when you jog do you retain water or what?

Question

when you start jogging is it normal to gain a little weight? why does it seem like it? its like a difference of 1 to 3 lbs?

Answer 1

weight gain is not necessarly a bad thing. Musels are heavier than body fat. So if you're burning fat but you get muscular then that's a good thing.

Answer 2

No, you lose water.....as you sweat, you burn calories, hence lose bodily moisture....i dont know the exact numbers, but they can be found on web md im sure....DOnt drink a gallon before you jog...never jog on a full stomach, but it is good to drink as you go.....Brodie
