I am sooo frustrated! I started induction 2 1/2 weeks ago. The 6 lbs I lost went VERY slowly (starting at 146lbs went to 140) then I go camping for 2 days, ONE night and come back bloated, water retained and feeling like crap. The whole time I was there, I did nothing but hike vigorously so I had plenty of exercise. Granted I consumed several more carbs than I had during induction and also the elevation change from the valley to the mountains played a role in water retention. But now that I'm back, the water is all gone...I've gained 5 lbs in ONE day!!! What gives? I'm not craving anything. I feel better this morning than I did last night when I came back from my camping trip, constipated, bloated, etc....but the weight is still there. I don't plan on doing another 2 week induction phase. Any suggestions? I excercise regularly and lately I feel bulky muscled, not leanly toned....help!!!
