I go down, then up, and now up again. What am I doing wrong? I know I am not consuming enough calories to gain 4lbs. so quickly. I think I better get my fq ready to mail out to the winner :lol: :lol:
Is anyone else having this trouble?
What happens is by cutting back on your food intake your body goes into starvation mode and you won't lose weight that is why you should have a cheat day. Our bodies didn't catch up to eating all the time. In days of old when man had to hunt for food their body would go into starvation mode and keep the extra weight so that when there wasn't any food they wouldn't die, they were living off their own body fat. It is the same now if you are dieting and not having a cheat day your body will store the food and not burn it so that your body will have something to live off of until the next meal. Hense you gain weight. With a cheat day your body will have more food/extra calories and reboost itself and burn more calories again. I hope I am making sense, any questions just ask if I didn't explain this correctly.
