Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut

Sure in a perfect world we would all ignore the scale. But given that I know there are countless people who are not ignoring the scale, I wanted to she's light on the reasons why these small gains are happening. Maybe once those who are maintaining using scale values to gauge their success feel confident that their weight is indeed stable, then they will feel more comfortable with the knowledge that they've found the correct caloric intake for them.
So where does the 5lb figure come from? Thin air? Esp for people who already have unrealistic goal weights, now you're telling them to cut even further so they can maintain their goal weight after moving to maintenance. Just going to create a whole mess of neurotic idiots focused on scale weight. ZOMG i'm up 5.3lbs, that must mean I gained .3lbs of fat, better cut cals and take it off!
this lol, the scale is not the way...0 -

Big appetite, likes to eat sweets and oil for frying food, alcohol, age, metabolism slows down growth were easy to obesity. As relieve mental stress to eating as mental stress, worry and other means to get those same psychological balance can cause obesity. Social prejudices and conventional wisdom is that obesity is a "Lovely", "lucky", so that overeating can also promote their obesity. Suddenly stopped and chronic physical exercise can also cause long-term bedridden after obesity.0

This is very interesting. I like the follow up link by OP so that critics can go get a second/third source of information.
I'm glad to have this as a reminder for when I reach my goal.
Thanks OP!0 -
thanks OP.
It is interesting.
I do however wonder where the 5 pound number comes from? I'm pretty sure - working in health - the liver could not stock 5 pds of glycogen. Just curious where this number comes from.0 -

It's not 5 lbs for everyone. It could be 2 lbs for a very small woman... it could be 8 lbs for a large man who lifts. Each person has to play with their goal weight to find where they settle in once they increase calories. It's more about knowing there WILL be a rebound of some glycogen & water weight. How much will definitely depend on the person. My point is that cutting to exactly your goal weight and then going directly to maintenance doesn't usually allow you to stay at that bottomed out weight.0 -
This is very helpful and something I have been struggling with lately.0
