I've been on IP for two weeks and have gained weight. I keep a strict food journal so I'm feeling discouraged...what's going on?

    Hi,

    There are a few reasons for weight gain that I'm finding out.
    - Water retention from the high sodium
    - Water retention from that nasty girl thing every few weeks
    - Muscle gain (if you're working out).

    It wouldn't be from following the diet since you're probably only getting 800 cals a day and what, 50g of carbs?

    But don't get discouraged! I know it's easier said than done. I was sitting at a plateau for almost two weeks and wanted to pack the entire thing in and give up.
