Gained 5 lbs @ 12 weeks

[snapy17 39]

I had posted last week that I fell off the wagon but I did not qualify what I meant...do here goes I literally 900 calories per day instead of my usual 600 cal and I00 gms of carbs instead of my usual 50gms. I confessed, repented and got back to Protein & excercise........ well I gained 5 pounds in 1 week.....which is mathematically impossible as I did not consume 20,000 additional calories in a week....so what gives? My Overall weight loss is 42 lbs in 3 months.

At this point I will take a stall but gain ????

Why did you increase your carbs? Glycogen in your liver and cells, creating Water weight after coming off low carbing. That is your weight gain right there.

Increase your Protein and try to keep your carbs at 25, max 50. That is pretty easy to do.

meat and green veggies, that is all you should be eating, and the odd Protein Shake if you are running low on protein for the day.

My doc told me that keeping carbs low and protein high will kickstart ur metabolism when that happens

Water weight, your "bad days" are still ok, but your body will adjust. Don't beat yourself up, allow yourself to live a little on your path.
I agree with the others too
