water weight
Temporary bodily bloating
Water weight is the fluid your body retains beyond what it needs, causing temporary fluctuations in body mass.
Salt intake, hormones, and carbohydrates all affect how much water the body holds.
People tracking their weight learn to distinguish fat loss from water weight: I lost five pounds but it's probably just water weight.
