Smoking
If you have recently quit smoking then you might be consuming more calories. Smoking can act as an appetite suppressant, so when you quit you may eat more without realising.

Too much salt intake
Eating too much salt food can lead to fluid retention in the body, causing temporary weight gain. Stay hydrated, cut back salt and eat fiber to lose water weight.

Insomnia
Your sleeping routine and cravings are directly linked with each other. Poor quality of sleep can make you eat more and lead to fluctuation in the weighing scale.

Dehydration
When you do not drink an ample amount of water in a day your body stores all the extra water in the body, leading to water weight gain.

High carb-diet
Switching from an extremely low-carb diet like keto to normal carb can also be the reason. That’s because carbs will help to store extra water in your tissues.

New medication
If you have started any new medication that also might be the cause of your sudden weight gain. Sleeping pills, depression and pain killers all can lead to weight gain.
