in Getting Started
Is anybody firmiliar with spirit? I will continue this program. It’s still very early on but I have gained weight. Maybe this more more of an energetic problem ?

    MFP is a site for keeping track of your calories and calorie needs. If you ask your question here, your answer will be: because you aren't logging accurately enough.

    Or at least: because you are consuming more calories than your body is using.

    Or ask whether you have increased your exercise levels, eaten more salt or carbs than usual, TOM etc to try and account for water retention which can mask weight loss.

    I think it depends on how much weight you've gained . if its a couple of pounds it could be water ... if your exercising it could be increase in muscle mass , you may have an increase in body fat because your simply not burning enough calories

    I'm not familiar with this program, but a lot of information is missing your original post, so it's hard to give you a good answer. How many calories does this program have you on? Do you log your foods? If you log your foods how do you measure your portions? How many weeks have you been attempting to lose weight? Have you started any new exercise program or introduced some new modifications to an existing exercise program? Do you suspect water retention (eating something salty or carby, TOM, sickness, injury...etc)?

    Love the flow chart!
    Good luck to the OP in finding your answers. Your post doesn't offer enough clues as to the whys but I need to check out the spirit program because I've never heard of it.
