Hey all, I joined myfitnesspal approx a week ago when I found out I had high cholesterol...I decided to go gung-ho and eliminate meat and dairy from my diet until I get my levels under control...I also followed this site's recommendation as far as calorie intake goes but I checked my weight tonite and it appears I have gained a few lbs?!?!? how is this possible? my body is accustomed to eating meat and not all these beans/grains etc but that cant be the reason why the scale is budging in the wrong direction can it?? I have a long way to go already and adding more lbs is very discouraging.....:( help!

I know it is discouraging when you don't see immediate results. Give it a couple weeks, you will see progress! Your body has to adjust to changes, you could be retaining water, etc. Don't give up! :flowerforyou:0

I did the South Beach diet back in January and lost 11 lbs in 10 days whoo talk about immediate results...but later learned I had to watch the meat/dairy so that kinda threw me off the No/Low Carb boat a bit.True, I might be retaining water..didnt think of that. What are u doing for urself to get to ur goal?0

Check out Dr Barry Sears Zone Diet books. He explains it very clearly. It's all in the insulin reaction.0

Did you originally weigh yourself at night? There was just a post on there last night about weighing 2 lb more at night and I guess that's the average. I never count any of my weights except my weigh in on Fridays at Weight Watchers. I weight myself daily (I know, that's a no no) but more for motivation or information then anything else. I can weigh 199 tonight and 194 tomorrow morning. Water is a huge key though, drink lots of it and you will see results.0
