cortisol .. Retain more water.. good luck caring about weight when the stress is on you.
Increased carbs.. member that cheat meal theory? Same with you had an extra carb side with dinner instead of normal rice.
Haven’t went to bathroom.. weird that going to bathroom changes our weight... not really just sounds gross when I say take a poop or pee and you’ll lose weight.
But what it is not... ITS NOT FAT... fat is gained over long periods of time.. you didn’t gain a lb of fat just like you didn’t gain a lb of muscle in one day.
Just be okay with it and get back in control and worry about if the scale goes up everyday.
I hope you enjoyed this!
