massage's effect on weight?

20carrots

I kept to my cals yesterday, didn't exercise but got a little bit of walking in. I got a massage late in the evening...wake up today and I am "up" TWO POUNDS?!?! Could this be at all related to the massage? What a terrible start to the day. :sad:

Never heard of a massage impacting on weight loss. It's just water retention - weight fluctuates a lot

2 lbs of fat is 7000 kcal. Unless you ate 7000 kcal over your daily, it's just water.

It could.. I mean massage, is basically like a workout from what I've been told.. and if you don't drink enough water after, you'll prob. retain some.

Honestly though, it's two pounds and will prob. be gone tomorrow.. so cut the drama and go drink some water.

No. Massage is actually a passive form of exercise and can actually help to flush some of the toxins your body is producing by burning fat.

Are you tracking your daily sodium intake with your diary? A couple of days of exceeding your daily intake limit is all it takes to retain water.

i am a trained beautician and massage can help with toning and flush the toxins out. It is probably water weight xxxxxx
