I do need to watch my carb intake closer, I was hoping that wasn’t the case, however I gained 1.5 pounds his week while staying in my calorie zone.

If you upped your carbohydrate intake after eating low-carb it's pretty normal to gain Water weight. Carbohydrates won't make you magically gain fat, a calorie surplus will make you gain fat (but think about how much calories you'd have to eat to really gain 1.5 lbs of fat).

I can literally gain/lose 3+lbs of weight from Water retention (It's usually carbs and salt)

I haven't had toast with jam in soooo long... Welcome home baby 😆

L'Oven Zero Carb bread with butter sugar free jam ~200 cals (overestimated)

We don’t have an Aldi. I’ve never seen this at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. I definitely need this in my life, but for now it’s a no go. 😭

I’m 59 years old and I’m amazed (and pissed) at how easy it is for me to gain weight. I had a magical metabolism until I was 45 or so. If I stray too far from 1400 calories it adds up at a rapid rate for me personally. Chemo forced me into instant menopause and I’ve wondered if that played a part.

Beef Asian lettuce wrap. Ate the whole thing. 😋 Debating if I should have another half size one. Probably not.

Ps. I pulled out my little white dessert/salad plates to try to make the food photograph better😂😂

Oh, yeah. I put in 10+kg in a couple of months when I hit menopause. No change to what I was eating or my activity levels. Same thing happened to two friends too. Bloody hormones.

I’ve been eating white bean Soup (beans, carrots, celery, onion & spinach in vege stock) for the last couple of days & I’ve put on 1/2kg. WTF? Makes no sense.

Weird Breakfast, but it works for me.
10 costco shrimp with a tsp of cocktail sauce. Small slice of ciabatta with bruschetta topping. 125 calories.

OMG, could get my hands on cashew camembert!! With this stuff available I won't crave the real thing anymore. 😍

Happy Cashew

Never seen it in my area so far though! 😩

I have only ever seen YouTubers making it

Salad... Because I actually did a core workout today that hurt like hell so I decided I should just eat better instead of suffering 😅

spinach + avocado+ cucumber+ feta + raisins

Then I added croutons because crunches didn't hurt as much as the thought of not eating croutons 😅

I've seen that as well. But I doubt this will ever happen. 😅

I could only ever imagine justifying that much work for a special occasion
