I have a secret

Ready?

I can gain 8-10 pounds.

OVERNIGHT


There. I said it. Gosh it feels good to get that out.

It took me a long time to figure out exactly what it is, that makes me hold onto water like that. And I say water, because it just is not possible to gain 10 pounds of fat overnight. My body may be exceptionally good at storing fat.... but an overnighter? Thinking about it scientifically..... wouldn't that be equal to an excess of 30,000 calories the night before?

No..... it's definitely water/fluid. AND..... I can dump it before I hit the scale again in 5 days.

Wanna know what it is, that I eat, that turns my body into an instant sponge?

WHEAT.

Not necessarily 'gluten'.... I can eat homemade rye bread made sans any sort of wheat, and have NO GAIN whatsoever.

My issue is specifically wheat.

You know what packaged food products wheat is in? Yeah..... just about all of them.

TWIZZLERS have wheat....... how fair is that?

Stupid wheat.
