I was sick for a few days, lost weight, and want to keep it off.?

Question

I was sick for like 2 and a half days... I couldnt relly eat and all i had was water and like some soup. I lost like 5 lbs!! I want to keep it off... its the only good thing that came out of this being sick... But I heard my metabolism will be screwed up and I will gain it all back... Is there any way I can ease into eating again and not gain it back?

Answer 1

Your body is now starving and will soak up whatever you eat to try and get you back to its equalibrium weight. Keeping off that temporary weight is unlikely.

Just cut back your calory intake by 500 calories each day. You will lose a pound a week.
