Two weeks into a high-carb cutting experiment.
Week 1: scale jumped up 5 lbs.
Week 2: scale dropped 7 lbs.
Calories stayed controlled. Protein stayed high.
The “gain” was glycogen + water, not fat. Once storage stabilized, fat loss showed up fast.
Energy is better. Hunger is lower. Training output is higher.
This is why you don’t panic over short-term scale changes.
