how long does your body take to gain fat?
sometimes when i pig out for a day or 2 the scales will say im upto maybe 5 lbs heavier, but then afew days back into healthy diet i'm back down... surely my body isn't changing so fast back and forth? what's the deal? is this just water weight? Or is my body just good at burning it off...

- i don't know how i can say this nicely.... first off don't look at the scales everday. second off don't you think you could be crapping it out...
- Mostly, it's probably just the weight of the food. It takes 24-72 hours for your body to digest what you eat. You can also retain water to digest the food, especially if you ate very salty food. It would be really really hard to gain 5 lbs of fat in a day or two. You would have to eat an excess of 7,000 calories!
