That brings me to so many women struggling and wanting to give up. I can understand that gaining weight must feel horrible when you think it should be the opposite, but I think if you have come from a background of strict low fat or strict low carb or even calorie counting, you are going to have to expect some rebound weight. I think it is kind of like what Dr. Schwarzbein (msp?) says in her book.... this is a period of healing the metabolism. Even more so it is a period of healing the obsessiveness of dieting, so there will be a period, I think, of eating all your favorite foods just because you can.
I think, if everyone hangs in there, in the long run the weight will come off and in the meantime you will make peace with food.
Don't give up. Give this wonderful program time to work. Trust the simple rules and eventually you will have success.
Just my 02 cents for the day.
