Dana Carpender says in her book "How I gave up my lowfat diet and lost 40 lbs" that you lose alot of water weight on low carb diets (5-8 lbs). And since CAD isn't really LC the whole time I think you probably gained your water weight back. When you eat more carbs your kidneys hold on to the sodium & water. When you LC your kidneys release the sodium & water. (hence the water weight loss)


I started CAD after not dieting or LCing at all and I gained nothing I really wouldn't worry about one weigh- in. Its the big picture, ya know? Am I losing? Am I happy? Can I live with this the rest of my life? All my answers are YES I love CAD!
