I'm on Atkins, went to a buffet last night and gained a pound?

Yesterday morning I was 172 lbs, and after I got home from the buffet I was 176.5 lbs. This morning I weighed in at 173. I didn't eat until I was stuffed, but I'm guessing it was still a lot of food. I've been under-eating lately anyway because Atkins decreased my appetite and sometimes I forget to eat.

Oh, and I only ate meat, fish, salad, and sashimi. I'm still in ketosis, so is that one pound just weight from the food that will go away when I excrete it?

Also, how many pounds do you think that undigested food/ poop weighs in your body at any given time?

gaining a pound doesn't really imply anything. maybe it was water weight - maybe you had a lot of salt and are retaining fluid - maybe you're on your period. don't worry about it. it will probably go away once you poo, yes. your body will find it's way.

As they say, shit happens, get your self back on track and get on with your life. The world will not end because you gained a lb. You will always have at least 5 lbs. of crap inside your body somewhere that just will not come out.
