see your medical provider first. a few blood tests can determine if you have an underlying metabolic reason (hypothyroid for example). not all weight gain is adipose tissue (fat); some can be fluid. your medical provider can determine if you are having issues with edema (fluid retention). clearly something has changed. you have gained about a pound a week so an increased intake as little as 500 calories a day more than you need or less calorie expenditure could easily account for the weight gain. before you see your doctor keep a food diary (accurate and honest amounts please) for several days or a week. this will give your medical provider a good idea of your calorie intake. a dietician or nutritionist can also help you solve this dilemma. have you been taking a new medication? i was put on lyrica and had no idea of the side affects i gained 30lbs in less then 3 months and asked my doc at next appointment and she changed them. but lots of meds have dif side affects on dif people. the most important reason for this is definiltely a decrease in your metabolism! you should try hard to boost your metabolism. here are a few things you should try: - start strength work outs - eat much protein especially after work outs - drink 3 litres of water every day - arrange 6 meals per day! hope this will help! same thing happened to me i gained 13 pounds over a period of 3. 5 months without changing my diet nor taking any new medication i was taking two hard courses and was very stressed out. so it could be caused by the cortisol stress hormone since blood tests haven't shown anything wrong with my body. i haven't gained any weight after that damn semester was over. unfortunately i am still struggling to get rid of them! you must take some fat burner for your health. healthgenie provides lots of health benifits on discount. call now or visit our website. <link>
