Confused.

About 2 weeks ago I think it was, I upped my cals to 1400. Since then I have been eating between 1600-2000. But my weight is still going down. I have not been working out or drinking my water... so maybe I am losing muscle mass, maybe I am becoming dehydrated (dont know if that helps haha)? Before when I was eating between 1200-1300 cals a day, if I went up to 1600-2000 I would gain instantly... I dont understand whats going on.

No one knows? haha

I think you answered your own question. 1400 is still in the losing category. I am at 1300-1400 without any exercise at all and losing 1 pound a week or so.

maybe your body needed a break from dieting? You do need to drink your water tho, for health purposes.

Yes but Ive been eating over for about two weeks. Ive been eating between 1600-2000cals a day.. Which is about my "maintaining" daily amount..

Well I guess it doesnt matter haha as long as im losing weight... I am going to exercise again and will drink my water again... Goodness me haha

maybe your metabolism has increased due to your prior exercise and weight loss?

and now I MUST ask

why is you off yo diet?:smooched:
