Water Retention

I decided to try that newish diet, "The Dukan Diet" and if you know it, you know it involves eating a lot of protein.  A co-worker and I were chatting about it one day, and I committed to giving it a whirl.

I started the following Monday (the first day was the easiest), and by Wednesday, the scales said I was down 3.5 lbs. Jackpot!

I stopped in the door way of an office where the aforementioned co-worker was working on something with another co-worker.  She looks up, without pause and says:

"Did you pee a lot today?"

There is silence for a moment, then the second co-worker bursts out laughing, as did I.

"What?"

She continues to dig herself in.

"Well, your face looks thinner, and when I am retaining fluid, my face looks bigger."

Um.  Thanks?

The second co-worker is busting her guts out laughing now, wondering what the hell is going on.

"Oh, no, you know.... since you started your diet....  all protein...."

I handed her a shovel.  Since she was digging anyway.

I guess her point was that I lost the whole 3.5 lbs off my face.

I'll take that.
