Why You Gained 5 Pounds in 3 Days (And Why It's Not Fat)
Description
The scale jumps 3–5 pounds after you start eating more and your brain screams, “I knew it, fat gain!”
Not so fast. We break down the real reasons behind that early spike and show you how to navigate the first two weeks with confidence (instead of fear).
Why does the scale goe up 3-5 pounds or more so quickly? What's actually happening physiologically, and why do most people reverse course right when they should hold steady?
If you've ever tried to "eat more" (reverse diet) and felt like you immediately started gaining fat, this explains exactly what's going on.
Learn the complete 10-Week Recovery Diet at our live workshop this Tuesday, Oct 21 at noon Eastern. Learn the systematic approach to raising your intake so you can add up to 400-600 calories a day by New Year's without gaining more body fat.
