    Why did I gain? 5th day induction

    I just don't understand how I could have possibly gained 1.4 lbs from one day to the next. I've been extremely careful of what I eat. It doesn't make sense because yesterday I had no appetite, I ate very little for dinner (not my usual helpings) -so I exprienced appetite suppresion. And last night my keto-stix turned the darkest they have been, I mean they showed moderate ketosis. I even feel lighter- but when I weighed in this morning I was shocked to see I have gained. I even did extra crunches and pushups yesterday?? When I want to the movies last night, I drank diet soda- do you think it could have regular? I'm thinking no, because I did the keto-stix after going to the movies? Is it even possible to gain during induction- or am I doint something wrong (besides weighing myself evey morning??) Experienced atkineers- I need your advice PLEASE!!!!

    Try posting some of your daily menu's so members can take a look & make suggestions.

    Also Dr. A states that we should not weigh everday as your weight will vary from day to day. Try weighing in once a week~~I know that is hard for many people.

    Please read this thread..."Weight loss is not linear"

        How does eating more help with losing? Does it get your body more into ketosis??

          I had the same problem. I actually went 2 days eating little to nothing because I wasn't hungry. I think this is what caused a stall and some weigh gain by messing up my metabolism. Once I went back to eating 3 meals and 2 snacks the weight loss resumed.
          I have continued to stay in ketosis even when I was gaining a few pounds back.

              I think you have put your finger on it, Abbey
              If weighing daily is likely to affect your mood or make you doubt you will be better off waiting till after your 14th day on induction to weigh.
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                I weighed all the time at first. I now weigh if I think of it, usually once a week. I make it a point to only record my weight if it is at an all time low. If it jumped up a bit I just ignore it. I have the confidence with this diet that the weight will come off. Be sure to drink lots of water and posting your menu is a good idea but my guess is that you are doing everything just right. Even extra exercising can play with your weight temporarily. Relax!! Keep following the book exactly and you will continue losing.

                  Thanks guys- you all had many good points, I'm keeping positive though because as someone else mentioned I should just relax and keeping following the book and I will be F-I-N-E, as in good looking Coolness!

                      Ditto about weighing only once a week. I've seen my weight fluctuate as much as 4-5 pounds in a 24 hour period.

                        it could be because you ate so little.. body goes into starvation mode.. thnking it wont get enough food tomorrow so it holds onto everything... just keep eating.. maybe try to have a bit more fat... and drink water... your body will even out... and learn what to expect..

                        keep up the good work.. you are doing great.. really

                          when i weigh everyday it seems like you go two steps forward and 3 steps back, so i don't do it!!
