I started IF when I was 85 Kgs. I went down to 80.5 in a month or slightly more.
Now I'm back at 82 kgs :(
I actually intuitively felt like I was gaining weight back but idk why.
I mean ngl I did have some excess calories for my sisters birthday and have been having some extra sugars lately but besides that one day I've mostly been below 1500 cals sometimes over around 1700.
I still should have been losing weight if my BMR is around 2000 cals.
So what's going on? I did weigh myself after having food where as on other occasions I was weighing after a fast so I und tats part of the cause but still I couldn't have eaten 1.5 kgs lol. It could also be water weight.
So maybe I still gained half a kilo or so atleast.
But regardless I should have been lower than my weight after that first month I shouldn't have plateaued or gained slightly extra no matter which way I look at it
Insha Allah(God willing) this is going to make me push harder and pay more attention to what I eat and exercise but it still makes me feel a little upset:(
You guys been thrown something similar? What to do?
Answer
As long as you realise what happened, you can do something about it. That is, you had extra sugar. Within 1kg+ is my variance and acceptable. Any more and alarm bells will go off, like what happened with you. Get back on course. Tommorow is another day.
