Question!?!?!

Hi,

I have been doing the reset for about 2 weeks now, and I just weighed myself and I havent gained at ALL!

What does this mean? TDEE wrong? Maybe I didnt need to reset?

Stats

BMR 1372
TDEE 2127

I am 5'8 and 131 lbs and 35 yo.

I do 30 mins of strength training followed by 30 mins of cardio 3 x per week.

I do a far bit of running after a 3yr old as day to day activities ...

Please advise!

Thanks :)

    Hey there!
    I checked your numbers and at moderate activity it seems good. How long were you doing a VLCD?
    My first week of the reset I lost one pound and upped my calories to the next level. From there I gained a total of 3.25 pounds in 9 weeks. Maybe your at your true TDEE!

    I was doing VLCD for since Jan ish. Not as long as most but still long enough. Unsure if I should have just did a diet break/reset.

    Thanks again!

    TDEE is your maintainance level, so if you are maintaining then I think you are at the right numbers :)

    My first two weeks on EM2WL I lost, the third I gained so that may happen to you. Count your lucky stars some gain over 20 pounds! Best of luck!

    I agree with this.
