Is gaining 5 pounds noticeable?

So I'm currently recovering from an eating disorder, and so far I've gained about 5 pounds. It could be water weight, I'm not sure. See, I gained the weight in the first 3 days of my recovery, and then for the past 3 weeks or so I've gained nothing, and I've been eating the same amount, sometimes more. So I'm quite confused about that. But I feel like it's noticeable, like when I look in the mirror I look fatter. I don't know if it's just in my head, but it feels like super noticeable. I know in recovery you shouldn't think those things, because its normal to gain weight, but I was just wondering because I'm feeling really paranoid right now.

Hi Nora!It would depend on the person. It probably wouldn't be very noticeable, but I'm not sure if you're asking because you want it to be noticeable or not.I'm no expert about eating disorders, but if it helps you, maybe seeing your healthy weight range on the body mass index chart will give you confidence.http://www.grand-slam-weight-loss-tips.com/support-files/bmi-chart-in-pdf.pdfIf you're interested in a super good book that helps people break disorders, I'd recommend The Bondage Breaker by Neil T.

How to Lose Weight Without Counting Calories

Recommended Answer:

For Diet: First, you must watch your diet and eat real, healthy food. Meaning no junk/fast food, candy, sweets and no processed, canned and microwaved food. You can allow yourself a tiny tidbit like every two weeks so don't feel guilty. It may actually make you feel more motivated. Ignore the late-night snacks after 7pm and no-carb rules. They make no sense. And every time you reach for a candy or soda, ask yourself if that is really what your body needs. Swap with a fruit or some unsweetened iced tea. They make you feel more fuller and have much less calories. Also eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones. They keep your metabolism more busy.When it comes to cooking, steaming, roasting, baking, stir-frying and occasional grilling are examples of healthy cooking methods. Deep-frying, pan-frying, BBQ-ing, microwave in plastic and grilling with charcoal are a big No. Avoid dressing or any kind of sauce for your salad and food. And breakfast MUST be eaten everyday in the morning because it's the most important meal of the day.For Exercise:When exercising at the gym or home, do both cardio for fat burning and strength training for toning. Listen to music/audio books so that you don't feel bored. A workout is about 25-60+ minutes long. Workout right after you wake up is what I recommend. Your body will be forced to use your fats as energy as the body have already digest everything you ate yesterday. Have at least one day of rest for each week. It will give your body time to heal after a sweaty and tired week.In general, an effective weight loss workout routine might look something like this:- HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) 2-3 x per week (no more than 4 times a week, as the body needs to heal from this kind of intense training)- Lower intensity, steady state cardio on remaining days of the week, aside from 1-2 rest days- Strength training for the upper and lower body 2x a week each, or 2-3 total body strength sessionsTips:Find out your daily calorie intake and what is your ideal body weight. That way, you have a goal in mind and can stick to it. Find a motivation for you to stick to your weight loss plan. Like think how good you would look in that sexy bikini or cool shirt that is two size smaller than your original one. Record everything you eat including calories and did as in exercises and workouts in a notebook. Set realistic goals. Ask your family or friends to join you. That way, it won't be so lonely. And they get to benefit from it too. To reduce overall body fat, you need a combination of cardio, total body strength training, and a clean diet (lots of fruits, veggies, lean protein, whole grains & healthy fats). You don't need specialty shakes, powders, pills, etc. They are just a waste of money. Just hard work and have the discipline to eat healthily. Others:On your rest day, stock up on protein and vegetables. And rest days DO NOT mean cheat days or binge days. Minimize the carbs because you are not using as much energy as you did in the past six days. But rest days also don't mean doing nothing. Just take a walk around the neighborhood or do a few easy 5-10 minute toning workouts. The best is to go grocery shopping or house cleaning. That way, you, your fridge and the house will be ready for the next heart-pumping week.If you have a binge, don't worry. Everybody needs to break off for a while and give in to temptation. Don't beat yourself over it and feel guilty. Also, don't kill yourself exercising and eat 100-200 calories the next day. Just eat normally and exercise as usual. In 2-3 days time, your weight will be the same again. To prevent it, paste post-its on the fridge door that says things like, "Don't Binge When You Open Me". And wait for 10 minutes when the temptation raise. It would likely be gone by then. Have a cheat MEAL once a week. That way, you have something to look forward to and the meal can keep your binging at bay.Recommendations:Check out http://www.fitnessblender.com/ and http://www.nowloss.com/. They have calculators, calorie tools, exercise tips, healthy recipes and workout videos, most you can do at home, all for free. Good luck :)

Other Answers:

• I have always had issues with my weight and have been to dietitians, tried different diets, and even 24 hour drinks to lose weight fast. These are only temporary solutions. I lost 20 pounds in a month just by eating healthier 3 to 4 days a week. That's it. I hate veggies, water, and fruits. That was what I was missing, so I added it to my diet every week and will continue from now on. I not only am losing weight but the pain in my stomach and feet have disappeared, and my energy level has increased. No more headaches and no more bloating. Discipline is the key and research your own diet solutions. Know your food and know what you need then eat what you want as a reward for success. Your body needs the right food to stay healthy and energetic. Good luck.

