Hi all, I am on a diet and fitness programme as I hit my highest weight ever a month ago. Results were slow at first but since I’ve started intense and challenging weights training the weight has come off remarkably fast. In fact after the first session I lost 1.2kg in a single day and kept it off and after the second session I lost 1.7kg a day later and also kept it off. I’ve always had daily fluctuations but never so substantial and within 24hrs and it staying off- what is the mechanism whereby weights training is causing fat (or water?) loss so suddenly and it staying off- could someone explain?

hi Claire. Weight training is essential because it builds lean muscle tissue. Lean muscle tissue demands a lot more energy than fatty tissue, which raises your metabolism and in turn burns away bodyfat.
High fluctuations like that are just water weight, as you can not gain/lose fat/muscle mass that quickly. Forget about weight, its just a number which will fluctuate. Concentrate on adding lean muscle mass with weight training, help the process with cardio exercise, and eat healthy 6-7 times a day. The goal is to keep your metabolism as high as possible throughout the whole day. High metabolism will burn fat. Drink tons of water (1.5 gallons+ daily), it will aid in fat loss.
Using weights builds muscle. 1lb of muscle burns 14 cals/day where are 1lb fat burns 2 cals /day. So by training and eating correctly you’re turning your body into a fat burning machine rather than a fat storing machine.
As you get things working correctly your body loves it, so reacts. Drinking water helps you alot too
