is it possible for a gain/loss to take WEEKS, even MONTHS to show up?
the reason i ask is that i've eaten pretty on track, no binges, around 1800-2500 calories per day (depending on level of activity) for a week and a half, and no loss. In the past, there have been times when i wasn't watching what i ate, and ate EASILY over 3500 calories every day...no gain. Of course, i eventually gained, which is why i'm where i'm at now. Basically unless i'm strictly dieting (which to me, means keeping it under 1800 calories every single day), i can see almost no correlation between what i'm eating and the scale!! But, that does not mean i'm going to go back to eating 3500 calories a day...because i figure it will eventually catch up with me, maybe weeks or even months later. Has anyone else experienced this????
(Yes, i know some will suggest that i increase my calorie deficit...i am working on it, but right now i'm focusing on some other diet goals, such as not eating sugar, and i'm not terribly concerned with losing weight immediately)
