So I weighed on Friday, and I had put on 4 lbs. no I know I blipped at the weekend and on Wednesday I had a Burger king (unforeseen circumstances on the way home, meant a traffic jam for about 3 miles, and a wait of 4 hours, so back we went to town and every eating place was closed but burger king :/ )
So even still I know I didnt eat an extra 14000 calories to put on 4 lbs of fat.
I know what it is though, On Thursday I was teary, got spots and my tummy was really bloated, I thought aha, the coil still hasnt settled down and my period was about to start again. But no, My ovaries started being painful and so I must be ovulating, I have had painful ov before but not this bad, its still sore today. Apparently this WOE can do this , as the fat comes out of the cells more hormone is there so messes things up a bit.
Just found this too:
Studies have shown that some women who suffer from PMS may become more sensitive to insulin during the luteal phase leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which could be one of the reasons why they eat 62% more refined carbohydrates and 275% more sugar than those women who don't suffer from PMS. It's believed an increase in estrogen levels may enhance the efficiency of the insulin action. Insulin also aids in fat storage in adipose tissue making weight gain an additional problem.
Maybe this is what is happening to me. I am soldiering on, its got to come off, its got too, it did the first 2 weeks, it will again. But I need to find out more about this menstrual cycle and fat & hormone thing.