Is breaking a diet only for one day bad?

So i have been craving pizza tomorrow because i havent had it for along time. Is it bad to have just one cheat day on my diet. Please answer in a serious matter.

Wondering How To Lose Weight Quick?

Recommended Answer:
Dude, be strong willed and eat watever you want.(in moderation of course, hence the strong willed I mentioned earlier)... Ur not going to resist bomb food forever. U need a diet for life so eat anything you want in moderation. For me I usually eat healthy or about 90% healthy Monday through Friday and then the weekend is my TWO cheat days. I eat watever I want. Although I try not to overdo it because if I do I know Mondays gonna be a bit¢h. As well as eating watever I want on the weekend I also don''t workout those two days. to me this Is the only way I can maintain any healthy diet. U get to eat w/e. And if u gotta east some fudging pizza... Eat the shit outta that pizza. Enjoy it. And run an extra mile the next day. No biggie. Good Luck buddy!

• I don''t think its bad. I actually think that all diets should allow one cheat day a week. It isn''t recommended though because for many people, once they have that one food that goes against their diet, its hard for them to get back on their diet because they miss all of the non-diet foods. What I can suggest is buying a lean cuisine pizza. I think its only about 300 calories. And its very good. So you still get your pizza and your still eating a low calorie meal, which helps your diet. Win win situation.

How to Lose Weight Naturally - You''ll Wonder Why You Didn''t Lose Before

Recommended Answer:
I recently tried the apple diet which is also a chemichal diet I lost weight but then gained it all! When I asked abt y that happened they told me that u r only losing the water but not the fat! So don''t waste your time just eat healthy and excersize! :)

• One thing I would really like to discuss is that weightloss program fast may be accomplished by the proper diet and exercise. Someone''s size not just affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, and also physical capabilities are afflicted in extra weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the offender. While a lot of food rather than enough workout are usually responsible, common health conditions and trusted prescriptions can easily greatly enhance size.
• Ive heard eating or drinking grapefruit is beneficial for burning fat? But is this true is it good for weight loss?
• grapefruit has an anti-oxidant content like Vit C. so its good for your health.
• Try cutting it with water or with another juice like orange or grape or something.
• its ok to drink juice as much as you want as its good for your body and mind,
• I am starting the grapefruit diet today and just wanna know if it worked for anyone else if so how much weight did you lose and in what period of time??? thanks

You can also try the brazilian butt lift, im planning on getting it soon (its a lot of freakin money) but the results i saw people having were awsome: thigh gap, awsome legs and butts (lol).

Lose Weight For Free Fast And The Foods That Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
You''re already very thin and losing 5lbs isn''t going to really change the way you look. Also, you cannot just lose weight from where you want to - it doesn''t work like that. If you diet and work out, you could very well lose weight ONLY from your butt. I''d be on the safe side and just focus on exercising and you should see the results you want, you just have to be patient.

Hypothyroidism and not loosing weights?

I''ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since June and I took 50mcg now I take 75 mcg. I have not had any weight loss from taking my medication. Should I consult my doctor about this or does it take a really long time till the weight loss begins? Thanks

Losing Weight Successfully

Recommended Answer:
I did not experience any weight loss being on 112 mcg of Synthroid daily. I had to have my thyroid killed off with radioactive iodine due to thyroid nodules and out-of-control hyperthyroidism. I very quickly became hypothyroid in like two months. I started out on 25 mcg slowly working up to 112 mcg, which I now take daily for about 7 months now. But, not everyone experiences the reversal of weight gain after starting medication. I also developed an intolerance to gluten on top of it. I had three major health issues in about 18 months which triggered the intolerance. So that resulted in my having to totally change my diet. I have been on a diet, eating healthy food, watching my intake of calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium and sugar and working out 5-6 days a week for the last almost 5 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. Medication didn''t do it for me. I have to do it myself,
