Weight loss from stress

[livindagym]

Does weight loss from stress come back fast? Like similar to being sick and losing weight? Ive lost 4 lbs this week. Look like ive lost more than that. I feel puny as heck. Just been a very stressful week. Extreme lack of sleep. Forcing myself to hit my macros. But still lost 4 lbs. been in a lean bulk so those 4 pounds did not come fast in the first place

50-60% of your body is water, you can absolutely "look" smaller just by losing water weight. The muscles become "flat" in a sense, and you can look smaller, your clothes may fit more loosely, etc.

You're lucky it's only been one week. Although your stress sounds self-induced.

No chance that has happened to you in 1 week unless you have been bed-bound the entire time.
