thereluctantrawfoodist: Obsessing over each meal  and weighing oneself everyday, many times a day, is futile. I used to do this when I could not understand why I was putting on weight especially while I was following a weight watchers regime.  Weight fluctuates. In my experience, this is when I have eaten and especially when I have recently eaten something that my body cannot deal with very well. When I stopped eating all foods containing processed sugar I dropped about 7 lb in a week. This was obviously not fat loss. I did not stop eating thousands of calories or starve myself in any way, I just cut out my daily sweet stuff.  I wasn’t eating that much but I was regularly eating processed foods containing sugar. As I cut out the sugar I added in lots of fresh fruit to compensate but the weight still just dropped away. I believe my body must have been bloating while dealing with the sugar which was poison to me.
