Thread 76742320

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I inform you that, after my week-long total weight-loss stagnation/plateau, I have gone 3+lbs down from yesterday.

ITT, share your plateau success/horror stories. How long did it last, did you make it, and why in the fuck do our bodies do it? I was literally eating 400 calories a day and for 8 solid days did not lose even 0.1 lbs. How is that physically possible? Is the conservation of energy a meme that Fauci made up to control us?

It's always water weight

This is not a nice board.
Are you sure it's not just water/glycogen? I just did a weekend p-smf and I'm 4 lbs down from Friday and have to carry this out the rest of the week to try to shave off ~2.5 lbs of fat by next Friday I'll expect my weight to be around -8 from where it started but I also anticipate 5 and some change to come back.

>400 calories a day for 8 days
that's bad for losing weight, just eat normally but a little less so you maintain da muscles
this is nice board

Not water weight. This is after having lost 15~ish pounds over 4-ish weeks. But even if it was water weight: how the fuck can I not be eating for a week and not lose weight? I weigh myself at the same time every day when I wake up, before drinking water or anything and after going to the bathroom.

The calories I eat are basically all protein (to meet my goals), with some unsaturated fat and vitamins so I get my micronutrients.

>Not water weight.
It's 3 lbs, or 1.4kg. You can easily hold 3-4kg of water weight from glycogen stores alone.
The amount of water your body stores is influenced by multiple factors including your sodium levels, the amount of water you drink, your diet, your glycogen and muscle usage, carb intake, and more.

I've been in ketosis for over a month, basically on a water fast (drinking 4+liters of water a day and going to the bathroom like every hour), and the general practitioner said I'm slightly deficient in sodium because I use so relatively little and drink so much water consistently.
How do you explain away that, "doctor" (((Fauci)))?

respond to the bread or I will stop being so nice
