step on the scale. Shockingly, the number is up. Not by a ton, but it's definitely a few pounds higher than it was yesterday (or the day before). You've been exercising regularly and eating well — so what's up?
Your water weight. When you gain a pound or two in just a few days, water is almost always the culprit. Fat takes more time to accumulate, so it isn't really possible for you to gain weight from fat in a matter of a day or two, says Sylvia Tara, Ph.D., author of The Secret Life of Fat.
Plus, glycogen, which is the stored form of glucose that our bodies turn to for energy, holds much more water than fat does because of its biochemical makeup, Dr. Tara says. Stored in the liver and muscle cells, glycogen is hydrated with three to four parts of water. So when you lose weight quickly, you're depleting those glycogen stores, which tells the liver and muscles to hold onto any bit of glucose — and its accompanying water — that you take in when you eat. If you step on the scale at some point during this process, then it's likely that the number will be higher.
If you're looking to skip out on the water weight, there are a few tricks you can try. These are the ones Dr. Tara says work best for seeing less fluctuation on the scale.
Cut Down Sodium Intake
While salt might be a great way to add flavor to foods, it doesn’t do your body much good.
Salt causes your body to hold on to more water which gives you a bloated look.
If you think you might have consumed too much salt just sweat it out with some exercise or sit in a steam room for 15 minutes.
Alternatively, you can drink tons of water to flush out the salt which works well with tip # 1.
How to Lose 3KG of Water Weight in 2 days and Look Ripped
Have you ever wanted to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time?
Ok chances are all of you have.
While losing 7 pounds of bodyfat in 2 days is impossible, you can lose water weight which will leave you looking more shredded even if the effect is temporary.
Check out our tips below for losing some quick water weight for that upcoming vacation / trip to the beach / wedding.
Drinks tons of water
Ok so this might seem a bit counter-intuitive but hear us out.
By drinking tons of water your body will actually carry around less water.
You see, when your body isn’t getting enough water it starts panicking and holding on to whatever water it does have.
As a result, your body starts to pack on the water weight.
However, once you start drinking tons of water, your body will start getting rid of all the extra water it doesn’t need.
It stores very little water because it knows that plenty more will be coming.
As a result, you actually end up losing water weight and get a flatter stomach!
Reduce Carb Intake
Most people don’t know that every carb your body stores has water in it.
Therefore, if you want to lose some water weight simply reduce your carb intake.
As for the carbs that are already stored, when you do some exercise to burn them off you will also burn off the water that is stored within them.
Take a Fat Burner
Why a fat burner?
Well, fat burners are designed to reduce water retention, increase your metabolism and eliminate hunger cravings.
So by taking a fat burner you will lose excess water weight and look more ripped in the process.
Just imagine how much excess water is in your stomach area and how fat it makes you look
If you could get rid of most of that water in your stomach area, wouldn’t you look more cut?
You might even be cut but you are holding too much water for your abs to show.
Even though this is a short term solution fat burners will also help with long term fat loss.
