When they say it's just water weight gain...
So what's the difference between water weight and real weight gain. In 1 month, I've put on 5 kg (11 lbs) So everyone will say it's impossible to be putting on THAT much weight, and most of it is water weight. I'm quite confused, because water weight is STILL weight right? What's the difference between this and real weight…

Tips!
Ok. So if you are trying to gain weight you *could* go for the "just eat a bunch of junk food all the time" route, but that is very unhealthy (obviously) and has 0 benefits.
