Hi, I plateaued for about a week and then in the last 3 days dropped 1.4 kg, I was sceptical yesterday so I waited another day and was still the same weight thismorning? The only thing I have changed is my water consumption which I have doubled over the last 5 days to about 3 litres a days... Can anyone explain?

Your body was hanging on to water because you weren't giving it enough. The moment you started drinking plenty, it dropped what it didn't need.0

It's water weight---you upped your water and your body was able to flush your system.0

Same things happened to me - I was at a plateau for 16 days then dropped 2 pounds - thought it was a fluke but weighed myself again this morning and I was the same! Sorry can't help explain it but the same thing happened to me and I will take it :-)0
