Me, too. I fell for the low-fat/high-carb hook, line, and sinker. I was a fanatic about it. No fat would pass my lips. I had breakfasts of dry toast, lunch was a dry bagel, tuna with no-fat Miracle Whip, and a half an apple, and dinner was often pasta and chicken breasts cooked with no fat. I also exercised furiously, up to an hour a day, 5 to 6 times a week.
Guess what. I gained. A lot. This was during one summer during which I wrote down EVERYTHING I ate and every exercise session I did. Never more than around 1100 calories, fat below 20% (probably below 10%). I even went to the doctor to ask why I was gaining weight. He referred me to a nutritionist (who looked anorexic, if you asked me!). She asked what I ate the night before. Well, my mother had just recently had a stroke and came (from Michigan) to live with us. She really wanted pizza, so I had 2 slices of pizza that night -- something I hadn't done in months.
So, back to the nutritionist. She asked what I ate the night before. I told her about the 2 slices of pizza. Well, no wonder you're gaining weight, eating like that! I explained that this was a rare occurrence, and tried to show her my journal. She wasn't interested. She told me to eat the same things every day. For lunch she recommended a dry baloney sandwich and an apple. Baloney?
Well, long story short, that's exactly what I said. BALONEY!
