Keep gaining weight but doing everything right

No. I had to read the whole thing, so you should too.0 -
Bur at this point, what is happening now is that you are bullying me. I am one person and the majority are now making fun of and twisting everything I have said.
I hope you have achieved what you wanted.
If you start weighing your food, yes, we've achieved what we wanted. But if you don't, you'll just keep NOT losing weight. And we'll keep losing weight. Whether you weigh your food is really only up to you. We can't twist your arm.
Also, public forum. I don't think anyone was bullying you, per se. It's just... well... you sound very combative to basic thermodynamic principles.0 -

Do you have an understanding of calorie surplus, deficit and the basic means by which weight loss happens? If no, then what I want has not been achieved.0 -

No one has been mean. They told you the hard truth and you didn't want to believe it.0 -

I hope you achieved what you wanted. Clearly, it wasn't to gather useful knowledge on why you've gained weight, but that's not here nor there. You are doing everything right like you told us in the title.0 -
So, to summarise
You are a professional badminton and tennis player
You gained 15kg in a year
10kg of that gain may have been the result of a deliberate weight training programme
The other 5kg was unintended
You eat 1500-1800 calories at all times whether training or not
When not training your weight stays the same
When training (average of 3 hours a day) your weight increases
I'm afraid I don't know of any phenomena that can explain this0 -

That's actually kind of funny. I'm sure this is offensive, but in my mind badminton is in the same sports category as ping pong.
Badminton was actually an exhibition game at the Olympics.
Both badminton and ping pong can burn a lot of calories. Both require you to fit.
I bet OP is very fit. I couldn't do what she does. But, even fit professional athletes can over eat and gain weight.0 -

It's like a riddle. "What thing becomes more on your plate the more you eat it?"0 -

Maybe they have a different definition of "bullying" among those raised in Sweden, but telling you the truth isn't bullying.
Maybe it's something that comes along with knowing a portion size . . . I'm not really sure, I'm a fat neighbour to the Americans who don't know portion sizes.

Disputing your assertion your body is defying the laws of physics and you disagreeing is not bullying. And generally, when people are told the thing they're right about is wrong, they resort to the GIFS and memes because it's generally all downhill form there anyway.

@acorsaut89 Depends on what level you play it. Like I said, I play both tennis and badminton and competitively. There is such a thing as pro badminton and I am doing it, only because it isn't as prestigious as tennis doesn't make it less real. I have sacrificed much to get to where I am and I also love it. There are a lot of training outside of badminton as well, like I mentioned, I swim and run and do weight training in addition, as of course badminton doesn't provide for everything.
@mccindy72 if you are taking it as an insult that is on you. I was genuinely happy for you that you found a good combo of things you can eat, not for the weight-loss but to relieve the IBS. As I said, I just started fodmap and need to adjust to it. I love broccoli and now I have to leave it out. Not sure how that is rude but sure whatever.
Either you're incredibly naive, or being deliberately obtuse. You came on this thread looking for reasons as to why you aren't losing weight. When people said it's because you are eating too much, you said that's not it because of your medical issues and 'special diet'. I'm telling you that's not the case because I have similar issues and a special diet, too. Your weight loss issues have nothing to do with your medical issues or your special diet, they are because you are eating too much. I was insulted because although I am trying to explain that to you, you continue to disagree and make it sound as if you are somehow worse off because you are new to the special diet.
Adjust? Let's not get into comparing lists of foods we have to give up, that's just sad. Obviously there's still food we can eat.0 -

Speaking of defying laws of physics.

I have stopped saying no for a long time now, the last two pages have been all of you bullying me and making fun of me.
Is everyone feeling good now? Does it help if I say I don't feel well at all? Can we end this now?

On a deficit no. If there's a hormonal or health issue, possibly.You should check out Gary Taubes book "Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About it." He talks a lot about other reasons besides "you're eating too much" that people gain weight. He looks at case studies such as marathoners that have run the equivalent of 3 times around the globe, and yet still gain weight. It might help you gain another prespective about the chemicals in your body that cause weight gain beyond the simple calories in, calories out model.

Why not just accept if you are gaining weight over time then you are in surplus, its most likely you are eating more than you think, burning less or have set your calories at an incorrect level. Thats fundamental. It is that simple. until you are open minded enough to accept that, then you cnat really get closer to the answer you need.
Youve been asked loads of questions but give the impression that the basics of your calorie control are ineffective, hence your results. People are trying to help you.0 -

Let's just simmer down with the dramatics. You posted looking for help. People wanted to help by giving good, general advice. You declined all of it insisting that you are somehow outside the laws of thermodynamics and your some kind of weird medical case that should be studied.
You proceeded to insult Americans and deny every single piece of solid advice anyone gives.
If you aren't willing to listen then why post? That would be like hiring a coach and then not listening to anything he says, insisting you know the sport better.0
