Maybe TMI, but have your bowel habits changed? Had your weight loss progressed in a linear fashion prior to this week? Or was last week a larger loss than usual? Could you have been dehydrated last week?
If absolutely nothing has changed as far as diet, medications, exercise, it may be worthwhile to make a call to your physician. Sudden, unexplained weight gain can be a side effect or symptom and shouldn't be ignored if it persists.0 -

Still take fiber pills with each meal. Everything has regular. Take potassium with each meal too as I did the whole time. Sodium intake is the same and needed on keto diet.0 -
Went down to 255 this morning. Could have been water. At 250lbs plus water can change much more then someone at 200 or 150. Talked to bodybuilding coach last night. He said cut out added fats in the diet on every other meal. Seems to be helping already.0

So much for overcoming those pesky laws of physics. Maybe next time.0

Not sure where that came from. I can only assume it's either jealousy or your a pessimist. Either way sucks for you lolbrianpperkins wrote: »So much for overcoming those pesky laws of physics. Maybe next time.

Just be careful not to over cut your fats, they are needed for your keto diet. Water weight isn't something to worry about unless you are trying to make weight for a specific day. You can drive yourself crazy if you focus too much on the short term fluctuations. Breath, and be well!0 -
I eat 6 meals a day. He is sending me a new diet plan that cuts added fats from diet in every other meal. Meaning no olive oil on my green beans with steak, no nuts with Turkey burger for one meal, no all natural peanut butter with on meal. Breakfast is always 5 whole eggs and 6 egg whites. I will still be getting plenty of fat in diet. My sugar per day is about 6-7grams from natural foods. Carbs are about 30-40.0

Remember, macros might be different when your riding the "bike". Which is why this whole thread doesn't belong here.

You're taking steroids; that completely changes everyone's advice and how your body reacts to things.

My prescriptions?0

nothing crazy just enough to bring up levels to optimal. Anti estrogen because my first labs showed high estrogen levels. The t3 was on my own but I only use 25mcg 3 times a day. That's nothing crazy

he was being ignorant with a smart comment. Excuse me for for not thanking him. I do find that some of the advice on here is helpful. Calling someone out would be much more direct with a point as you just did. I do appreciate the advice I got here. Also the low carb foods and so forth that have been recommended by others I connected with have been very helpful. Sorry for offending you however that may have happened but you are wrong the advice I got off here is helpful.
Exactly something doesn't change just because it's prescribed. It is what it is. You've also stated you used other stuff before. People coming in here giving you advice for one don't realize this and give you useless advice. And second, they give useless advice anyway.
Just like last time, someone calls you out at you claim they are jealous of you.
You are better suited for the other websites. You know which sites those are.

I would not call other members advice useless. That is kind of rude I would think.-1

I'd suggest watching your fat, protein and sodium intakes for the next week. Also, take a day or two off from exercise. The hormone medication can be messing with your bodies metabolism and water retention levels. Steroidal medications tend to make weight gain happen very fast. I gained 15lbs in month when I had to take them. Though I don't think you really retained/ate 28000 extra calories over the course of the past week to put on fat mass. Just give your body time to readjust to its new hormonal levels, try not to stress about it, and I think you'll be okay.0

My factors are the same. The doctor only prescribs enough to be where most males should be as far as testosterone. I have to get levels done every 6 months. It is not like bodybuilders pumping mass amounts in themselves. It's replacing what should be there not giving more. The anti estrogen was because my estrogen was high in blood work. With the medicine it's probably the same as yours now. Just like my testosterone levels are probably around yours. The only other factor is a very low dose of t3. I am just saying it does not make me any different from you hormonally. It would be unethical for a doctor to knowing do that. They would not risk their careers for that.0

Don't think you understand hrt very well. Look in to it. It's not like you think. It's much lower doses to keep hormones where they should be nothing more.-1

I know what HRT is, and I'm not saying you are doing anything in crazy amounts or that your doctor is unethically prescribing you anything. There are doctors in existence doing it for other people. Beyond that, you are likely just adapting to the new normal hormone levels that were previously too low. You're body is reacting to that, not because the levels are high but they are higher than they were before.Don't think you understand hrt very well. Look in to it. It's not like you think. It's much lower doses to keep hormones where they should be nothing more.

On keto diet last 2 months. Dropped 63lbs then jumped 8 in last week. But it looks like it was almost all muscle I added which was odd. Anyone else jump like this?
Will agree with the folks who say this is not physiologically possible. Probably just measurement issues. It doesn't look like you ahve that much to lose or gain at the moment.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Keep tracking, it's probably just an anomoly

You're joking right? I watched a documentary where they took random people who tested fine and sent them to one of those clinics and every single one was prescribed Test... As long as they paid the fee not one was turned down, Docs even helped them cheat the tests.0 -
It's my family doctor not a clinic lol I doubt the doctor I went to for 15+ years would cheat a test lolredfisher1974 wrote: »They would not risk their careers for that.

I have been on hrt for 3 years. It's nothing new. I think it was the increased 4oz of steak and also the fact that I can diet up in weight on a diet most people can't keep weight on with. It does seem like a freak occurrence I jumped but it's dropping again lol0

Not dissing OP, I'm sure he is on the up and up and needs his HRT. That being said I just find it odd that whenever I meet someone on HRT because he really needs it to get to "normal" test levels said person is always jacked up and way bigger then he could be without the HRT that only is suppose to bring you to a "normal level"0

Could it be because the ones you know on hrt are also into fitness? Who are you to say what someone can achieve naturally (or at a natural hormone level)? Is it possible that the ones in fitness you know of have been training for years, or maybe more people who are dedicated to their physique are going to have their hormone levels checked and find out when they need hrt?
Of corse it is also possible that when on hrt they are brought to the high end of normal......-2
