why is it the night be4 i gain a pound but the next morning i am bak to to my normal weight?

Answer 1

It's water weight gain. See as the day goes on you put on water pounds, The more you eat or drink, and the more you bloat with movement, or not moving. It all depends on you activities that day but you can gain anywhere up to 5 pounds before you go to bed, only to wake up to them gone. It's a normal process of life. That's why doctors recomend you weighing yourself in the morning rather than afternoon or night. It's your actual weight rather than water weight.

Answer 2

If you have been losing weight regular but results have started to diminish then you have probably reached a fat loss plateau where fat loss is very slow or has stopped. There can be a few causes but the most common cause is that the body is adapting to the level of activity and calorie intake. To overcome this problem I often take some time out. Yes, I REDUCE exercise and up calorie intake slightly plus I lower the intensity of the exercise.


The reason is that regularly forcing the body to lose weight with lots of exercise AND coupled with insufficient energy and nutrient intake can easily push it into an over-trained state. The body is struggling to recover from all the exercise. If I were to continue exercising the stress would probably cause catabolic hormone levels to rise. This encourages the loss of muscle protein thus lowering metabolic rate. A lowered metabolism is the main reason weight loss slows. Learn more about the plateau when losing weight.



The idea is I raise calories especially protein to help my body recover completely. Less exercise also aids slow recovery and repair minor injuries picked up from all the months of regular training. At this time I also get chance to refresh mental drive and motivation. After about 5 days I slowly start exercising again. The resting period has helped my body become stronger and I then tackle further workouts with new vigor to start boosting fat loss again!


The body needs to recover from the stress of exercise it’s actually one of the most important factors for developing strength and fitness!



As an example, if I'm on around 1800 calories per day and fat loss starts to slow, so within the last 5 days I haven't lost any fat, I stop exercising completely for 5 days. At the same time I up calorie intake to around 2300 per day. After the 5 days I start back with 15 minutes light cycling every other day and again reduce calories slowly beginning at 2000 for a week.



When I’m attempting to lose weight if I hit a slow fat loss plateau, which tends to happen about every 4-5 weeks, I use this method, I also try to change exercise routine or I change the previous one slightly.

Two reasons- First off it takes about 8 -12 hours for you body to digest the last meal you eat, this usually happens more overnight than during the day, as we eat more often during the day then at night.
Secondly, we all actually get a little taller during the night and shrink during the day. When you sleep all your joints and connective tissues relax and you actually will be a bit taller first thing in the morning, so our bodies carry the weight a bit better and you weight a bit lighter in morning. During the day with gravitry pulling at us all day the joints and connective tissues shrink slightly and by bedtime we are a bit heavier.

Answer 4

Because your active during the day, and while your sleeping at night, your body is burning calories to repair damage to muscles that incurred during your waking hours. Even if you are only moderately active, you still require muscle repair. The more physical stress you place on your muscles, the more energy that is burned at night while you sleep. Muscle repair causes weight to be released from your body in the form of heat-energy. This is why strength training will cause weight loss faster than cardio workouts. But of course, the key to making this work, is to not increase your calorie intake. Muscles do weigh more than fat, but you can't build muscle mass without sufficient caloric intake: hense the weight loss.

Answer 5

If you take in a pound of food you are going to weigh a pound more. Simple math.

BUT during the night that food is digested, broken down to it molecular level. You sweat out some of it. You pee out some and ... well you know what happens to the rest. The food is converted to fuel for your body!

And while you are young, and you have the metabolism of a rabbit, you can burn quite a few calories sleeping.

Answer 6

Did you consume something? Are weight alterations threw the day as we positioned food into our stomaches. the suitable time to weigh your self is interior the morning in the past you consume or drink something. frequently that could as much as 3 pounds. Plus in case you're on the factor of initiate your physique is possibly keeping water, to counteract this drink greater water! Sounds stupid in spite of the shown fact that it flushes out saved water and fat. good success =)

Answer 7

Your true weight is in the morning when you first wake up. your body breaks down the food you put into your body at night and turns it into glucose and energy ext.... by the time you wake in the morning you body Had digested the food from the night before, therefore making you a pound liter. I

Answer 8

You always weigh less in the morning. You haven't eaten in a long time. Throughtout the day, your weight can change by as much as 5 pounds. Weigh yourself at the same time each day.

Answer 9

water retention and all the day's food inside of you. But its only 1 pound you gain. If it were more...then start to get scared...just kidding.

But its just all the foods and water you ate for the day staying in your body. When you sleep, your body secretes a lot through sweat and oil.

Answer 10

You will be back to your normal weight the next morning because while you are sleeping your metabolism is, although not nearly as fast as when you are active during the day, is still working during the night, thus causing you to lose weight during the night!
