in Health and Weight Loss
Maybe someone can enlighten me. Last week I cycled my heart out and lost about a pound in a week, which is what i expected. Then I went to festival and the diet slipped away, consuming a lot of wine and few to many hog roasts. I weighed myself after the weekend and put on 4lbs IN 3 DAYS!! Now after another three days without any exercise I have the lost the 4lbs plus an extra 2.... I'm confused, was it just water retention??

    I would wager to say you consumed a lot of salt.
