any idea why I'm putting on weight despite exercising?

Question

I've been eating really heathily for over a month and have been consistently exercising. In the past two weeks, despite exercising more and eating even better, I've gone up a dress size and gained 3kg. Any idea why?

Answer

Hello! So I have run into something similar before when I decided to really start becoming a better me. If you haven't really spent a lot of time working out before,  and you have just jumped into it,  you can cause micro tears that will cause inflammation and water weight gain. It is your body adjusting and adapting to new life style changes. Don't get discouraged though! You should start to see channels soon if you keep at it :)

Answer

It might he because of muscle, muscle weighs more than fat and maybe your getting muscles defined so things grow different for example your butt. When you butt is fat it tends to go down at the end a bit and when its musclier it pops out more

Answer

Have your thyroid levels checked. X

most likely muscle gain. the best way to find out if going to a health or fitness shop that has a body fat scale. that way you can get accurate measurements on how your weight is broken down in fat, muscle, and water

Answer

Could be anything, go to your doctor to see what they can check out. I found out I had insulin resistance, that was my reason.
