well, when i reintroduced carbs again, i gained weight right away.... of course. We ALL DO..... it has to happen. And its ALL water weight. For every gram of carbs (glycogen) your body stores, it also stores 3 grams of water along with it. Hence, you start eating carbs and you are going to gain the water weight back! i ACCEPTED THIS and didnt let the 4-5 pound gain freak me out..... im actually being quite generous here. it DID freak me out, but ive since learned a LOT....
now i eat carbs, but ive learned that i personally need to eat them around the times when my body is going to USE them, so i dont STORE them. Basically I eat most of my carbs in the morning (i workout/run in the am) and at breakfast. The carbs taper off a little at lunch, and then by dinner generally just have protein and veggies. Theres no reason for me to eat carbs right before i go to bed! i dont need energy to sleep
