Barely eating but gaining weight??? So frustrating

I can see no reason other than gas/water bloat that you would actually notice a visible change in your body in three days. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water (so you don't retain it), and are exercising and eat ALL the food groups, not just fruit and veggies. Eating so little is not healthy and you're obviously torturing yourself.

Hi there. I found myself in a similar situation. How long have you been dieting? What is your exercise routine? For me the answer was years and 6 to 7 times a week. I am at a low weight but was finding it hard to maintain eating 1200 calories with intense workouts everyday. Turns out I had damaged my metabolism from years of working out and restricting calories. I am not trying to reset and am upping calories. I'm not saying this is what happened to you but am just wondering what your situation is.

I think you need to see a medical professional. Please go talk to your doctor.

Eating under 600 calories a day will definitely slow your metabolism. It's counterproductive to eat that little.

its impossible to gain weight on the amount of calories you are eating
so either you're lying
or your uh lying

but keep posting topics like this that make you sound like you have an eating disorder... works real well in these forums
*rolls eyes*

this is counterproductive also. you shouldn't belittle ED. if she has disordered eating, she needs a specialist and to tell her family and friends to have a network of support.

Yeah, rolling your eyes at someone who probably does have something wrong, how lovely. If you wanted to make yourself sound like an unsympathetic arsehole, you succeeded! Congrats!

hi, i had the same problem a year and a half ago, i though.. if i eat less.. il weigh less.. thats not the issue whatsoever. I have lost 4 stone since last year, losing it little by little each week, your body needs a certain amount of fats and sugar to keep you functioning properly. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables ect.. and also at the moment i am eating 6 small ,eals a day, for instance;

breakfast; 30g special k with semi skimmed milk

mid morning snack; handful of blueberries- or any kind of fruit

lunch; tuna salad and a piece of fruit

mid afternoon snack; handful of nuts or berries

tea; vegetable chili with a small jacket potato and lots of salad.

This works for me i am being so serious... it is very hard at first but if you have the willpower, you will do it,
If i ate a good meal, i felt good about myself, eaten healthy all day, i feel brilliant.
a year later i weigh a healthy 9stone 10 and still losing, from 14 stone, that is a real achievement, and you can do it too.
Focus on something to work towards, a bikini body maybe/ a new holiday/ new clothes.
I worked towards getting married in a nice fitted dress, a year later i am in that slim figured dress, fishtail design, getting married on 15th november 2014. and couldnt be more happier.

If anybody would like tips or advice, please dont hesitate to message me.

Talk to your parents. Talk to a doctor. Hopefully someone intervenes in what you are doing if you don't seek help on your own.

Wow. Just...wow.

First of all, there's no reason to only eat fruit and vegetables. Zero reason. Cut it out. Secondly, two days isn't enough to see/feel a difference in weight. You didn't gain the weight overnight, so you aren't going to lose it overnight either. Patience: get some. All of this "looking bigger" nonsense is ridiculous - it's all in your head. You're starving yourself by eating 600 calories per day, you're certainly not getting bigger. Your idea of "fairly quickly" and my idea of "fairly quickly" is probably very different. You're not going to lose weight in two days - I can't say it enough. Here's my advice: stop dieting. You're harming your body with these radical super-low-cal diets. You need to educate yourself on health and nutrition because, quite frankly, you have no clue.

Don't cut anything out of your diet. You can lose weight while still eating meat, dairy, carbs, fat, etc. It's calories in vs. calories out. Go to http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/, put in your stats, and eat however many calories it tells you to eat. Get ready, because it's going to be WAY more than 600 calories. Next, you need to chill the hell out, because healthy weight loss isn't going to be as fast as you're hoping.

I'm wondering if you're even overweight. The best advice I could probably give you is to see a doctor.

OP... please see a professional.
