Last night I ate two pizzas, munched on peanuts and cheeze-it crisps and I have been eating like this for a while, but I am still losing weight? I was 160 in middle of January and now I weight 152

1. Weight train. Don't completely avoid aerobic exercises. You have to experiment to see how they affect your weight gain. A highly recommended book is Championship Bodybuilding by Chris Aceto.
2. Get more protein. Protein provides the basic building blocks for muscles. It is recommended that you eat your weight in grams. For example, keep your protein between 1-1.5 times your bodyweight. For example, for a 150lb person, he/she would eat between 150g-225g of protein per day. You will not hurt your kidneys by eating this much protein. Unless you have had a kidney removed, your kidneys will not have any problems with this amount.
3. Drink protein shakes. You can also buy protein in powder form. Whey protein is recommended because it is easily absorbed into the body after workouts. Mix it with milk, yogurt, and/or the fruit of your choice. The majority of your protein intake should come from real food, not protein powders.
Eat carbs, especially oatmeal and pasta. Add extra olive oil. While your protein intake will be higher than before, you should consume more carbohydrates than protein.
4. Eat smaller portions of food but more often. Whereas before you may have had 3 meals a day, you could have pseudo-meals in between these. As a general rule, eat every 3 hours. Don't wait till dinner to stuff yourself. Spread out your meal amounts evenly. 6-8 meals per day is feasible.
5. Rid yourself of any preconceived notions that dietary fat is unhealthy. Consume as much unsaturated fat as possible (but avoid saturated and particularly trans fat).
Move a portion of your calorie intake to later in the night, but at least two hours before bedtime.
6. Drink near a gallon to a gallon and a half of water per day

Instead of trying to gain fat by eating junky food, try gaining muscle (muscle is heavier than fat) by exercising (strength training & weight lifting) and eating as high-protein diet. You might lose a little bit of fatty weight at the very beginning but you'll bulk up and get stronger and sexier too.

if you eat more often that is healthy....that means your metabolism is going all day and you burn more calories. that is why you are losing weight....but if you only eat ones a day or so that beans your body is using the fat that is stored in your body which causes you to lose weight....if you have been sick or are ill you can lose weight just by your body trying to fight off the illness..causes people to lose weight..but if you are just losing weight for no reason you might want to go to the doc and see what is going on inside you

This could be something very simple, or very serious. No one on here will be able to give you a valid answer without being a doctor AND examining you. Here is a pretty reasonable rule of thumb though,... when in doubt, see a doctor because you are better off safe than sorry. Good Luck and Good Health!!

You could have an overactive thyroid. It will cause you to lose weight. You need to get a blood test from the doctor.

Do you have pets or are you around animals? If so you might have worms which will cause weight loss. Or you might just have a high metabolism.
