I've seen this sort of weight gain with other folks who went vegan. They were constantly hungry and craved sweets and carbs.
I took over my managing my mom's diet 10 years ago when I saw her weight balloon to nearly 200 lbs (on a tiny frame)... Just by changing to a healthy but satisfying diet with plenty of meat, eggs and traditional sources of protein we've gotten her weight back down below 130. Same diet that got my own weight down from 205 to 160, gradually and with little sensation of making any sacrifices. I stopped paying attention to the dietary guidelines about red meat, animal fat, butter and eggs and just ate those as often as I wanted Getting old is fun. :rolleyes: :50: Now I gorge myself on eggs and lamb and rye bread, fresh fruit and vegetables like you. Cheese, nuts, anything that is unprocessed basically. I love coffee though and increasingly tea and I switched sugar for natural honey I buy off a bee keeper. Honey I discovered is totally different from cane sugar, totally! It's processed by the Liver whereas sugar is processed by insulin from the pancreas. Honey many believe is associated with improved liver health and reduced risk of liver disease. Whereas heavy sugar intake often leads to pancreatitis. Anyway... this isn't going to turn into a medical rant. Sure I have KFC or some such crap, once a month with friends, and when someone makes me a coffee I don't insist on honey, you can't be religious about it or you'll make yourself a social outcast like most vegetarians are. But you have to break the old habits too, and that does take about 2~3 months of obsessive adherence to a natural eating diet I found. These are the benefits of maturing hey CC. We are no longer slaves to peer pressure and fashion, we can take full control of our lives and change for the better. :50: |

No, the real problem is you have become obsessed with your body, you have body dysmorphia, you should seek professional help. I'm not joking, I'm a clinical psychologist by profession.

My weight fluctuates all day. I usually end the day 5 or 10 pounds heavier than I start it, no matter what I eat or how much I exercise. Of course, I never fast. |
A 16 hour fast works for me, repeated as often as I can tolerate it.
5 days without food, a nasty spell of food poisoning took me out for almost a week many years ago. I even gave up red meat and dairy for almost a year after that episode, and then one day I went back to my usual diet and have never gone more than a day without food. |
3 1/2 pages of replies mentioning gluconeogenesis, procedures for weighing and psychological issues and no one has mentioned the use of a percent body fat scale? That could give the OP something new to obsess about/utilize to determine just what he is gaining or loosing when his weight changes.

LOL! At least she has an excuse. I didn't/still don't eat junk food. (Might want to tell your sis that there almost always animal-based products hiding in all those baked goods, under different names, such as dough conditioners and various hard-to-pronouince chemicals, etc.)
As for your experience, well yes, I know from personal experience it's hard as hell to drop a few KG when you get past 50. But as I said to this morbidly obese woman once who was claiming that her hormones made her fat, I said "a broad cross section of genotypes went into Trabinka and Austwich and they all came out skinny, weight is a function of how many calories you're eating." She didn't like that :foo: |

BTW, they are mock-cream buns, and she probably has a vegen cake shop, but sugar is the killer, it's fat in waiting. |

That's all I was curious about. The vegan + cream thing confused me.

This thread has gone off the rails. It was posted in the wrong forum, as well.
