Understanding Daily Weight Swings: A Nutritionist Explains 5 Key Factors
A recent video by nutritionist 'blancanutri' sheds light on a common phenomenon: daily weight fluctuations that are unrelated to fat gain. The expert outlines five primary reasons why an individual's weight can vary by up to two kilograms from one day to the next.According to the nutritionist, a diet high in sugars and ultra-processed foods can lead to increased fluid retention, causing temporary weight gain. Constipation is another significant factor, as infrequent bowel movements can result in bloating and a higher number on the scale.For those embarking on a new exercise regimen, particularly sedentary individuals, initial weight increases are common. This is attributed to metabolic changes and muscle adaptation, which can cause temporary fluid retention in the muscles. Similarly, engaging in high-intensity exercise can lead to temporary muscular inflammation and water retention, also resulting in short-term weight variations.Finally, the menstrual cycle is identified as a key factor for women. Hormonal changes during this period can cause significant fluid retention, leading to weight fluctuations of 1.5 to 2 kilograms, which typically normalize after the cycle concludes. The nutritionist emphasizes that these variations are normal and do not reflect actual changes in body fat.
