So I put on 300g yesterday. I consumed less than 1200 cals and not enough water... that's the problem.
I find when I drink 2-3l a day and eat exactly 1200 cals I have a loss!
I also just got my period so I could be bloated.
I am hiking a fair bit too. I do at least 5km per day. If I don't walk I don't loose... I tried to be lazy but it just didn't work.
Maybe if you bump up the intensity it might help?
What's your meal plan like?
Water is important under any circumstances. I would think you'd need at least 2L per day.
I consume an average of 1,100 calls per day. We eat whole foods in my house which is good.
After 5 whole days on Duro I've only lost 1.5kg total and I want to complain but I can't help but feel I should be grateful.
I'm expecting a gain tomorrow because today I only burned 2,400cals where over the previous days I've burned 2,600-3,100cals and I've eaten 1,193cals. It has been a very rainy day today so walking was slowed and I only went out in the weather once. I'm trying to make peace with it now before bed so I don't cry on the scales tomorrow.
I feel like the effects of the Duro is wearing off because I have no symptoms (like no jitters and no cotton mouth anymore and my resting heartrate has slowed to normal and my heart rate is back in the 50's and 60's when I'm sedentary. but in the last four days it has been higher. Also when I did walk, my heart rate escalates into the fat burn zone very quickly but now I have to shuffle/semi-jog to get it up to 92bpm which hurts my knees too much.
Is this possible that it's wearing off?
Don't stress about the gain - many factors can influence that from retention of water, retention of waste or periods. I'm always 2-4kg heavier every 28 days
