Hey everyone,
Has anyone done the egg fast and gain weight? I am on day three and have gained 2 lbs.

Can't say I've ever heard of that happening to anyone I'm familiar with.
Is there anything else you're eating more of than usual besides eggs?

I did 2-3 short egg fasts last year and each time I did end up losing a little weight. (They seemed to help me break out of plateaus.) Hope you can figure out what's going on!0

Which egg fast are you doing, and how much are you eating?1

Hate to be a downer, but I lost weight, then I ended up bingeing. I guess I don't do so well with over restriction.

I did the " I breath, I'm hungry" one. I think I figured out anyone. I only eat 1000 cal. normally and the fast was giving me 1200. So I think that's why I was gaining. I have stalled and can not break it. I have 10 lbs to go and I am getting frustrated. any idea's ?0

Those calories are very low. How long have you been eating at that level. I'm wondering if you've slowed your metabolic rate. It doesn't make sense to gain on 1200 calories.
You may need to eat more, allow gains to happen for a while to raise metabolism.
Or try a true fast/feast regimen.
Fast for a full day. From wake to next day at wake. Then follow it with a true feast day. Not a calorie restricted day at all. Truly feast. Maybe do that twice a month or so.
But I would start with a feast...4
