Answer 1

When you begin to exercise intensively and regularly, you body's metabolism begins to drop so that it is able to preserve energy when it really needs it during your workouts. Most people think that the metabolism increases because of exercises. This is only true for people who have sedantroy lifestyle and begins to do light exercises.

So why are you gaining weight? Energy preserved is greater then energy expanded during workout. Perhaps you have a really efficient body system. You'll probably be the last person standing in the event of a famine.

Try to avoid meals at least 2 hrs before you sleep. Have lighter meals at night. Focus on aerobic exercies (long distance running, cycling etc) for at least 30mins at each go. Do it 5 times a week if possible. Do not use BMI as a benchmark. Go for body fats percentage as the true measurement of whether you are gaining or losing weight.

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also. 2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don't have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes. 3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there. 4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max. Source(s):

Answer 4

Have your doctor check a) your thyroid levels, b) your adrenal glands and cortisone levels and c) for cardiovascular problems. These areas can cause weight gain related to the body holding onto water. Also, if you are female, hormonal changes can make a difference. Being on the pill or certain medications can cause weight gain or inability to lose weight.

Answer 5

Maybe you are getting smaller. Have you tried checking to see if you are losing inches anywhere (like your waist or hips)?

Muscle is heavier than fat. So if you gain (muscle) weight you can still lose inches when you lower your bodyfat percentage and not see any net loss of weight.

Answer 6

It depends on how long you have been doing this. If it has been several weeks and your not losing but gaining then you could have a thyroid condition. You might want to go see a doctor. Best of luck to you. Don't give up.

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories
in the food you eat should be less than the
energy you use. You will have to increase your
metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will
lose weight faster. More details available at

Answer 8

Maybe you are losing fat but gaining muscle - muscle is heavier than fat - you should just worry about whether you feel better and look better. Your general health and well being are more important than a number assigned to your body mass.
