Answer 2

Salt intake.

High salt=high water retention=higher weight but easy to lose. It takes 3 days for excess salt to be filtered out.

Also, some foods stay in the intestines longer than others, or you can be constipated sometimes and be heavier.

Any fast weight gain or losses usually have everything to do with water.

You can help this by drinking lots of water during the day (this actually decreases water bloating), and eating diuretic foods like fruits, vegetables, parsley, green leafy vegetables etc.
Try to lower your salt intake.

Answer 3

Well I would say it is water weight. Your body will be different weights depending on how much water you are retaining. Also how much gas you have in your stomach can affect this. The main difference in weight though is water....
