Weight Fluctuations

-

Don't get too excited or freaked out if our weight fluctuates.
Weight fluctuation is normal if it's still within the range 0.5 - 1 kg in a day or two.

What cause weight fluctuation ?
It's due to our activity, food we eat, water, muscle gains etc.
For eg after we eat our meal, our weight will increase about 0.5 kg or after we exercise our weight will increase too due to muscle gains.
On the opposite, if we skip meals, our weight will decrease temporary too.

What weight fluctuation that we should worry or excited about ?
If our weight increased or decreased 1kg or more steadily for period of 5 days or more after we return to our healthy lifestyle habit then we can start worry or excited.

When we should measure our weight ?
There's no basic rules to when, but the advised timing is in the morning after waking up and after going to bathroom in a naked body.
When we measure our weight progress, make sure that we use the same weight scale and in the same timing for eg morning. These to make our weight comparison is more reliable.

I did a little bit experiments regarding weight fluctuations.
I measured the weight based on different timing within 24 hours and this is the result.

Morning after waking up : 48.1 kg
Morning after having breakfast : 48.5 kg
Night before sleeping : 49.2 kg
The next morning after waking up : 48.2 kg

It shows that our body burn calories too while we are sleeping.
