So I started doing IF 16:8 on 08/24/22. I know it's only been 3 wks but I started with SW 219lbs and CW is 215 lbs in the evening and 211.8lbs in the morning. I'm confused if this has ever happened to anyone who has done IF before. Does the weight fluctuate in the evening and morning like this ? Also which one to take seriously ?
Thanks in advance !
Btw, this group has encouraged me to start IF and I know it has only been 3 weeks but I feel much better. I have better energy, and better focus at work.
You guys are awesome !!
Answer
Yes it does fluctuate depending on your water intake (and when you go to pee). Weigh yourself at a consistent time. I usually do it in the morning after I’ve gone to the toilet.
Also try not to weigh yourself every day, as weight will fluctaute and may put you off. The number on the scale doesn’t always tell the full story. You may still be losing layers of fat but gaining a little muscle and hence weight may not go down on the daily. Weigh yourself weekly instead.
All the best!
