How long does it take to gain weight.??.

I had a co-worker tell me today that you dont gain weight for an entire week after you over eat one day.. For example.. I told her I didnt eat so well this weekend (son was home and I stress eat big time). I told her that by today I thought for sure I would of gained a pound or two. She said that it wont show up till next week? Is that true? It takes a week to gain from what you ate in the prior week? Did I explain my question ok? lol. Some times I am an airhead.. ;-s lol pondering... Luvs and Hugs! Tiff

My 2 cents : Any weight gain you would show with in 24/48 hours is probably water weight gain not fat weight gain. I am not sure how long it takes to turn unburned food energy into fat but as long as you didn't keep eating like that my guess is that with the amount of food you can take in at this time there is almost no possibility it turned to fat. As for showing up a week later... I don't think that is accurate either. But again I have really no clue. That would be a great question for your NUT or surgeon!! Felicia

Great answer. I was thinking the same.. Thanks for your 2 cents.. Luvs and hugs! Tiff

Howdy Tiff! I'm just chiming in to say I agree with Felicia!!! What she said makes perfect sense...and what your co-worker said made NONE. Susan

I think your co-worker is getting alittle jealous of your weight loss.
