Default Major Stress and carbs = Weight loss?

I have had a horrible week....I have been so stressed and fell off plan, eating all carbs and no veggies...not drinking enough water, etc. To my surprise...I have lost almost 5 lbs this week?!? Does stress burn more calories?

Stress burns calories if you exercise to help ease it. Stress itself doesn't do anything Perhaps your body needed a shake-up, a change in your eating routine? Sometimes eating more than normal for a short time helps your body lose a couple pounds. That's the idea behind calorie cycling (or the wendie plan for WW).

Make sure you get back OP. You could also be a bit dehydrated. Don't be surprised if you get back OP and go up. That's happened to me, but your body gets readjusted and the weight will come off.

Hope things get better for you soon!!
