What are reasons for weight gain while dieting?
Answer Hi D, First off, it is normal to have some variation of your body weight from day to day (1-2 lbs or so) depending on your hydration level, and other things like where you are in your menstrual cycle (if you’re female). If you used a different scale to weigh yourself for the “before” and “after” weights, that could account for some variation too, as every scale is going vary a bit from another scale. Secondly, a week is not that long of a time to expect to see significant changes! I know once you make changes for the better, you want to see results, but sometimes you just have to be a bit patient and try and look at the big picture. Some people lose weight very easily, and for others it’s very difficult. It sounds like you are on the right track, so just hang in there! Give it a month and see where you’re at then. I’ve included some of my weight loss tips further below to help make sure you’ve got all your bases covered. Also, you don’t mention whether you are exercising at all
