I went from 194 pounds to 170 in 45 days...

On the one hand water loss is fast but limited - Glygogen is stored by dissolving it in water. *It is far more common to lose under 10 pounds than over 10 pounds of water-plus-glygogen. On the other hand doing the calorie arithmetic anything over 2 pounds per week is probably something other than fat. *Two pounds per week is 1000 calories net lost per day and human metabolism in starvation mode is lower than that. *Generally folks who lose over 2 pounds per week still have 100+ pounds to lose and their bodies are dropping stored fat faster than they are burning it for fuel. Neither of the common situations apply to you so it must be something else. *Unless you are now running a daily marathon it's not fat that you are losing. I'll offer a guess - I bet when you quit low carbing the last time you regained that quickly as well. *I suspect some particular ingredient or food that causes bloating or inflamation. *As the residual effects of that ingredient drop off so does the bloating of inflamation. *Since bloating is not limited by stored glycogen carbs the body can have a lot more of it. It's just a guess on my part but it is one way to explain the events. You can not have lost 25 pounds of fat in 45 days without running a marathon every few days or that level of exercise some other way. *That is the level of exercise done by contestants on The Bifggest Loser who spend all day on a treadmill when they are not doing some other type of exercise. *You can not have lost 25 pounds of glycogen-plus-water, or muscle mass or bone mass by any healthy means. Thus you're either losing it by some extremely unhealthy method or you started with something extremely unhealthy and it is now resolving itself. If my guess is right there is some food ingedient that you stopped eating. *I tend to supect grain but that's because I am wheat intolerant and biased. *If my guess is right when you start eating that ingredient again you regain at a pound a day. *The stuff would be really bad for you, much worse than for most people, and trigger an addictive behavior pattern in you. When you cheat is it with one specific food and do you end up falling completely off the wagon for a very large regain? *If my guess is right that's what would happen to you. Thanks for these details. I would like to post an Excel file which will tell what I ate when I regained weight and when I lost weight. Where can I post such file? |

That sounds like a lot of water weight to lose. I have tried many things in my 40 years to help me lose a few pounds. It gets frustrating after a while when you aren’t seeing any results. I believe eating right, drinking water only and doing about 45 minutes of cardio a day helps out a lot. I joined a program called newtopia that i’m seeing great results from also. I wish everyone the best |
