Good article about why body weight fluctuates on a daily basis?

Hi;

Can anyone point me to a _good_ article about why body weight
fluctuates so much on a daily basis?

I know it is about water, food, and air coming/going, but I would like
to read something by an author with credentials that gets into some of
the details. Not necessarily a scholarly article ( that would be
good ), but something a little better than "Oh, it is just water
fluctuation".

Thanks in advance

Steve

The classic article on the topic is "Why the scale lies":

Thanks! It was good. That site was a bit slow and buggy, but the
article was very popular. Googling on the title I found it at this
other site:
