Has anyone put on a few kilos after weighing in despite being on a calorie deficit and realised it's probably water retention from carbs plus sodium? If so, have those people weighed back on a few days later after eliminating the sodium and found they had weight loss again???

yes and yes, happens all the time if i don't watch my water intake, too little and it doesn't flush the sodium, I've had 3-4 pound swings over a few days0

Yes. I have. I usually have a cheat day on Saturdays. While I don't go crazy overboard, the foods I tend to eat contain a lot of sodium, and this will make you retain for a day, two, possibly 3. This just happened to me over this past weekend. As of this morning, I dropped 3.5lbs. As long as you don't have a high sodium intake throughout the week, you will lose again. I'm just realizing now how stubborn sodium can be, so I'm trying to keep it at a minimum in my normal routine!0
