Your scales must be off or somethings wrong because to gain one pound you must consume appx 3500 more calories than you expend and usually that's spread over a weeks time to break it down in 500 extra calories per day increments. Same is generally true for loosing weight. So if we follow this, in order for you to gain 2 pounds in just one day then you would have to consume your bodies' normal caloric requirement, say 2000 to 2500 calories PLUS 7000 more calories. Now constipation may help for a day or two of measuring but sooner or later you're going to looses that weight as well. lol
