Is it because of them pills? The way I eat? Like idk why I been gaining, normly I stay at one weight, I been it for like 5yrs and now PUFF, I ain't and I wanna get it back to my norm weight, any ideas?

Answer 1

many vitamins have soy in them, thats causes you to gain weight. but other than that since you are getting older your metabolism may be slowing down. do you work out? that may help ALOT! even walking 30 minutes can boost ur muscle and inturn ur metabolism.

Answer 2

Exercise and less salt. The problem is almost never that you have put on weight as fat - that would require 3500 calories per pound of fat (managing to eat 7000 calories more than your diet requires in 2 days would be nearly impossible). Anyway, the weight gain is almost definately due to increased salt intake, leading to your body holding more water. The water obviously has a weight and so that's why you seem to be heavier. This is just a temporary thing and so I seriously advice you NOT to go on a sudden diet or stop eating. However, exercise is always a good thing, and as long as you're not pushing yourself further than your bones were designed then it's fine. As well as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising a lot will help with your overall fitness and increase your happiness (seriously). So I hope that clears it up for you, you probably haven't gained weight as fat, and so have nothing to worry about - but exercise is always a good thing.

Answer 3

you gain when you consume more than spend during the day (calories)
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 4

not to sure what mult is but the answer has to be in something else you are doing possibly eating habbits.
