Hello! I just want to share something quickly with you, because summer is approaching and we are all struggling with some diets, I guess. In short - in principle I am 60 kg, 175 cm. I eat mostly healthy, but I do not limit myself to carbohydrates (black bread, potatoes, rice). Well, I recently spent about 2 weeks eating all sorts of high-calorie junk - pizza, McDonald's, lots of jam, lots of beer. I weighed myself after this period and weighed 58 kg - 2 less! To find out that I'm not bragging, there is a sequel - immediately after that I spent another 2 weeks eating only healthy things, and even with a restriction of carbohydrates. I ate mostly eggs, meat, salads and some fruit. Finally I weighed myself and ... I weighed 60 kg again! That is, I had gained 2 kilograms back. What I wanted to ask you is - has it happened to you? And what do you think is the reason? Do you think that the metabolism actually slows down when a person limits himself too much and therefore gains weight (although I didn't limit myself brutally, I consumed about 1500 calories a day)? Or rather, it is something on a mental basis - is it really possible when we do what makes us happy (in this case - eat whatever we want), to affect us in some positive way (in this case - to lose weight)?

Food is calories, no matter what metabolism you have, you will not gain weight from the air. Your judgment is not sober.
Weight varies a lot depending on various factors, I would not attach such importance.
With a diet, the body is initially stressed and retains weight. It is important in these periods what physical activity you have. Two weeks is nothing like diet time.
Two kilograms is too little to draw such conclusions. The scale may be placed at an angle or give a defect. It can be from retained water or a full stomach with water and food. Motor activity may be reduced. In addition, healthy foods also make you fat, even easier, because they are better absorbed and contain everything necessary for the growth and recovery of the body, whatever you eat sticks, and with unhealthy foods the waste is greater.
