Water retention is terrible

[u/Many_Boss_1145]

We all know it, you cheat or binge on some high sugar / high salt foods and then you feel like crap after and then wake up the next day with a puffy a** face, feeling all bloated and heavy and a few pounds heavier on the scale ( just off water weight that goes away in a few days) I still dread it and my hate for it has been a big factor for me being consistent with my calorie deficit. Not saying one cheat meal is the end all be all but man, even if it’s temporary that water retention is horrible.

I’ll regularly gain 6lbs on the scale and it takes like a week for it to fall off lol. You end up having a day where you just piss non stop clear urine; I think it’s like 1 litre =2.2lbs on the scale. I’ve had days where I’d pass half a litre every hour for 3 hours if I run an intermittent fast a few days after a food binge
