Hunger day before whoosh... why?

Today I woke up, stepped on the scale and saw that I'm only 2 pounds away from my goal!

Yesterday though I was starving. Nothing satisfied me, even though I'm in ketosis. I kept going to the fridge, cooking eggs, etc. Then I wake up today and see a 5 pounds loss

I've seen it's quite common, any idea why that happens?

I am terrible with explaining the science, so I will leave it up to others, but I get this too. Usually after a day where I end up eating enormous portions, I get a small (sometimes large) drop in weight.

Congratulations on being so close to goal!!!!!!!!
