WDF!!! Can someone please explain this?

[Griz1]

O.K. so beyond my control (mostly), I go on a trip for 9 days. On the trip I subjected myself for both convenience sake, and because I haven't done it in a loooong time, to eating a TON of pizza, smoked meat sandwiches, fries, fried chicken, poutine (guess where I was Canadians?), a TON of breads, soda pops, and about a million other calorie laden, fast-food goodies loaded with grease and trans fat.

I get back into my excersise today starting with a cardio day and a couple of sets on the weights just to remind my muscles that they still work for me and they weren't fired or anything.

I step on the scale.

I LOST 5 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!

WDF???

This was not a day or so, but 9, yes NINE days where I did absolutely NO EXCERSISE AT ALL. Mostly sitting in a hospital chair (not me) or on a couch. All I basically did and looked forward to was pigging out on garbage!

Of course I'm not mad or anything, I'm actually delighted! However at the same time I'm baffled.

Does this mean now that I'm eating clean again, I'm going to "gain weight"...lol! I hope not...

Can anyone explain this???

It appears the influx of food sped up your metabolism and bettered your leptin levels.

That's a good thing, but it won't keep being a positive like this for long. If you keep that going, it will lead to fat gain of course.

yeh man when i went to italy, i ate all the dame time, drank wine, etc... I actually didn't gain weight at all and in fact it sped my metabolism up

Damn! I was hopin for a pizza diet plan...LOL!

Seriously, I'm back on "the wagon" now and in the gym. Hopefully it contributed to my goals and I got lucky there. We'll see in another couple of weeks.

Thanks for the response guys!

Poutine is an art, not a recipe!

Poutine = 10,000 of the worse calories

But when you're stuck in the middle of Chibougamau it can save your life
