Default "Whoosh"

I've been general low carbing over the past 5 weeks. Today, Mother Nature has called soooooo many times, and I feel really hungry. So, my question is: "Is this what they call a "whoosh?"" (I'm drinking the same amount of water I always drink and eating the same amount of food). I've low carbed in the past, but don't remember this part of it.

A whoosh is a rapid weight loss showing up on the scale. Many people tend to stay at the same weight and then lose several pounds on the scale in a short period of time.

If the Whoosh Fairy visits you, please tell her I have a lovely ribeye steak with her name on it, if she'd like to stop by my place!
