Why didn't I gain any of the weight back?

[523206720]

I just got off my low carb diet yesterday and things were strange because
1. I did not have sleep problems like I usually always do when I get off a low carb diet
2. I did not gain any of the weight back

Why not? I usually gain the weight back as soon as I get off the diet. However I avoided mayonnaise, high fat foods, fried foods, and ate a homemade whole wheat pita, home made garlic sauce, home made hummus and 3 slices of turkey for lunch and for dinner I had fried dumplings that my parents purchased from the chinese grocery story.

I notice when I eat ethnic food - I don't gain the weight back but when I eat western food I begin to gain back all the weight I lost.

I think ethnic food is a lot better than most western food. I changes my way of eating last August. Since then I've lost about 30 lbs. I seem to be eating quite normally, but I think it's probably a lot less than I used to. I have, of course, changed what I eat. As you say, whole wheat foods best.

You changed your eating habit yesterday? There will be no difference in one day. It will take a while for your body to configure to the new eating habit. If you wanna gain weight then eat food that has a lot of calories but is still healthy.

You did get off the diet yesterday. It's not like you'd gain a bunch of weight in just a day

It could be that you have increased your metabolism so it burns food faster and easier.

That and you also just got off of the diet yesterday... so you don't immediately gain weight after eating. The only time your weight will fluctuate in short periods of time is when you have undigested food in your stomach weighing you down, which will go away after it's digested.

You just got off your low carb diet yesterday. How do you expect that you would gain a bunch of weight after just one day of eating differently?

[Hans222]

I think the answer is in the details to the question: you avoided lots of fat and that does a lot!
