gaining back lost weight

<gaining back lost weight>

First, get a checkup to make sure you don't have a physical
problem...unless the weight loss was intentional.

Eating more calories than I burn puts weight on
me.........fast.

How old are you?

In other words you're on an Atkins diet. It's going to kill
you if you keep it up. Start eating like a normal human
being and you will get back to a normal weight. I'm not
saying eating junk food, but a well balanced meal, and a few
snacks too.

I have a slight problem. I am a 5'10" male and used to
weigh 167lbs, but now I weigh only 115lbs. Obviously I lost
a significant amount of weight and am attempting to regain
it, but I need advice as to how to do it. I'm working out
every other day and am on a high protein diet. I basically
warm up for 10 minutes on the treadmill and go through the
Nautilus circuit of eight machines, which work the major
arm and leg muscles. I've been increasing the weights each
day I go, with which I have no problem, but I don't seem to
be gaining weight (at least that's what the scales tell
me). Is there anything else I need to do? Also, does anyone
have any recommendations? Thanks for the help.

My inexpert opinion is that your caloric intake isn't enough
to maintain your present weight. I've known ppl who run/work
out/etc. and they say they _cannot_ do as much on a high
protein diet as on one with more carbs. Carbohydrates are
the _fuel_ part of the diet. Ppl who run long distance eat
lots of them. Add a bit more of "good carbs" to you diet,
and see what happens.

Is anything else going on? You feel OK, right? Did the
weight loss start with your workouts? That's a lot of
weight. Have you seen a doctor?

The weight loss occurred basically over two years. I lost
quite a bit one summer during an archaeological dig (due to
not eating much and lots of physical labor), then during the
following year I lost most of it in the period of a couple
months. I started exercising to get in shape, but in the
meantime I didn't eat much, so I ended up losing a lot of
weight. As a result, I felt extremely weak, and consequently
I ended my exercise routines. Recently, I started to eat
more, and I began a work out program. Since then, I've felt
much better and have had much more energy, so perhaps, this
is the beginning stages of my recovery.
