The others had some great advice and insight and I just wanted to add one thing.
How much water are you drinking? Did you know that 64 oz of water is 4 pounds? Also how much food? 16oz steak perhaps? Food and water are not weightless. When we ingest them we take on their weight until it passes through our digestive track and out of our bodies.
So if you are consuming say 5 pounds of water and another 3 pounds of food by the end of the day you would probably end up 4 or 5 pounds heavier. Food takes a bit longer to run it's course through the system than water does afterall  |
