Stats: Net carbs have been under 20 for the past week, protein at 84 grams, calories at 1523. Water averaged 82 ounces/day. Gave up cheese for the week.
Any ideas? Why doesn't overnight fluid retention go away just as quickly?

Mine doesn't usually come off quickly, it usually takes several days or as much as a week.
I really don't have much in the way of suggestions except that it might have to do with your salt and/or potassium levels. Maybe cut down a bit on the water and increase foods with potassium and salt.
I'm 67 and I admit the body doesn't work as well as it used to!  |
