    thank you for posting this and explaining it so clearly. i'm no where near maintenance - about 35lb away from where i would like to be - but i feel like a penny had dropped now regarding weight loss and the fluctuations on the scale that occur :flowerforyou:

    Thank you for the wonderful post. I was concerned about a little gain, but am really close to where I want to be on the scale. BMI is healthy, but fat is still at 26. I will keep this post in mind. It reminds me of what I tell my friends. Your body is like a car, it must have fuel to run. If you don't give it enough, it won't work right. If you give it too much it overflows! The trick is finding the full mark. :)
    Thank you for the great post!

    So am I right to say that when I am increasing my calories intake slowly to mantenance level, the weight that I will gain will eventually be lost?

    If you increase slowly enough you may not see an increase at all because you will still be losing some fat along with normalizing glycogen stores and water. If you do see a sudden increase it's because you went straight to maintenance calories, in which case, you won't see that loss again - it is just restoration of normal glycogen levels without additional fat burn.

    I am increasing slowly but I gained... I am eating 1200cals for a week now and trying to slowly up my cals. Will I just continue gaining??
