Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Peeps... I'm sad. I gained about 5 pounds this week since I cut back on eating. I've been eating like a bird and gaining weight. I'm scared and don't know why. I've sat at the same weight for a year, and now this. Seems like going liquid isn't helping any, I've been losing more hair for the past month, I've upped my protein for the past month and have been consistent with my vitamins. <sigh> Judy in Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Judy, A weight gain of 5 pounds in a week while " eating like a bird " is impossible. You are having fluid shifts (probably as a result of additional salts in your liquids). Just keep up what you are doing and stay off of the scale while your body figures out what the H--- you are doing now! Remember, it takes roughly 3500 calories to affect one pound in either direction--gain or lose. So, if you are eating such a small amount, as long as you are getting enough protein, water and exercise, YOU WILL LOSE!!! Stop allowing the scale to have such power! Have faith in yourself and your program. Go to this web site and read about how weight loss actually works. I found it very enlightening. http://www.howstuffworks.com/diet.htm Michele (with one L) >I've been eating like a bird and gaining weight. I'm scared and don't know why.
