Hi, just wondering if someone can help me figure out what is going on with my body??
I officially started my lifestyle change about 3 weeks ago: Initially I lost a good amount of weight, by Monday last week I was down 11 lb. I now weigh 248 (I'm 5 ft 10" tall) I'm using mydailyplate, which first recommended I eat around 2500 calories, but I felt that was too much. I also do 30 minutes on the treadmill most days, alternating walking and jogging. For the past week I've been eating 1300 kcal per day, sometimes a little less, but never under 1200 kcal, or over 1400 kcal. And I'm GAINING weight, about half a pound a day - . I've gained 2 lb from last week. How the heck is that possible??!! I actually find it more than a little worrying..
I'm eating all good whole food: typical day would be:
breakfast: 4 fruit smoothie, 2 slices low cal toast, one with cheese spread, one with homemade low sugar jam
lunch: yesterday I had omelette made with 1 egg, 1 eggwhite, and vegetables
afternoon: had a small amount of chocolate (my 4 year old wanted to share hers), about 90 kcals worth
dinner: vegetables and a small amount of fat-free bacon
no oil or anything in any of the cooking.
I'm drinking plenty and making sure I do at least one active thing a day (yesterday we went for a 1 1/2 hour walk along the canal).
So why am I gaining?? It's really weird, this has never happened to me before
If you've any ideas, please let me know..
