The reason we put on weight in the first place, wasn't because we were eating carefully and checking the scale often to make sure we were gaining steadily. However, we ate badly in a consistant manner which made us all successful gainers. Now if we are to be successful losers, we must stay just as consistant. Don't give up, this is a woe not a "diet". Perhaps a different low carb diet would work better, perhaps you need a carb blow-out or fat fast. Or perhaps, all you need to do is just wait and see. Give your body a chance to say to itself, "Oh I getit!!!" Yes, exercise can cause you to gain because muscle is heavier than fat. But muscle metabolizes fat so the wieght gain will only be temporary. The body might also retain more water due to exercise. Accept the way your body takes you and it will not lead you wrong IF you remain consistant.
