I'm on low carb for about three years now. I've lost 18 kilo's, most of them in the first half year. After that half year I found a way by controlling the carbs to keep a steady weight. In the proces of finding out I gained two kilo's but after that I was steady as a rock. But last month something started to change. I started to gain weight again. I decided to go etreme low carb again, but still I gained weight. What am I to do? I've gained 6,5 kilo's in a month! I've read all the thread replies so far. I occasionally "mysteriously" gain weight. Up to six to eight pounds. By holding steady, watching carefully what I eat and making sure I exercise, it eventually goes away about as mysteriously as it piled up. One of the things I might suggest would be to go and see your doctor. Who knows what things happen that throw you off, and some of these things could be medical. However, I have no real idea of what medical problems to flag or pay attention to as sources of weight gain. If some folks share their experiences or readings about medically induced weight gain similar to yours, then you would be in better shape to invest the money in a doctor's visit. Whatever is going on with you appears to be different from whatever it was that sometimes goes on with me. Hope you can find someone with similar experience who can give you some pointers. Jim |

People who gain weight probably don't think that anything changed...it just happens over time. You become a bit less active and eat a bit more....given time, you gain weight. Now, a sudden gain of weight is something else entirely. On LC, one can regain water weight very quickly *if* carbs are reintrodued into the diet. So, if one of your typical foods is all of a sudden carb-loaded....that seems unlikely, but OTOH so does sudden weight gain.... |

If your weight is not far from ideal and you have been keeping your carbs too low that can interfere with further loss. One simple way to handle this problem is a switch from low carb to low fat for 2-3 weeks then a switch back to low carb again. Switch plans temporarily without ever going off of some plan. But how come i start *gaining* weight? 6.5 KG is more than normal water swing. My water swing is half that and folks seem to think my water swing is large. If you have increased portions without realizing it, it could be new fat. Very unlikely. If you have done a single carb-up it could be water. If so staying low carb will make the water going away. There are two big thins I can think of that can cause large water gain: 1) Some medications especially steriods. 2) Food intolerance. Have you recently added a specific food back to your diet? It would likely be a food that you ate regularly before you started low carbing. Maybe you recently started eating low carb bread and you are intolerant to a specific grain without knowing it. Folks who lose more than 5 KG during Atkins Induction often lose so much water from an intolerance IMO. |
