Ross, I don't know, of course how much detraining you've gotten but when you DO detrain there are other things besides just lean mass that can cause some short term decreases in weight. One thing is that your body begins to store less glycogen. And thus less water. That can account for some of it. A little may be protein loss but I doubt it's anything significant. I any case a 3 pound fluctuation would be considered normal and insignificant for most individuals.

Look at it this way. Part of becoming a "trained" individual is that your muscles store more stuff. Heck, if you do enough in the realm of endurance even your blood volume increases. So the reverse is also true which means that detraining causes you body to begin storing less stuff. How long that takes depends on a whole lot of factors, of course.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
