    I've amped up my gym workouts this week, increasing the difficulty of my cardio and lifting heavier. Gotta build that muscle to increase the metabolism.

    Same thing happens to me, but it's any carbs(Bread is the worst). If I go over approximately net 30 carbs daily. Even if it's good low carb veggies. :-( My body seems to hold onto them. Even if it's a cardio workout day. My body doesn't seem to burn them. It could also be water weight that comes with the carbs. I read somewhere and my sons agree, with every gram of carb 4 grams of water retains with it.

    Same here. Carbs just don't work for my body. Ugh.
