Why You Shouldn't Worry About Overnight Weight Gain (1)

That "extra lb" is probably not as bad as you think. 

Our body is made up by 55-70% water on average and a large part of the daily weight fluctuations will be due to temporary fluid retention and food in transit. 

There are various reasons why one may retain liquids:
👉Excess sodium
👉Excess carbohydrates (for each gram of carbohydrate stored as glycogen in our
body, between 2.5-3g of water is retained)
👉Stress
👉Being on your period
👉Physical inactivity
