Understood I have been trying for a year to start eating "normally" instead of low carb as the side effects were too much for me but finding it difficult.

I eat fruit and veg quite a bit so I'm ok with that. Whole grains to be honest I only eat quinoa as whole grains.

I'm coming up to a year with this problem and i can't deal with it anymore.

Yes! Things like white bread, crisps , pasta. Pasta is the worst I'm starting to see salty snacks make me bloated like crisps - not that I eat them a lot but if I do I'm in agony. But I just feel I can't eat carbs without getting bloated

Thank you all its been such a relief to hear both sides. Because of my history of yo yo dieting and binge eating it's hard for me to lose weight as I can become super restrictive and end up cutting out food groups so it's been hard eating with all food groups. Fingers crossed dietitian can help! X

Oh wow congratulations!

Oh wow that all sounds great! After my initial check up from the doctors ruling out any medical reasons why my weight loss is super slow I was referred to a dietitian. And I'm worried my nutrition isn't great as I have a history of yo yo dieting I have 45lbs to lose now. 40lbs lost so fingers crossed dietitian can help me…

I had that! I lose weight from my shoulders arms and legs and THEN my belly so I always look bigger in that arebut eventually I even out. Belly is the last place to lose weight from.

I thought I stalled as I've been 82kg for over a month every weekend when I weighed myself so going last week to the doctors and finding out I'm 2kg lighter I was happy. Step back on my home scale and it shows I'm gaining. I always weigh myself on my home scale but my doctor weighed me before referring me to a dietitian…

I used a weight and the number on the scale went up.

Same doctor and it was a dial scale that showed I'm 80kg last week. However I weighed myself on the weekend and it's showing the same weight (82kg) for the last month. I've weighed myself holding weights and the scale number changed. It's just showing I'm constantly gaining and not losing so I'm really confused.

Thank you both! My scale has been showing for a month I'm 82kg and only last week at the doctors it has shown I'm 80kg. I usually measure by my digital scale so to disheartening to see a week ago on a different scale I'm 5lbs lighter. I've been eating well this month I've not seen any change on my digital scale it always…

Update: my digital scale is showing me I'm 5lbs heavier than what my doctors dial scale showed. My doctors dial scale shows I'm 80kg 12.5 stones. But my digital scale isn't broken I weighed it with heavy weights and the number changed but every weekend I step on it shows I'm gaining. Doctor is saying I'm losing according…

Definitely not broken went on the scale with a wooden stand and it went up by 12lbs. But I think I'm going to go with the doctors scale as my scale has been showing I'm 4.5lbs + and only 4 days ago doctors told me I'm actually losing weight.

My scale has been showing I'm 82kg for a month which made me go to the doctors as I had thought my weight loss slowed down completely. I weigh myself every Saturday morning first thing in the morning with no clothes so I was surprised to see I weighed less at the doctors with clothes on. Currently on TOM and I told my…

I don't have weights at home I'll try with something heavy though and see if it goes up. If it doesn't definitely broken.

To add : I'm 5'4 and 25 years old female.

I opened up my diary before you judge I did go out on Sunday and I ate around 1,400 calories my cheat meal

I started here August two years ago lol but yes it's hard to be patient hope for the results to come

I track all my foods on here but I weigh them on a food scale but eating enough to hit 1,208. But it seems I'm meant to eat more that's what I'm struggling with. I don't know how to open up my diary. But i am truthfully telling you what I've been eating. I'm also Asian so we eat a lot of South Indian foods but instead of…

So I'm confused again I checked my macros on iifym and it's showing i should be eating 1507 calories and MFP shows I should be eating I should be 1,600. But I will track my diet closer.

No i was a yo yo dieter so I gained weight pretty fast. I gained over a period of 6 years only until I was 98kg 2.5 years ago I dropped my calorie intake to 1,500 doing low carb not really focusing on macros and it took 2 years to lose 2.5 stones. I gained 3lbs in one week eating 1,300 since dropping to 1,207 I dropped a…

I can't eat 1,600 calories that's impossible lol I don't even know how to. I was struggling with 1,300. To be fair another fitness coach said the same I need to eat 1,600 calories but I have 47lbs to I don't want to gain anymore

Oh let us know. Yeah the only way I could eat more is more carbs which I'm not comfortable with yet so eating 1,208 is good. I have to customise my MFP calories because it shows 1kg (2.2lbs) weight loss a week is 1,600 calories which is impossible for me to eat and I will gain weight super fast. I'm going to stick out…

Has it been working for you? I find it easier to eat up to 1,200 so hopefully if I continue staying consistent and training the weight should drop.

Calories you burn via exercise are exercise calories. So the weight training and cardio you do. They need to be added into the mix. If you are not adding these in, on 1208 calories you are in way more than an 800 calorie deficit. Exercise enables you to eat more, in other words. At 180 lbs I am guesstimating around 1600…

[ You don't gain weight on 1300 calories. You were eating more than you thought you were, or you mistook weight fluctuations for weight gain. Maybe but I wasn't shedding weight and it was hard eating 1,300 calories. You decide for yourself how much to eat. A weekly loss of up to 1% of your total body weight is generally…

@nexangelus @marthall Wait what exercise cals? Lol after my workout my dinner is my post workout meal. So I've got a history of eating low calories coming in below 1,200 I then tried reverse dieting which made me eat 1,300 i gained weight I found out that I'm actually meant to be eating 1,208 by iifym. I log using the food…

Guys I know why I gained!
