When I take off a week, I have gained back 10 lbs. and more. Does this happen to anyone else? I am thinking that I must be extremely sensitive to sugar or something else. Any thoughts?

I hate to be the one to tell you this...but its called a "way of life" for a reason. 
If I do what you did, I'd see that kind of water weight gain too.....but I don't do it because its just not worth it to me. 
What are the treat foods you indulge in when you do go off?
Do you have them moderately or do you overeat them because you miss them?
Have you tried to find replacements for them that fit the parameters of your plan? |
