Weight back on after stopping - how quick?

I have been back eating carbs since Sunday, although I am following Slimming World again.

How quickly do your glycogen stores fill up again? When should I expect to see a weight gain? I weighed myself this morning and I am still the same weight as I was on Sunday?

Thanks xx

You may be losing weight whilst refilling your stores so it is possible to see no change on the scales.

Just realised that I didn't answer your question! I would expect your stores to refill within a day or two if you are eating a reasonable level of carbs.

Thanks! I was exepecting to put about 4lbs on, so if I stay the same this week, I will be over the moon!

When I come out of ketosis I usually put on weight up to day 5 so assume that this is my glycogen stores refilling.

On the other hand I lost weight when refeeding. Can't work it out but it just shows how everyone is different.
