Water Retention

[BrianRobins]

I think this is really weird. If I drink any kind of soda at all on a given day I weigh several pounds heavier the next day even if I eat the same number of calories I normally eat. Does anyone else have this problem? An example yesterday I weighed 252, today I weigh 256 even though I only ate 2100 calories yesterday. Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it as simple as don't drink soda and drink x amount of water per day.

Amen brother.

If i drink soda, i bloat up. it's not unusual for me to gain a few pounds when i do. I try to limit sodas to special occasions, and drink quite a bit of water afterwards and the upcoming days to flush it out..

I even get the water retention with diet soda's so i limit to a few cans a week.

if its diet soda it could be the aspartame causing you to hold more water. it has the opposite affect of a diuretic. Its not actual weight gain, so its nothing you need to worry about. With that being said, cutting soda can only have positives to your weight loss.
