What happens to your weight after overeating?

　　Unexpected discovery: After eating too much, you won’t gain weight the next day

　　Professor Wu from Nanjing is a person who observes life carefully. There is a scale at home, and he always likes to weigh it after getting up in the morning to observe changes in his weight. One day, Professor Wu ate too much for a business dinner the night before. He originally thought that when he weighed himself the next morning, he would definitely gain weight. However, when he stood on the scale, he found that his weight had not changed from the previous morning. He secretly thought that he might not have eaten enough to prevent his weight from changing. The next day he resumed his normal diet as usual. But on the morning of the third day, when he stepped on the scale again, he found that his weight had increased by one kilogram.

　　“Why does my weight only increase after one day? ”Professor Wu felt very strange.

　　After that, Professor Wu observed several more times. He found that after eating a heavy meal the day before, the weight did not increase the next day, but changed in the next two or three days. Professor Wu said that he always weighs himself in the morning, and his daily routine has not changed over the past few days, basically ruling out other factors that interfere with weight. “Is the weight gain caused by jet lag? ”

　　In order to confirm Professor Wu's daily observations, a science and technology reporter began to conduct a "fattening" experiment.

　　On Tuesday, October 18, the reporter got up and weighed himself on an empty stomach. His weight was 51 kilograms, which increased to 51.5 kilograms after lunch. In order to eat a lot, after the normal dinner that night, the reporter went to a barbecue restaurant for a midnight snack at 10 p.m., eating a total of 15 skewers of beef skewers, 4 chicken wings, some skewers of shrimp, squid, chicken crispy bones and razor clams, as well as two cans of drinks. After returning home that night, my weight suddenly increased to 52.5 kilograms. sleep I still felt my stomach was quite bloated.

　　But when he got up on Wednesday and weighed himself on an empty stomach, something magical happened. The pointer of the scale showed that the reporter's weight had dropped to 51 kilograms. This data remained unchanged from the previous morning's weight. It seemed that the overeating the day before had not taken effect yet.

　　The reporter also monitored changes in volume at noon and evening. On Wednesday, he maintained the same living conditions as the previous day, eating lunch and dinner in the cafeteria. Weighed after dinner, weight was 52 kg. No obvious changes can be seen from this data.

　　When I weighed myself on an empty stomach after getting up on Thursday, my weight had changed and increased to 51.5 kg. My normal weight after lunch also increased to 52 kg. Both figures are 1 pound higher than on Tuesday. The normal weight after dinner is the same as the weight after Tuesday night snack, reaching 52.5 kilograms.

　　In other words, the reporter's weight change occurred on the third day after the binge eating, and he gained 0.5 kilograms.

　　Life experience: Don’t think you won’t get fat if you don’t gain weight immediately after eating too much

　　During the interview, this reporter discovered that because this kind of time-lapse weight gain is not easy to detect in life, many people have been "fooled".

　　A college entrance examination candidate said on the forum that her weight increased sharply in the three months after the college entrance examination. She recorded: "It was okay at first. I went to Lijiang with my classmates on June 21. It was a tourist trip and I ate happily, but it was just a normal meal, not overeating. After I came back, I ate too much starting from June 26th because I felt very thin. I found that I would not gain weight immediately after eating one meal, so I thought I would stop eating tomorrow. As a result, with this mentality, I stepped on the scale on July 3rd, and boy, I gained 4 kilograms! ”

　　Another girl who started losing weight in March this year almost only eats two or three meals at night. tomato , then run for an hour and do about 200 sit-ups. After two or three months of doing this, I lost weight from 54 kg to 44 kg. However, she soon found that she couldn't adapt to this kind of life. For several nights in a row, she ate one meat and three vegetarian fast food, a large bag of strange-flavored peanuts, a bag of donkey-hide gelatin and red dates, and two cakes. She didn't stop eating until her stomach hurt. A sad thing happened: her weight had not changed significantly in the first two days, but a few days later she found that she had gained 2.5 kilograms. Now it was too late for her to regret it. So don’t think that if you don’t gain weight immediately after eating too much, you won’t gain weight.
