regain weight after rapid loss

yes i am under a doctor care i was on 1000 calorie diet but for some circumstances i wanted to lose weight quickly so for the last 2 weeks i changed it to 600 calories i am feeling very healthy you know what i am running this regime while studying very hard as i am taking the finals exams now

You can lose 44 lbs in a month if you are extremely heavy and you get one of those weight loss surgeries I think. I've seen it but only on extremely heavy people..... like 400 lbs plus.

Fyi- In case anyone is wondering, why I can't just take off the weight fast, in 1 month now... I WISH that I could still lose weight that fast, but I can't anymore. I was super healthy in NY, moved to GA, where, unbeknownst to me, I was exposed, for a long time, to lots of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, mercury, black mold and Candida, that made me quite sick and I gained 50 lbs in only 3 months...and I kept on gaining, no matter what I did or ate, or even if I exercised... Nightmare! I used to be very active and these toxins make me nauseaus and exhausted, every day, in addition to the awful weight gain. :embarassed: Just diagnosed and it is extremely difficult to take any weight off now, for a variety of reasons. So, please don't take your good health for granted. :bigsmile: And, if you are having a really hard time taking off your weight, for no apparent reason, you may have what I have. It took me a LONG time to figure it out... :ohwell: Good luck everybody! :flowerforyou:

All those environmental toxins in one place? I'm going to suggest you are being scammed by a "naturopath". Candidiasis? Not buying it.

Yep

It can happen when someone has WLS buuut when that happens, they are also losing muscle mass too. I know someone who had gastric bypass and she regrets it daily - she can't eat very much, feels sick a lot of the time, no energy to lift any more. It's crazy!

But anyways, you'd have to be like 400 lbs + to have this kind of change and it would be at first, which would slow over time. If he did have WLS then it's possible it happened and there could be more to his situation than he's saying.

I'm quite entertained by all the people saying you can lose a lot if you are 400+lbs blah blah blah. Most seem obvious as never having been over 400lbs...

Eating a gastric bypass style diet without doing surgery, I lost 30+ pounds in about a month, a little more. The problem ends up being that you regain the minute you increase you calories, if you do not step it up gradually.

OP, when you are on a medically supervised diet of 1000 calories for a short period of time, that is acceptable and such, as long as you were advised of proper supplementation. However, altering that plan without speaking with your physician, especially when you'd only been on the plan for 2 weeks prior to making the change, puts you at risk. Your doctor would have designed a plan for you expecting you to eat those 1000 calories. Cutting to 600 is almost halving that plan, and would completely change the supplementation necessary to support your body during this phase.

I do not condone VLCD generally, but when medically supervised, I can accept it. Except, of course, when the patient is not following the protocol and potentially risking their health. People need to understand that while heavy people may be able to lose faster, there are secondary health issues that can occur from rapid weight loss, and pushing your body to lose faster than planned by your physician directly impacts the medical stability of the plan.

If you do not continue seeing a nutritionist and adjusting supplementation, you will likely suffer refeeding syndrome. You will need to do a careful and steady, small increase to intake plan in order to return to a more reasonable diet for your size to avoid most of the weight gain... but the reality is, the further down you cut, the further your metabolism will adapt, and you can regain quickly if you go from 600 calories per day to even 1500 calories a day (I mean doing this suddenly; as in, if you eat 600 calories a day for 2 weeks, don't start day 1 after those two weeks at 1500... increase 100-200 a day). Be honest with your doctor and get some help.

> Please do not assume I was "scammed". You sound extremely ignorant and are acting like a Bully and a coward behind a computer screen. You know nothing about me. I was super healthy and now I am extremely sick. I dont drink, smoke, do drugs or party. Never have. Never will. I dont even take aspirin. There is only 1 variable here. I was in a "perfect storm" of EVERYTHING TOXIC, ALL AT ONCE. If you don't believe me, I do not care. I do not have anything to prove to anyone. I would give anything to go back in time do things differently. I was around people like you and that is why I got sick. I never took this stuff seriously and now, I am paying the consequences. I pray no one in your family has to go through what I have to go through, on a daily basis. You have no compassion and I feel very sorry for you. Very sorry for you. Never assume. You know what that makes you...

And, of course you can lose 30 lbs in 1 month and keep it off. I don't lie. I don't need to lie. Just because some of you people haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it can't happen or isn't true.... Sheesh... That lady said she lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks from her divorce. Of course, it's possible. Who are you people, anyway?

I thought you got sick from all the toxins? Was it the people or the toxins?

I think the point is that it is difficult to lose it in a healthy way. Stress, illness and poverty are not healthy ways to lose weight. Neither is starving yourself... which could be thought of, essentially, as a different kind of stress and illness.

Also, regarding the comments about that nice long list of "toxins," I tend to agree that it sounds a bit over the top. Especially because you were listing things you seem to consider environmental issues, but a candidiasis isn't an environmental issue so much as a lifestyle and diet issue. One can assume certain things about your life during that time based on the yeast infection alone, that would have precipitated great weight gain... and it has nothing to do with black mold or any of those other things. Candidiasis is most often caused by excessive alcohol use, high stress, and extended antibiotic use... All of which cause significant weight gain.

That being said, this thread is about the OP's concerns. As far as I could tell, the long responses didn't add much to the conversation. I'm sorry you reacted so strongly to someone expressing a reaction to your list... But the whole "environmental toxins ruined my life" thing is a constant root story for scams and product-promotion that many of us have heard before.

1000 calories is too low. Yes you may in fact regain weight, it's natural.

44lbs in a month... Wow!

:ohwell:

i trained a lot in that mounth and i dont think that its water loss i drink about 8 liters of water a day i am having a 600 calorie diet per day and run 2 hours every day

Oh my goodness, 600 calories is too few, especially with running two hours a day. Why did you cut calories so drastically? Are you under a doctor's care?

That's crazy. :frown:

:indifferent:

Look at my food diary. I measure my food so it's pretty accurate. I've lost 9 lbs in 3 days. Most of that will be water from excess sodium. I am 5" 10" 278lbs and eat between 2100-2700 calories a day. I expect to lose 2-3 pounds a week this way. I understand you want to lose weight fast. If you're obese, you can manage 3-5 lbs a week with a 2000 cal diet. Lift weights (if doctor approves). Drinking lots of water doesn't mean you can't lose water weight. Water weight comes from sodium in the body and it increases the volume of fluid pumped through your circulatory system. If you decrease it to 1.5-2.2g a day from a typical 5g+ day, you will notice.
