I've just learned to accept it. You're always going to have normal daily fluctuations. Drink lot's of water and limit your processed foods, as that will help.

Same. I sometimes indulge in a few oz of pork rinds on weekends and can easily gain up to 10lbs of water retention by Monday. Usually flushes away by mid week.

^This. Water weight fluctuations are a very frequent component of the weight loss process.

If you work with weights, your muscles will get tiny tears and will hold water while they repair. Fat cells hold fluid as they lose fat before letting that fluid go eventually. It's all cyclical. The scale always goes up for me after resistance training and before a weight drop. I've learned to live with it.

It is not water weight that you want to lose but fat weight. Eat in a calorie deficit, add a little exercise. Like Lis says above drink water and limit the processed foods because they usually have lots of sodium.

Consume less sodium. It's recommended that a healthy adult not consume more than 2300mg sodium per day. Drink 8 or more glasses of water a day.

I'd rather not fluctuate, but you look at trends. If you plot your weight you cna see a trend and get reassurance of the general way your weight is going. Its natural, so just chill and keep on doing the right things. Looking after the basics, tight logging, keep exercising etc so you know you are in deficit and it will settle down eventually.

Salt makes a big difference for me.

Water weight is actually a 'good' thing - sure it messes up the scale a bit but it's an indicator of higher muscle mass (muscle holds more water than fat). Personally I only weigh myself every 2 weeks and use a scale that measures body fat and muscle %

Have less salts, like way less. Salt keeps fat in your body, also sugars. Try to not have any sweets or anything white. Sugar will tell your body not to burn any fat. Especially at night. Also have lots of water and do 45 min of cardio daily.

Logic behind this statement?

How on earth can salt keep fat in your body?

Sodium does increase water retention, but not fat retention. When you eat high sodium foods your body protects your kidneys by retaining water to help dilute the sodium.
