After Christmas, after Easter or in general after at least two or three days of continuous binges, it is better not to weigh yourself immediately. Because? Because it is true that there is weight gain, but this weight does not mean that we are gaining weight.

If you want to know exactly when you need to start weighing yourself again to understand if you have gained weight or not and if you need to go on a diet, I offer you a very easy scheme to follow.

It is a method consistent with the recommendations of dieticians and motivated by brief explanations that will help you understand how much to lose weight if you have eaten too much.

WHY SHOULD YOU NEVER WEIGH AFTER EATING TOO MUCH?

To our normal weight is added all the weight of the food ingested, which cannot be lost the next day (unless you have colic, but even there, afterwards a strong water retention occurs). All the water we have retained by eating too much, and especially by eating foods rich in salt and sugar. All the water to digest what I ate. The overload of food that is still present in the intestine.

And this after just one meal! We usually eat between 2 and 3 kilos of food every day. Therefore it is normal that if the quantity of food ingested increases, the weight also increases.
