Tomatoes?
Gaining and losing a few pounds in a couple of days is water retention, not a true weight issue. Did you put a lot of salt on the tomatoes and cucumbers? Obviously, you didn't eat 8000 calories of tomatoes and work it off the next day. If you were working in the garden, you might have merely puffed up some water retention from the heat. A lot of people mention inexplicably retaining water in hot weather. Liz wrote: So, after doing so well and getting down to 132.5 I had my first scare with what I think may have been water retention. I'm not sure - I think I need somebody to clarify what happened to me. I don't think I've had a tomato in months (I go through food phases), but a few days ago I noticed 2 red tomatoes in the garden, so I ended up having tomato/cucumber salad for lunch two days in a row. Since I'm stil trying to figure out what affects my weight I'm still weighing myself in the morning and night for a bit. I've been eating what I normally eat - the only thing that is different is the tomatoes. Weight shoots up to 135 yesterday morning. Of course I freak out and a pox on all tomatoes! Obviously, I'd still like to eat tomatoes. I read the whole "Fasting Challenge" thread which quickly turned into the tomato thread and everybody seems to hold tomatoes in such high regard. I'm back down to 132.5 today - but I need to know how I should approach this whole tomato situation. I find it hard to accept that I just put aside the tomatoes. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
