This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because it's a week lol you're talking about losing water from sweating, stored sugars in muscles from exercising, and a teensy bit of fat loss.

Yes, and that is visibly noticeable on many people.

When I switch from bulk to cut the cut starts to take effect like almost immediately, and I slim down significantly within a few days. I know it's mostly glycogen and water, but it physically looks very different after the water wooshes out of your body and your muscles become more visible.

(Also, it's not exactly sweat, it's that higher glycogen levels are bound to water molecules, which get released and can actually be used by the body or discarded as excess as the body seeks an equilibrium.)

it's not about whether its noticeable. it's about whether or not it's attributable to lifestyle differences between cultures or if a person is just being extra active on vacation and wanted to talk about their vacation online

Somewhat unrelated but I 100% thought your uname said "TapewormTraveler" and thought "well this guy would know a thing or two about travel and weight loss" before my brain corrected it. I need coffee lol.
