Weight questions ... off the wall really ...

[Guest guest]

Greetings Dobby, Debbie, and all,

 

The fastest way to add body weight is to drink and/or to eat. Similarly, the

fastest ways to release body weight are to poop and to pee. For most of us,

our body weight does indeed fluctuate somewhat throughout the day in

response to these " factors " .

 

Overnight, you are correct Debbie, your system is indeed burning fuel,

carrying out various metabolic activities, evaporating off water, etc.

Therefore, it is quite natural to release a bit of body weight while

sleeping.

 

All these things having been said, the range (amplitude) of these ups and

downs tends to diminish considerably as we become healthier and cleaner.

Why? We require somewhat less fuel and therefore eat a bit less, we

metabolize more efficiently, we product waste byproducts more efficiently,

etc.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

Hi

 

It's not just you!

 

I love this forum - it's the kind where people ask questions that you

always wanted to know the answer to!

 

My weight has usually been 1-2 lbs less in the morning, and that's

before going to the loo!

 

Having given this a bit of thought...we're actually having a long

period without food, perhaps nothing for 12 hours? And, while we're

asleep, we're still burning calories (just normal body function,

tossing and turning, perhaps sweating, 'other activities'...)

 

How about that for a hypothesis? I look forward to the contributions

of those more qualified.

 

Love

doing a little research) and I know when I weigh myself in the

morning it will be lower again.
