Hi there.....

I think that this is a case of YMMV (your mileage may vary). Some folks can eat processed foods with no negative consequences. Some of us can't. Personally, I discovered that the scale tends to bounce up less when I cut out all of the processed foods. You could try eliminating these two items and see what the result is.

However, scale bounces upward are common and quite normal for a number of reasons and generally none of them have to do with actually gaining fat again.

The most important thing for you to do at this time is to dig in your heels and continue on with LCing. I can almost guarantee you that your trip down to your goal weight WILL include some upward spikes. Though they are annoying, it doesn't mean that it's time to give up. It does mean that it's time to re-commit to the plan and maybe tweak it a bit.

Hang in there.....you can and will succeed with patience and perseverance.
