Re: help
Denise,
Were you underweight to begin with? Are you retaining water? Theoretically, you would have to be consuming about 1250 extra calories a day to gain 5 pounds in 10 days. Thats a whole lot of MB food that I believe you would find youself very uncomfortable consuming.
If you were a heavy meat eater, your body could just be adjusting to the carbs with some water retention. The more protein you eat, the more water your body needs to properly assimilate it. You need to consume a lot less water when eating MB. Remember your whole grains, beans, and veggies contain most of your daily requirments for water.
I know that I read in one of my MB books that some women will gain weight when they first start on a MB diet. I'm sure that this will even out over time.
I hope this helped.
Thanks,
Leenie
