I’ve been plateaued for around three months now, but about two weeks ago I believe I experienced the “woosh” that’s often spoken about. My woosh was about 12lb over four days, and it went like day one -6lb, day two -3, day three -2lb and day four -1lb and it mostly occurred (or was noticeable) overnight. That was 10 days ago and I’m down another (almost) 2lb since.
So, my question is;
Can anyone shed any light on what exactly is a woosh and what’s happening during it? Why did it occur and maybe what triggered it? Also, where did the weight go? I don’t recall dumping more than usual. I did get a couple of funny restless nights where my legs sweated profusely, but were cold. Broken down fat is substantially exhaled as CO2, but 12lbs of it over four days seems a bit much.
Any ideas/science to explain a woosh? Is a woosh really a thing? Thanks!
