ouzogirl....
I read through your journal and your foods seem to be ok. The one thing that I see is you mentioned here that you use whipped cream on your jello. Can I ask if you are making it or if you buy it? You may not be getting enough calories...1300-1500 may be too low and your body may be hitting a starvation mode....see if upping it to 1800 helps. Stay away from any of the sugar alcohol treats. I find that not only do they stall me, they cause me to gain. I don't have any problems with splenda, sweet n low or aspartame though.
I gained on ooo, but I was eating sa's at the same time, so it isn't the best comparison. It was great for my sinuses though. I may try it again.
You don't list what you have eaten in the last few days of your journal, so it is hard to tell if there was a trigger for you. Be weary of sausage...that can have some hidden sugars. I can have a slim jim here and there, but not every day. They are great in a pinch though. You may need some more fat in your diet. A lot of us try to incorporate 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs. Can you tell that you are in ketosis? (breath, taste in mouth, urine smell or get some test sticks). Is it that TOM? A lot of variables. That 5 pound gain is more than likely water and you will be able to drop it in no time if you keep your induction clean. Let me know if I can help in any way!
