After 4 days of working out, and eating less, I should theoretically have lost a couple pounds, but I am still at the same. Sodium intake too high causing water retention?

    A couple of pounds in 4 days is pretty hard to achieve, no? I think the recommended weight loss in 1 pound per week, and try to only weigh yourself once a week. You still have 3 more days left, a lot can happen.

    For sure, salt intake can really affect the scales. Keep at it!

    That's the worse when that happens but don't let it sidetrack you. Keep it up and only weigh once a week.

    You also have to remember that your body is trying to figure out what you are doing to it. It can be a shock to it when we start demanding it to workout and do it with less food. It took me about a week and a half to see the scale move. Just keep up your workouts and eating schedule - It will move.

    i tried looking at your documented diet and couldnt find it.. how much sodium a day are you taking in?? and are you drinking enough water? i drink a gallon a day with green tea and lemon in it..make it every morning like clockwork and try like heck to drink it throughout the day. some folks disagree with me but i try to steer clear of processed foods . they are loaded with all kinds of goodies not healthy for us ..like sodium for instance.. i try hard to stick to 1,000-`1500mg sodium a day. i read every label in regard to sodium too.. you wil be amazed how much is in things.. stay away from canned vegetables and beans too.....loaded with sodium

    4 days? That's not long enough to judge anything.
