Pizza, water weight gain??????

  • Hey everyone ! How was everyones xmas and new years? Mine was boring but good ( I had a week off). I Had a quick ? about pizza. I have lost really good, I lost 3 pounds over xmas and I lost 4 last week . I did not cheat at all!! However on new years day we had pizza and I had nothing to eat all day but oatmeal(we went shopping) and I was really hungry so I had 4 pieces of pizza . I just counted them as 2 proteins In the CC. Then on monday I gaines 1.5 ponds. Is that water weight and how soon will it go away??? I start TO monday because of it and today Im down .5. Its so frustrating. No pizza ever again or at least not 4 pieces. Thanks for any answers!!!
  • Pizza kills me with my weight. If I have any, I try to do it for lunch after WI so that I have 2 days to get rid of it before I WI again...and that's only one slice with the gold plan! Drink some lemon water and LOTS of water. You should be back to normal by tomorrow, I would think.
  • i think most of the carb cravers are higher in sodium then regular food. I am sure that it is water weight and if you drink extra water and through in a glass or two of lemon water it should be gone within 2 days.

    I have been told to do carb cravers and dine out on the same day because you will have way too much sodium also...just FYI
  • thanks for the info. I will drink lots of water again today. I did the day of and yesterday. The TO doesnt seem to do anything for me anymore. I lose the same if I were eating OP.
  • Many of the CC meals cause water retention. I always insist my clients drink 10-12 glasses of water on any day they have a CC meal. Then, try not to have beef or pork or anything else with lots of sodium for the next 24 hours. Believe it or not, it also helps to follow a CC meal with a fresh, green salad. The raw vegetables help relieve the affects of high sodium. This works as a follow up to frozen meals as well.
  • thanks for the salad suggestion, i will try to remember that one
