I was kidding about the 15 lbs…. Probably closer to 7…..[/quote]
If you’re talking about the difference that eating and “releasing” makes, I think it’s closer to 2-3 lbs.
I’ve tracked by weight carefully, and that’s the biggest difference I’ve seen. My lowest reading is first thing in the AM, after I’ve visited the bathroom but before I eat.
My weight can be 2-3 lbs higher at other points in the day.
When I got down to 158 lbs, my wife said I looked like I had cancer. I think my ideal weight for my frame is probably around 175 lbs. Unfortunately I’m about 10 lbs over that right now. Damn pandemic.
The heaviest I ever weighed was 199 lbs a few years back. That convinced me to revisit my intake…I never want to be 200 lbs or greater. Ever.
