Do you lose weight everyday when on a diet?

So for example, I didn’t go down the scales at all today, did I eat too much yesterday?

No, there are too many variants for that to work. Your bowel doesn't work at a constant speed, it depends what you've eaten. You retain water because of hormonal variations etc.

You need to look for a downward trend, rather than a daily loss.

No. Fluctuations can be huge and apparently random. Sometimes you will weigh more than yesterday even if you followed your plan rigorously.

I've got an app where you record your daily weight and it evens out the random fluctuations with a predicted weight. i find it really helpful so I don't self sabotage when the number on the scales doesn't reflect the hard work.

I know i should probably throw them away but i am so much happier in myself when i'm a bit slimmer.

the app is called happy scale i htink

No definitely not. Some days you will stay the same or even go up a bit and then have a big drop in weight a few days later. Try to track your weight weekly or even fortnightly.

I can go kilos up and down within a week.
For example today I was 100kg (not really lol). I am having drinks and food which is salty. Tomorrow I will most likely be easily 103. Then it goes down 102, 100, 101 and next mon I will be 99.

Don't look at each day. Look at overall. Is it overall going down? Good!

My weight can fluctuate up to 4 pounds in 24 hours, 2 pounds up/down very common. I’d weigh a few times a week and take the average - several apps do this incl Fitbit and Happy Scale

No. I often don’t lose at all for the first couple of weeks. Then it’s up and down. Look at the overall trend, not the daily gain/loss.

You lose fat every day, but it won't necessarily reflect in weight loss everyday for the reasons explained above, it's why "experts" don't recommend weighing more than once a week.
