It can really screw with your mind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to note is that a little weight fluctuation on a day-to-day basis is pretty normal, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/decletdesigns.com\/courtney-vickery-dietitian-designer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Courtney Vickery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, R.D., a registered dietitian who specializes in weight inclusivity and eating disorders. In fact, for most adults, it\u2019s considered normal to see weight fluctuations of two to four pounds from day to day. \u201cSome people might even experience up to five- to six-pound fluctuations and still be within a normal range,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A number of factors can contribute to these ups and downs\u2014and while many of them are nothing to worry about, some might warrant further investigation. Here are six common reasons why your weight might bounce around, plus how to tell when you should actually be concerned.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em style=\"font-family: 'Josefin Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\"><strong>ABOUT OUR EXPERTS<\/strong><\/em>: <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/decletdesigns.com\/courtney-vickery-dietitian-designer\/\">Courtney Vickery<\/a>, R.D., is a registered dietitian specializing in weight inclusivity and eating disorders. Jenna Volpe, R.D.N., L.D., C.L.T., is a functional dietitian. <a href=\"https:\/\/naturopathic.org\/members\/?id=60515163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiera Lane<\/a>, N.M.D., MSAc, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., is a naturopathic doctor and the director of Arizona Natural Medicine. <a href=\"https:\/\/drseltzerlifestylemedicine.com\/meet-the-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlie Seltzer,<\/a> M.D., C.S.C.S., is a doctor of obesity and internal medicine.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>1. You\u2019re retaining fluids<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human body is made up of about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgs.gov\/special-topics\/water-science-school\/science\/water-you-water-and-human-body#:~:text=Up%20to%2060%25%20of%20the,bones%20are%20watery%3A%2031%25.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 percent water.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Given that, it makes sense that changes in your hydration levels can directly impact how much you weigh. \u201cWhen we eat foods high in sodium, our body retains more water to maintain the right balance of electrolytes, which can cause a temporary increase in weight,\u201d notes Vickery. That&#8217;s right, going in on movie theater popcorn can drive your sodium intake up enough to move the needle on the scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn the flip side, if we\u2019re dehydrated from not drinking enough water or are sweating a lot, we might see a temporary decrease in weight,\u201d Vickery adds. Luckily, these types of fluctuations are usually short-lived and your body returns to its usual weight as fluid levels balance out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/supplements-for-bloating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Best Supplements To Try If You&#8217;re Prone To Bloating<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. You\u2019re constipated\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, when food waste builds up in our gut without getting eliminated, the number on the scale goes up. As with fluid retention, this is not the same thing as losing or gaining body fat. \u201cWhen somebody is constipated or not moving their bowels regularly, it can lead to abdominal bloating or distention and a false feeling of weight gain based on the number on the scale,\u201d says functional dietitian Jenna Volpe, R.D.N., L.D., C.L.T. \u201cSomebody who is struggling with looser, more frequent bowel movements, however, could be in a state of dehydration and potentially appear to have lost weight quickly.&#8221; Your weight will eventually find its sweet spot as your bathroom habits do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. You\u2019re yo-yo dieting<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re someone who goes on and off diets regularly, you\u2019ll be more prone to extreme weight fluctuations. Unfortunately, erratic eating can have an impact on certain metabolic processes, such as insulin\u2019s ability to move glucose (blood sugar) into the cells where it is metabolized into energy, explains Volpe. \u201cPeople with a tendency to restrict and then overeat may also be more subject to fluid retention from blood sugar imbalances, since sugar holds onto water (like sodium) in the body,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. You\u2019re experiencing hormonal changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, appetite, and how the body stores fat and fluids, all of which can affect changes in your weight. For example, cortisol, the stress hormone, can lead to weight gain by increasing appetite and promoting fat storage, especially around the abdomen, explains <a href=\"https:\/\/naturopathic.org\/members\/?id=60515163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiera Lane<\/a>, N.M.D., MSAc, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., a naturopathic doctor and the director of Arizona Natural Medicine. \u201cInsulin, which helps regulate blood sugar, can also cause weight changes if the body becomes resistant to it, as seen in conditions like type 2 diabetes,\u201d she adds. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other hormones, like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/patients\/brochures\/Thyroid_and_Weight.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thyroid hormones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which control metabolism, can lead to weight gain or loss if they become overactive or underactive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/perimenopause\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What To Expect During Perimenopause<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That said, some hormonal changes that contribute to weight fluctuations are completely healthy and normal. &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In women, hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause often lead to water retention and temporary weight gain,\u201d Lane says. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. You\u2019re taking certain medications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications like corticosteroids, which are often used for inflammation, can make you hungrier and cause your body to hold onto water, leading to weight gain, according to Lane. Antidepressants\u2014particularly certain SSRIs\u2014too, can affect mood-regulating hormones and appetite, causing some people to gain or lose weight, she adds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, \u201cdiabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas may promote fat storage and weight gain, while medications that influence thyroid function can directly impact metabolic rate, causing either weight gain or loss,\u201d she explains. \u201cMany medications influence changes in weight, so check with your doctor to determine if a medication you&#8217;re on might be impacting your weight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. You\u2019re Not Balancing Carbs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our bodies store carbohydrates as glycogen in our muscles and liver. The thing about glycogen, though, is that it holds onto water, explains Vickery. So, when we eat a lot of carbs, our glycogen stores increase and we hold onto more water, which can cause our weight to creep up a bit. On the other hand, if we slash carb intake (like on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/make-low-carb-diet-sustainable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-carb diet<\/a>), we might see a quick drop in weight as our body uses up our glycogen stores and releases the water that accompanies them, she says. \u201cThis is why people often see rapid weight loss at the beginning of low-carb diets; much of this initial loss is just water weight,\u201d she notes. Again, this is not the same thing as losing or gaining body fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>When to seek a healthcare professional for weight fluctuations\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though many of the above factors can influence weight without reflecting bigger health changes or concerns,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you know your body best. If you feel suspicious about sudden weight loss or gain, it\u2019s always a good idea to consult a doctor, especially if that weight loss or gain correlated with unusual symptoms like notable swelling or shortness of breath, notes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drseltzerlifestylemedicine.com\/meet-the-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlie Seltzer,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> M.D., C.S.C.S., a doctor of obesity and internal medicines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/leptin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leptin\u2014The Weight Management Hormone You Should Know About<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve noticed a significant change in your weight, even without changing your diet or exercise routine, it&#8217;s important get a professional opinion. Other concerning symptoms to look out for include fatigue, weakness, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, and hormonal symptoms like mood shifts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While weight fluctuations are normal\u2014especially for women\u2014a combination of up-and-down weight with other symptoms might indicate underlying health issues, notes Seltzer. If you&#8217;re worried about your weight or anything else you&#8217;re experiencing, there&#8217;s certainly no harm in consulting with a pro.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weight fluctuations can be incredibly frustrating\u2014and confusing.
