You need to remember even though your weight remain the same you are still losing fat you just gained muscle mas so if this week you lost 2 pounds of fat but gained 2 from muscle mass your weight will be the same

also measure yourself you’ll see the difference

stay strong keep exercising and focus on your goals

If you added more workouts to your routine you need to account for glycogen stores. For every part glycogen you store the body needs 3-4 parts Water for it. It'll take a bit but your body will adapt.

so this takes away from the loss until the body gets used to it?

yes. Below is a basic breakdown of what happens, I'll attach a link below if you want the science behind it.

You see the body is a very ideal system and does not want to waste. Besides Water needed for glycogen, it also does not want to waste fat cells. When you have used fat stores in the cells it thinks 'I will refill the cells again with fat once i have more, since i don't have fat now i will hold them with water' after a few weeks of more fat loss the body will be' well looks like we keep loosing fat so i should let the fat cells go' and this is when you literally loose pounds overnight. It is called the whoosh effect and happens as weight loss happens.

Did you read the article in the link that you posted? It actually says that they don’t know what causes the whoosh effect . That the cells do not fill up with Water as you have stated and then let go of it again.

When I said the science behind, I meant what is hypothesized of what is happening. I should have been a bit clearer on that. thank you for pointing it out
