Are you drinking any water? Have you begun taking any prescription medications?

I echo what others have posted. You could be one of those people that react to sugar alcohols as if they were carbs and the sodium in pork rinds and sausage. Both will make you retain water.

I would also scrutinize the count on the flax muffins. Unless they are about 1-inch around and made with nothing but flax, water and fat, it's not quite possible that they're .5 grams each. If you make them yourself, you may be assuming that flax meal is 0 carbs from reading the label on the flax.


You can either click the journal icon at the bottom of anyone's post or go to the journal forum and scroll through.

It's all right here.
