I'm gaining 1 pound a day in weight... help!
![Post Post](./styles/mcd/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I've been following The Starch Solution for 5 days, and I've gained a pound every single day... I am terrified of continuing at this rate.
I have eaten only potatoes, vegetables, peas, lentils and oats - I have used no fats or oils whatsoever, and have not eaten any nuts, seeds, olives, coconuts or avocados.
I am not over-eating either. I eat until I am satisfied then stop. This is easy because the food is not "moreish" like fatty foods are.
I am about 20 pounds overweight (I'm 150 pounds and 5 feet 6) so I should not be gaining weight.
What is going to happen to all this weight? It can't be all water. I always drink plenty of water.
I've been vegan for 18 months before this (and vegetarian for 16 years), and was consuming an average 40% of my calories from fat, as per most people.
Now I've eliminated the fats, the weight is piling on. Help!!
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you!![smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
