I'm going to try to explain why your weight can and will fluctuate. I know many already know this, but judging by the number of people completely frustrated because they gained a pound or two, it seems that many do not. Before I start, I am not attacking your diet. Some people need to go low carb to finally be in a consistent calorie deficit which is what is needed for consistent fat loss. Anyway, 1 gram of carbohydrate causes one to gain 4 grams of water. So if you go from 20 carbs a day to 500(which is not difficult since I averaged about 320 grams per day last month on a 2500 calorie average diet.) 500 carbs would not be hard to attain on a cheat day. That is a gain of 1920(480*4) grams of water. There are 453 grams of water in a pound. So 1920 grams would equal 4.23 pounds on the scale. Add in a high amount of sodium which is usually the case during a cheat day and that can add another 3-5 pounds of water retention. So that is a combined 7-9 pounds on the scale not counting the extra food in your system.

People are impatient, especially when dieting. So it's easy to see why low carb dieters swear by this method. For that same reason "clean" eaters also have the same reaction since "clean" eating usually means a much lower sodium intake. It produces quick results on the scale at first and that change goes both ways. When you do it you see a quick loss and when you go off the diet you see a quick gain so you immediately call carbs evil. Again, don't attack me because you think I am being down on LC dieting. I am simply explaining why it seems people are duped into believing the charlatans like Taubes and Fung.
