Why would one continue to gain weight if following a regular diet and exercise routine?

Answer 1

Muscle weighs more than fat. The person is losing the fat, but gaining muscle so the scale will be upsetting, but don't use the scale. Use the tape measure instead. Take measurements from now on. When dieting & exercising You have to be sure to eat the right foods also it depends on the time you eat & exercise. Sometimes we eat more than we think we are eating or we eat the wrong foods. Something that helped me tremendously was to keep a daily log of EVERYTHING I ate and drank for about a week. This allowed me to see my good and bad eating habits and made me aware of my food choices. Keep a good balance of protein and carbs and watch your sugar and starches. You don't say how old you are but remember that age can affect your ability to lose weight. Always eat breakfast - oatmeal, fruit and/or yogurt are good breakfast choices, also Kashi Go-Lean cereal...lots of protein and fiber. Finally, realize that losing weight is a slow process that involves lifestyle changes...Good luck to you!

Answer 2

I'm not actually taking any medication!! =| i was thinking maybe theres something in my "diet" that is contributing to my lack of weight loss (sometimes gain!) that im not aware of. I think I'll stop eating bread, and no more coffee.. but i definitely don't eat a lot. So i don't understand! Could someone help!!

AnswerI would look into what kind of medication you are currently taking. Personally, I am on many medications needed for the rest of my life, and no matter how well I eat, exercise, I will not lose alot of weight.
