For the last 3 weeks I've changed my whole diet. (gone from eating junk food to cutting it all out and eating healthy, watching calorie intake etc..). Also have been excersising for over an hour a day on the exersise bike I purchased. However I've put on about a pound or so. I wasn't expecting instant results but did not expect to put on weight. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Has anyone else had this problem when trying to lose weight?
Answer:
For most people if they go from not doing much to exercising allot they do put weight on at firstmuscle weighs more than fat but takes up less roomThat is why when you join a gym they also measure you.Get a measuring tape a soft one that they use for sewing and measure your self around the waist and hips and chest upper arms upper legs Keep track of the measurements but make sure you measure at the same level every time.
it is best if you measure 4 or 3 inches down the leg and arm some where where you can keep track of it
Please note that in some places you might start to get bigger measures as well i.e. upper arm if you are lifting weights some muscles will grow so the ones to pay att to is the waist and hips chestWhen you weigh your self make sure it is first thing in the morning before you eat and after you go to the bathroom. So you do not start to obsess it is recommended that you only weigh and measure your self every two weeks if you have to do it more no more than once a week
I know of a person who started to exercise and they put on 25 pounds but they went down 4 sizes in their clothsAlso for most people and more so for girls it is the norm for their weight to go up and down with in a five pound range. Depending on what time of the month it is.
its possible that you've just gained muscle if you've been exercising a lot, because muscle weighs more than fat, but hey the main thing is that you look good right
Yes, everyone has setbacks. They are normal.Could be a lot of things that caused you to gain some weight, I wouldn't worry about it. Just stick to your plan. And good luck.
It's probally just the rise in your excercise, muscle weighs more than fat so when you first start an excercise program it is normal to gain a pound or two just by building up muscle, don't let it discourage you tho, you are on the right path and you will see results soon.
well not exactly...
but if I had been cheating on my diet whilst "dieting"
and also cheating my excercise regimen whilst "excercising"Then perhaps...
It happens as you exercise - something to do with building muscle
Maybe you should do 30 minutes a day on the bike and see if that helps?
It wont be fat, it will more likely be muscle!
Dont worry - its only 1lb it will come off! :D
Muscle is more dense than fat, so you may well have lost a lot of fat, gained a bit of muscle and now the net effect is an increase in weight.What is more important is how you feel/look. Do you feel fitter now? Do you look better?You're right, 3 weeks is not very long as all to e seeing real results. Over a few months your weight should stabilise and you will definitely start seeing visible results.Good luck
