What would cause an 8 lb weight gain in a fairly healthy individual?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water weight: Believe it or not, water can account for many initial pounds of weight gain or loss. Keeping an active lifestyle with walking daily, limiting your salt intake to 1.5 grams/day, and drinking more water than any other liquids can help you achieve your ideal body weight. Of course, be aware of your caloric intake to maintain your bmi. Ask your physician for a specific plan or referral to a dietician.
