Some good info. in this recent podcast with Paul Mason.
I've seen similar strange weight jumps with my sister when I was helping her with her nutrition regimen, she was on work trips, hours on a plane, sitting in a car or an office chair, and different foods and sleep schedule.Could be. But it is outside my regulars weight fluctuations. I’m sure it is partially to blame
Yeah, and halving daily step averages for a week and a half seems to correlate strongly to NEAT levels. It is weird how much it effects your overall well being. Fabio's article a while back about this was kind of what got me moving more and using my step count as an indicator of it.I've seen similar strange weight jumps with my sister when I was helping her with her nutrition regimen, she was on work trips, hours on a plane, sitting in a car or an office chair, and different foods and sleep schedule.
I’d put daily step count in the “non exercise activity” category. NEAT is very correlated with bodyweight.Exercise in general does little for weight loss

You have to remember that the vast majority of “O” in CICO is made up of non exercise activity.

4) A dramatic increase in body weight is often due to a dramatic increase in carbohydrates which produce an increase in water weight.
Water weight.
I had a client on a keto type program with a couple of low cal. ( 600 cal ) non consecutive days added in each week. She had a birthday. She likes Rueben sandwiches. Birthday dinner was 1/2 of a Rueben, glass of red, might have been a piece of choc. cake in there, I don't remember. I get a freak out email the next morning , all caps, I GAINED 5 POUNDS !! I email back, Relax, not possible, drink some water, go for a walk.NEAT
I am familiar with NEAT and that it has an effects on body weight and health.
The Math Doesn't Add Up
If the 6 pound of weight gained was body fat, that would take a calorie surplus of around 21.000 calories (1 lb of fat = 3500 calorie X 6 lbs).
6 lb Gain In Week and A Half
Based you posted information, it appears (hard to tell) that the weight gain occured in a week and a half (about 12 days). That averages out to be a weight gain of approximately half a pound a day.
That would mean you were burning 1750 fewer calories a day since you cut back on your steps!
Buring 1750 calories a day isn't likely. Something is wrong with this picture.
Water Weight Gain
This is a more reasonable explaination, as I mentioned in my previous post...
Don Fairbanks also stated...
If I'm settled into keto and have a big carb weekend - not just a meal, but beer, pizza, hamburgers etc the whole weekend - I can easily put on 4kg (nearly 9 pounds). It will be gone by the next weekend, provided I go back into ketosis, so it's water weight but it's still a hell of a shockI had a client on a keto type program with a couple of low cal.

Less so if you look at the details.Something is wrong with this picture.
And I also stated that it was most likely partially due to water weight.Don Fairbanks also stated...

With the logic above we have bridged the gap of "this is false because 100% of weight gain wasn't fat" to "What I know to be true about NEAT remains true because some of the weight gain was fat." So there is no longer a cognitive dissonance of two competing ideas that contradict each other. Since we know NEAT effects bodyweight, that activity burns calories, and weight gain is caused by excess calories, now all of that remains true with this model.NEAT
