So from my diagnosis 4 weeks ago i have cut out bread, potatoes, pasta keeping carbs low & between 50-100g per day, moatly 60-70g and keeping calories to average of 1200 per day, this was working & i was steadily losing 3-4 lbs a week which I was happy with, but this week I have gained 2lb, i haven't done anything different... Baffled.. Fed up & demotivated & now i just want to get a takeaway.... Sorry rant over!!
Bodily weight fluctuates daily. It is perfectly possible to put on or lose 2kg from day to day without anything changing. It could be that you ate a few more carbs and your body has absorbed more water or to be blunt, you haven't gone to the toilet yet...
It's normal, so don't get discouraged!
So, do you weigh yourself at the same time of the day on those days you do? Personally I weigh myself first thing in the morning after waking and after going to the toilet. I also use a site called weightgrapher.com because it shows the trend
Over time is important, week on week weight will change, but watch the trend.
Another thing is weight loss will slow. Most sites recommend a kg a week is sustainable max loss, and as you get lighter it will slow, as the body needs less calories/energy which makes sense as you are carrying less around (sorry).
You likely get also lose faster at the beginning, it will then slower and eventually plateau. Since may until i hit my target I was a steady kg a week pretty much until I got to a certain few months in and then it slowed naturally.
I have graphed daily at times and it's like a rollercoaster
Have attached my 3 month view, but can assure you a week view can be as bouncy but my trend is down and that's the main thing
