What’s wrong with me, I went on a diet and gained 5 pounds?

Meli-ionaire asked:


I went on a vegan type of diet [only one serving of dairy per week for calcium otherwise no dairy, no meat except fish, small portions, and a lot more fruits and vegetables, and i only drank water, nothing else] for one month [today] and I work out at least 4 times a week, and when I went on the scale for the first time this entire month, it said I gained 5 pounds. Is something wrong with me for this to be happening?

    many vegetables don’t contain trace minerals anymore….this is why you see a lot of vegans that are overweight today….I have done a great deal of research over the past few years and I am convinced cleansing while providing your body with the proper nutrition is the best way to lose weight…. I have coached many people through the best weightloss product in the world in my opinion…. You can watch a news story and get more information about the product at this website….

    Fastest Way to Lose Weight

    My girlfriend tried all sorts of different diets and products, most without success. Her friend let her try out a new Acai Berry product she was using and she now swears by it.

    Shes lost over 13 pounds already, most of the weight went from her tummy, hips, bottom and thighs. Apparently the Acai Berry flushes all the waste out your system and cleanses your body of toxins and bacteria.

    She got her own supply for free too, only had to pay a few dollars for shipping.

    Here’s their site if you want to check it out:

    Exercise and Weight Loss

    Hi!

    Reading about the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet makes you wonder if they might not be on to something. The way the diet works is different than other fad diets that involve cutting out certain types of food like low carbohydrates, low fat or low calorie. Instead it uses calorie shifting foods that you would normally eat, increases the number of times you eat, and changes when you eat certain things for fast fat loss.

    What is Calorie Shifting?

    The way calorie shifting works involves tricking the fat hormones that are sent out by the brain. Every time you eat something, your brain sends out fat storing and fat burning hormones, depending on what the item is.

    The idea is to send more fat burning than fat storing hormones, so that the body does not hold onto the fat for later use. If you keep confusing the metabolism, you will see fast fat loss, as much as 9 pounds in 11 days, that is the first weightloss principle of Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet.

    How Does The Metabolism Control Weightloss?

    This scientific weight control fact about the metabolism and how it works stems from our ancestry as cavemen, when there were famine periods between hunts. The body would store and hold onto fat for survival. The metabolism has not evolved from this self-defense tactic and doesn’t realize we can just run to the grocery store and get whatever we want.

    On restrictive diets, weightloss can plateau when the metabolism thinks it is experiencing a famine period, and it will only burn what is taken in. Even on some of the popular low carbohydrate diets, it is advised to eat pizza for two days when your weight plateaus to get the metabolism going.

    Why Do Some Weightloss Diets Leave You With No Energy?

    The only problem with many of these restrictive weightloss diets is the metabolism goes back to only burning what you take in and many people complain about being tired and worn down, when it is mainly the metabolism storing up the energy for later.

    By eating healthy, nutritious foods that are fat burning, the metabolism burns as much energy as you need. Many people on restrictive weightloss diets will regain the weight when they go back to eating normal foods.

    What Is The Best Diet For Weightloss?

    The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.

    Prepackaged fat loss products and frozen dinners are not something you can live on the rest of your live. You need to understand the basics of natural weight control, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet uses the fundamental principles of controlling the metabolism with calorie shifting normal foods you eat every day.

    Check my source, it might help. It’s a diet that works. Good luck!
