Your talking about fluctuations in water retention. To lose 3 pounds of fat requires a calories deficit of 10,500. So even fasting you would have to do enough exercise to burn around 4,000 extra calories each day to do it in 2 days. A marathon burns less than 3,000 calories.
What your weight is on a given day is really only useful in the context of several days to see the trend of highs and lows going up, down or staying about the same.
Went to the gym this morning and didn't weigh first. Only did about an hour at the gym, but nearly all cardio.
Avoided sugar and did low carbs again yesterday. I got to have an apple today - the re-introduction of sugar.
