I know it may sound strange but I am happy with my 2.5 lb gain.

We have just got back from a family holiday in Majorca where we where all inclusive for the week. I have eaten so much food this week and more carbs than I have eaten in a long time. Yet when I got on the scales this morning I found that I have only put 2.5 lbs on and when I put my weight into my true weight app I had only gained 0.1 lb so feeling really chuffed.

Having said this I am already back to fasting choosing to have a fast today, then back to my normal Monday Thursday fasts next week.

I don't think that's strange at all. A gain is anticipated and its lower than expected and you know that with fasting you can shred the excess in the usual manner

Love our Way of Eating as we can be so much "in control"

Well done to you then @Mich37
Thanks @Juliana.Rivers

I know what you mean about this way of life, it is so flexible I never feel like the diet is controlling me instead I feel like I am in control.
I agree! That is is a wonderfully small gain considering the all you can eat and extra carbs. I reckon 1-2 weeks of fasting and it will all be gone! Priceless!
