Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Red/Bucks/202 The lack of loss over the past two weeks has nothing to do with the 5 day carbo bender I just went on :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Yes, this is usually how my body loses!! I lost 3 pounds last week and do not anticipate any loss this week. I just think my body gets rid of some fat, then gets used to it, then loses, then gets used to it, etc. etc. I think it also has to do with the ratio of fat to muscle. As you get leaner, esp. if you exercise, your muscles will be growing, and muscle mass weighs more per volume than fat. This is great if you measure with a tape measure, but leads to jumpy readings if you just weigh. That's part of why I was afraid to get on the scales this week. I've been working out with weights, and was afraid that the fat lost would be equal to the muscle gained, and I'd get disheartened. Obviously, I'm not working out as successfully as I thought, because I lost more fat than I gained muscle, LOL! Cecilia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even seemingly innocent dishes like beef/broccoli would be full of corn starch in the sauce. That could be throwing you right out of ketosis and cause rapid water gain like that. Also the salt content can be high in chinese. I'm allergic to corn. And I can't tolerate MSG. The tragic part of this, of course, is that I'm 1/2 chinese myself, and all my comfort foods have been taken away from me in one form or another. --jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 > > I can't eat Chinese anymore. Were you checking your ketostix? I stayed in ketosis, but my reading was only trace. I steadily increased as the days passed. I think it was salt as much as anything. I will stay away from Chinese for a while and use it only as a treat every few months. Oh well, that's life. I'd rather be thin and not eat Chinese as being fat and eating Chinese. Not a hard decision when the outcome is looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
