Sudden weight gain with no change despite altering diet and exercise. what could cause this?

Fluid retention?: Are you retaining fluid? This can cause a sudden weight change with no change in diet. Are you constipated? Sometimes after a few days of dieting, bms slow down and weight goes up (temporarily). A high fiber diet and drinking plenty of fluids will prevent this nasty problem.
