Title: 20 Lbs In 4 Days? I eat healthy and exercise regularly 5 to 7 days a week. But this past weekend I non stopped stuffed myself with both good and bad foods from Friday till Today(Monday). Kind of a "Binge" so to speak. I gained 20 pounds. Now is it due to water in the foods I ate, and due to the Total amount of Food I ate? It is humanly impossible to gain 20 pounds of fat in 4 days right?? I am suffering mentally here. If anybody can help me, can you please email me a quick answer if you have the time, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Name: Sean Date: Jul. 9th, 2001 Title: Re: 20 Lbs In 4 Days? 20 pounds? You'd have to have eaten 70,000 EXTRA Calories to gain that much... Forget about the scale, it lies... go by how you look in the mirror, always.

Previous poster has it right except given the tone of your e-mail lets use something less subjective than how you view yourself in a mirror. Do your favorite pairs of pants still fit nicely? Your shirts? Given how much you exercise, and your ordinary eating habits, I wouldn't be suprised if you told me most of that "binging" passed through you quickly, to get a little graphic. =) Get back to your normal routine for a week and check again. Hope that helps. Name: steve Date: Jul. 10th, 2001 Title: Re: 20 Lbs In 4 Days? Your right it is impossible to gain 20lbs in 4 days, but sometimes when you "binge" your body doesn't know how to react so it will store water and fats and anything else that it can. This will make you bloated, and it will increase the bumbers on the scale. My suggestion to you is that you drink ALOT of water. The water you drink will flush out the excess water that your body is storing and it will help your body get rid of extra "stuff" that you are carrying (that could later turn into fat). It would probably also help if you did a little exercise like take walk or something. But if you can't exercise make sure you get the water. -Denise Name: DeSeab Date: Jul. 11th, 2001 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | |
