Water Weight Gain Question For The Ladies

Do you find that you still gain some water weight around your TOM or does that not happen to you on keto? I typically put on 2-4 pounds of water weight around that time, but wondering if it will happen this month too.

    I'm not a lady - so I hope you don't mind me commenting ...

    FYI the water lost during ketosis is due to depletion of glycogen stores (which is stored as 3-4 parts water, FYI.)

    As such, I'm sorry to say but it's quite normal for menstruating women to still have weight gain during that TOM.

    Lady or educated man, either works :)
