Think you've gained fat?
It could actually be water weight.
๐๏ธ Dr. Sam Shay explains that when inflammation is high, your body holds extra water between your cells to help dilute inflammatory chemicals and protect tissues.
The result?
๐ง Puffiness
๐ง Water retention
๐ง Less muscle definition
๐ง Higher numbers on the scale
