  • What kind of time period are you talking about? (Days, weeks, months?) Also, how positive are you that you're measuring in the exact same spots? A half inch in either direction makes a huge difference when you're talking about waist or hips. The right way to measure is to pick a point that never moves (say, your belly…

  • What do you mean by "I even lost weight when trying to bulk"? How much weight, and over what period of time? Assuming you're looking at a long enough period of time, if you were losing weight, you weren't in a surplus.

  • Hi posters, I'm going to move this to the General Health and Fitness forum. OP, I think you'll get better responses there.

  • It's really common to see a small jump on the scale when you go back to maintenance. It's coming from water retention, glycogen replenishment and the weight of the additional food in your system, but if you aren't prepared to see it, it can look like you've started gaining.

Lots of people find protein (and fat) very satiating, so if you're not getting enough protein to feel full and that leads you to over-eat other foods, that could be a problem. FWIW, I average 120+ grams of vegetarian protein per day, so it's certainly possible to get adequate…

  • Welcome! How long have you been on your new plan? It's not uncommon to start off in a very extreme way and gas yourself out, but please try to remember that weight loss always takes longer than you think it will. It's more effective to go at 50% effort if it means you can stay on plan for the next year than to go at…
