It is also linked to weather (the hotter the worse for retention), PMS and a low protein diet or even some medication can make you feel water-logged. But sometimes, the jiggly layer covering your abs isn't water, it's just plain fat.
How do you know if it's water weight?
Symptoms of water retention
- bloating, especially in the abdominal area.
- swollen legs, feet, and ankles.
- puffiness of the abdomen, face, and hips.
- stiff joints.
- weight fluctuations.
- indentations in the skin, similar to what you see on your fingers when you've been in the bath or shower a long time.
How do you know if its water weight or fat?
There is no definite way though, but if your weight is fluctuating a lot and you are losing weight really quickly, it's most likely water weight. On the other hand, if you are losing weight slowly while following a healthy diet and exercise regimen, your body has started to look leaner, you are losing fat.
