In a previous post I indicated I had gained 7lbs. I thought I was losing my mind and there was something seriously wrong with me. So I went to the drs asking what was wrong as I am following Weight Watchers and running 4 days a week and am gaining weight.
When I told her about everything she said it might be the carbs and that a lot of people who join weight watchers gain weight because they eat what they want as long as its within the points range and a lot of what we eat are carbs. She wanted to rule out everything and after a battery of tests, it ends up Im perfectly healthy (I was going to say normal, but thats not true haha) and that it must have been the carbs. She advised me to follow the South Beach diet- not to an extreme but to cut out a lot of my carbs and I should see a difference.
And wouldnt you know it, 3 days of very limited carbs I am back down 6lbs to my starting weight.. Hopefully if I continue the running and low carb diet, I will be at my high school weight. What? One can dream...
Tomorrow is a 50 min run and I am attempting to run with a group at 6am... very scary!
