Gained 5lbs after I checked my weight tonight after a 2 week vacation at DC. Now im planning to take an aggressive calori deficit for the next 2 days like take a 1000 calofie deficit. Would that be bad? I just wanna lose this 5lbs that I gained quickly and I know those 5lbs hs water weight in it as well but still wanna do an aggressive calorie deficit cause I basically stopped my cut for 2 weeks cause of my vacation. Any tips/suggestion would be appreciated

    Don't do it. A 1000-calorie deficit is not an appropriate way to deal with a 5-lb gain, most of which is water.

    You don't even know if it's a true gain yet, and why are you punishing yourself for enjoying vacation?

    I recommend eating at maintenance or your usual deficit for one week, weighing every day, and reassessing at the end.
