I’m sorry to hear this. Have you maintained your restriction. If so, from what I’ve heard it’s just back to the basics. Small portions, Protein first, chew slowly, hydrate well, etc.

Gaining a little or a lot? Most people don’t stay at their lowest weights. If you are gaining more than the anticipated amount try to figure out if it’s related to lifestyle (high stress), diet (food and drinks with too many calories despite the size) or medication

this was really a really good video - thanks! And yes - I've heard from the get-go that most people gain 10-20 lbs (about 10% of what they lost) after hitting their lowest weight. I swore it would never happen to me, but it did! I've come to terms with it finally. My challenge now is just keeping it there and not letting it go up anymore.

I like his videos. He’s not rude or condescending. I think if more teams told people to expect a little gain it wouldn’t be so devastating when it happens. I was not given that information until I joined the community and people made it sound like Armageddon instead of normal.
