Dat kan maar dat effect zal je eerder bij mannen dan bij vrouwen zien en met hun manier van sporten zal dat effect enkel in de eerste paar maanden kunnen optreden.
De kans is groter dat het aan vochtschommelingen te wijten is: hydratatietoestand, de hoeveelheid glycogeen in de lever (glycogeen trekt veel vocht aan), de hoeveelheid bloedplasma (dat neemt toe bij het beoefenen van een uithoudingssport).
Mij viel het in het verleden op dat gewichtsverlies een niet-lineair proces is, ook al doe je elke dag hetzelfde of nagenoeg hetzelfde dan nog is het perfect mogelijk dat je bijvoorbeeld dit ziet:
week 1: -1,5
week 2: -0,5
week 3: -1,7
week 4: -0.5
week 5: -0,3
week 6: -1.2
Ik ben dus op een gegeven moment eens gaan zoeken naar de oorzaak hiervan. Je weet dat het verschil in verlies aan vet niet zo groot kan zijn, niet als je redelijk consistent bent en dat dit bijna onmogelijk te wijten kan zijn aan de oorzaken van vochtschommelingen die ik eerder noemde.

Of Whooshes and Squishy Fat
A few weeks back I answered a question about Not Losing Fat at a 20% Deficit, What Should I Do? and among other things, one comment I made had to do with a water retention that often occurs during fat loss which can mask fat loss and make it appear as if the diet is not working. I also mentioned specifically that I had written (with a straight-face no less) about whooshes in The Stubborn Fat Solution, along with a related phenomenon which I call squishy fat.
In any case, to expand on that issue, I’m going to excerpt the chapter section from The Stubborn Fat Solution dealing with both phenomena. With that introduction, I give you (again, with a straight face)…
Of Whooshes and Squishy Fat
Before you freak out and think you’ve entered some weird Internet forum where people talk about stalls and whooshes, please bear with me; there’s actually some physiological rationale to what I’m going to discuss.
Many people have noted that fat loss is often discontinuous, that is it often happens in stops and starts. So you’ll be dieting and dieting and doing everything correctly with nothing to show for it. Then, boom, almost overnight, you drop 4 pounds and look leaner.
What’s going on? Back during my college days, one of my professors threw out the idea that after fat cells had been emptied of stored triglyceride, they would temporarily refill with water (glycerol attracts water, which might be part of the mechanism). So there would be no immediate change in size, body weight or appearance. Then, after some time frame, the water would get dropped, the fat cells would shrink. A weird way of looking at it might be that the fat loss suddenly becomes ‘apparent’. That is, the fat was emptied and burned off days or weeks ago but until the water is dropped, nothing appears to have happened.
For nearly 20 years I looked for research to support this, I was never sure if it was based on something from the 50’s or he just pulled it out of thin air as an explanation. Recently, one paper did suggest that visceral fat can fill up with water after massive weight loss but that’s about it.
Somewhat circumstantially, people using Bioimpedance body fat scales (which use hydration to estimate body fat levels) have noted that body fat appears to go up right before a big drop. This implicates water balance as the issue here.
As well, women, who have more problems with water retention, seem to have bigger issues with stalls and whooshes than men. Further, some individuals who have done dry carb-loads (high carbohydrate refeeds without drinking a lot of water) have seen them occur; presumably the body pulls water into the muscles and out of other tissues (fat cells). In lean individuals, appearance is often drastically improved with this approach, it doesn’t do much for those carrying a lot of fat.
I’d note that dry carb-loads suck because you’re so damn thirsty. Interestingly, even normal refeeds often work in this regards, perhaps the hormonal effect ‘tells’ the body to chill out and release some water. So not only do refeeds seem to improve stubborn fat mobilization the next day (as discussed above), they may help the body drop some water so that you can see what is happening.
Finally, many have reported whooshes following an evening which included alcohol. A mild diuretic, this would also tend to implicate water balance issues in the whoosh phenomenon.
I’d also note that this isn’t universal, lean dieters often see visual improvements on a day to day basis; a lot seems to depend on whether or not they tend to retain water in general. Folks who do have problems with water retention tend to have stalls and whooshes, those who don’t show nice consistent visual changes.
On a related topic, I wanted to discuss something else that often happens when people are getting very lean and dealing with stubborn body fat: the fat gets squishy, feeling almost like there are small marbles under the skin. Yes, very scientific, I know. That’s the best I can do.
As folks get very lean, down to the last pounds of fat, the skin and fat cells that are left will often change appearance and texture. It will look dimply (as the fat cells which are supporting the skin shrink and the skin isn’t supported) and feel squishy to the touch. This is bad in that it looks really weird, but it’s good because it means that the fat is going away. I have nothing truly profound to say about this topic, just realizes that it happens and usually indicates good things are happening.
Samenvatting: vetcellen waaruit het vet verdwijnt worden in eerste instantie gevuld met water, pas na een tijdje, indien bepaalde signalen komen (hormonen en zo), wordt het water uit die vetcellen gedumpt en dan verlies je het gewicht.
Ik weet niet of dat het klopt maar indien het klopt dan zou dit een goede verklaring zijn. Ik vind het geloofwaardig maar ik weet er te weinig van om het te kunnen controleren. De doorsnee arts hoef je het ook niet te vragen.
