Over the summer, I found that once I ate a meal that was outside of my super strict (and honestly, restrictive), low cal/low carb meal plan, I would bloat/gain weight that would take a few days to lose. Things like eating a small serving of fries or going to ramen were causing me huge set backs and it just was not normal.
I told a friend, who was alarmed at how low my daily calorie intake was and how little weight I was losing, and only gaining. She recommended me to get on a reverse diet, slowly up-ing my calories each week to get back to a normal intake point. I incorporated only healthy, high protein foods in my diet - Greek yogurt, almond butter, oats, low carb wheat wraps.

For the past month or so, I’ve tried to get back to a low carb, low cal meal plan, but the scale has not dropped a lick. I am really at a loss now.
