Gaining not losing...

I am almost done with the first week of my low carb diet and I am gaining and not losing... although I think it is because I started my period and it is water retention.. I know I know.. just an excuse. But I havent had my period for over a year so I was quite suprised when I got mine out of the blue.

Not an excuse. Your TOM can play havoc with the scale. My periods have been
somewhat irregular over this last year, but I can ALWAYS tell it's coming by the
otherwise inexplicable surge on the scale. Try not to get discouraged by it.
Just keep on keeping on and wait and see what happens AFTER your period. Many
women find that, once the water is shed, they have an extra bonus, to boot!

Do you have PCOS by any chance?

Some people call low carb the 'fertility diet' as it often goes a long way
to relieving the symptoms of PCOS by stabilising your insulin.
