Mocha2871 182 Posted October 16, 2013 I am not that far out but I can say that maybe if you go back to doing what you started doing when you were losing. I know that with any weight loss there will be times when you will gain and then lose it without doing a thing. When I was doing weight watchers I would gain one week and lose the next doing the exact same things. So, dont give up and it working it will be ok my sleeve sister. 1 tanya.malhotra reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASKSARAH - Sleeve 256 Posted October 16, 2013 your body is confused. It went inot starvation mode. Began to store and save fat and Water etc.. in order to survive. So when you begin to eat your body will keep that food storage in case it has a starvation episode again. Honestly I would not worry about it. Feed your body! Make sure you up your calories a bit, lots of water and move you will get back on track. I know when I say up your calories sounds counter productive but it works. Give your body fuel! 3 Madam Reverie, tanya.malhotra and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsrmanatee 51 Posted October 16, 2013 you haven't really gained weight. when you fasted, you lost Water weight and now you've gained it back. just continue on your high protein/low carb diet and keep up your exercise and you will lose again real soon. 4 gamergirl, tanya.malhotra, sophiepants and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gojogo 55 Posted October 16, 2013 Your body is adjusting from fasting and starvation mode. It will all balance back out so try not to worry. If you stick with your plan it will work :-) 1 tanya.malhotra reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaLegs 38 Posted October 16, 2013 When you fast, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. It's normal for your appetite to be depressed now, but it may really start kicking in once you start eating. I wonder if your mood is being affected too. Keep in mind that this is only temporary, and when your appetite comes back, stay on track. Every one is unique, and the way your body now deals with fasting may be different. Perhaps a consult with your nutritionist would be in order to help you deal with this. This is a learning opportunity, not a failure. 1 tanya.malhotra reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
