This literally happened to me today and I was like, “THIS is why I didn’t give up even though I was seeing no results”. Great video!

Another way to notice fat loss is the way your clothes feel. They feel looser around your waist that was once tight. Another useful sign is waistline shrinking and vascularity increasing. Relying on the scale is outdated nowadays.

I notice the fat looks really jiggly like water is under the skin before I get the whoosh effect.

I feel like if i get more sleep it makes a big difference in many ways, fat loss beign one of them.

Come on Whoosh effect! I know you are in there hahaha

This literally happened to me last week. After 6-8 weeks of dieting and exercising, cutting back on alcohol and getting more sleep the scale did not budge. Even gained a few pounds.  All the sudden I lost 8 lbs over this past 2 weeks🎉
I started at 169. Now 161.,Goal 135

Great topic! I almost always experience the whoosh effect...no loss for days or even weeks and then a big drop without explanation. It's frustrating, but I'm trying to respect the process.

This is totally speculation, but I always thought about fat cells like saggy skin after weight loss. When fat loss occurs, the fat cells may have less volume, but their surface area stays the same or "stretched" for a while and it takes time for them to shrink so if you're not eating the similar amounts of macronutrients every day, including sodium, the body fluctuates in water weight retaining water in the fat cells temporarily. Through personal experimentation I've noticed that if you keep sodium and macros the same during your cutting phase, you can lose body weight more linearly than if you have a lot of macronutrient variability.

Great video. I also noticed you get super hungry the night before a whoosh. Must be the fat cells way of desperately trying to get you to overeat right before they "die" and wither down to nothing :D

The scale frustrated me most. Now I know and knowing is half the battle.

I got the woosh effect years ago. Working out, eating right, no change for weeks. Did the cabbage soup diet about 3/4 the way through before I quit. The next morning, on day 4, lost ten pounds! I didn’t understand what happened until the internet of things came along 😂

I thought the whoosh would be a really large amount of weight, but thank you for explaining this. I now have better expectations on what to expect.

Began seeing my six pack yesterday, I mean, it was visible but it needed perfect light and me looking down or forcing. This video just explains my situation so well, it was like magic.

Yep, this happens to me. I have a cheat day Once a week where I eat around 3000 calories in one meal. The next day the fat around my stomach and love handles is visibly reduced.

This is how I've lost weight on keto. Can also tell it's coming because you end up urinating like crazy the day before. So I think that theory is true.

Truth! I plateaued then dropped 3lbs. But last night I couldn’t fall asleep. And woke up 2lbs heavier but actually look tighter. Judge by photos!

I had a whoosh effect this morning lol 11 days stuck at 76 kg and finally today dropped down to 75.3 lol so much relieve

This guy has FANTASTIC advice.  I've watched so many of his videos and all are very useful.  Absolutely No BS, just good solid advice.  He breaks it down to simple terms and explains what you are going through.  It's motivating and helps you get through plateaus.  I just watched this and his video on bellyfat.  Great stuff.  I hope he keeps them coming.

You answer questions I didn't  even know I had!

I've been dieting the past 11 weeks and pretty much all of my weight loss has happened in whooshes after a week straight of disappointing scale numbers.  I'm due for another one this weekend, it's been about 9 days and my waist has shrunk at least half an inch but the scale hasn't moved yet..
