I notice that after some dives I can lose 3-4 pounds, while after more relaxing ones very little change.
mayoclinic:Remember that 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat contains 3,500 calories. So you need to burn 500 more calories than you eat each day to lose 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories). If you lose a lot of weight very quickly, it may not be fat that you're losing. It might be water weight or even lean tissue, since it's hard to burn that many fat calories in a short period.
If you mean diving as Excersie or substitute for working out. If you were diving atleast 3 times a week I could see diving as excersing. It is a workout getting all geared up and un geared etc.
It does wonders for my mental health!
Diving definately helps eleviate water weight gain most definately...:blush:Do you pee when you dive? Pee on every/no dive?
