Medication Weight Gain

Hey all! So I rejoined WW a little over a month ago while in the midst of doctor visits and diagnoses. I did lose weight pretty rapidly, partly WW and partly because I was barely eating. I was initially diagnosed with pancreatitis, also turns out I have Crohn's Disease and was flaring. I've been put on corticosteroids and was either losing or maintaining until last week. I've stayed on plan, but I was eating a more normal amount of food as compared to before when I couldn't eat. I'm not sure if my body was gaining some weight back because I was eating again or if the medication is causing weight gain or water retention.

At first, I was upset and figured this is just an exercise in futility if the meds are going to cause weight gain anyway. Now, I think I'm more in the mindset of staying on WW to offset additional gain and I'm starting to get back to the gym. I couldn't work out or do much of anything. It's just hard to see the scale go up when I know I'm doing everything right.

Anyone have experience with meds, weight loss/gain, or autoimmune diseases and WW?

9 Things You Can Do Daily To Help Reduce Cellulite

Image
We’re just going to start off by saying that although cellulite may not be the most pleasant thing to have to deal with, it is in fact, totally normal, with an estimated 80 to 90 per cent of women over the age of 25 having cellulite to some degree. Further to this, cellulite doesn’t discriminate, affecting women of all ages and body types (yes, even those who are super lean) — and whilst there is no quick fix or miracle cure, the good news is that there are a few things you can do on a daily basis to help keep those dreaded dimples away. Here, we explain what they are, with the help of trusted naturopath and founder of Edible Beauty , Anna Mitsios. Image: Edible Beauty “ The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that typically occurs on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, caused by fat deposits that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin,” Anna tells Sporteluxe . Anna explains that although the exact cause of cellulite is not known, things such a

A Nutritionist On 4 Things To Consider When It Comes To Vegan Supplements

Image
Written by nutritionist, Steph Geddes . For those who may not be aware, vegans do not consume any animal products so essentially remove meat, poultry, eggs, seafood or dairy from their diet. They also don’t consume products made from animal sources such as broths, gelatine and honey. Therefore their diet consists solely of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.  Whilst this can be considered a very healthy way of eating if the focus is on getting a very well balanced variety of wholefoods foods in one’s diet, it can also mean that vegans may rely on processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars and products full of additives and preservatives as their base diet. If you’re vegan and struggle to get a minimum of 5-7 serves of vegetables, 2-3 serves of fruit as well as plenty of varied grains, legumes, nuts and seeds per day then you should  definitely consider a supplement. Even on a non-vegan very healthy, wholefood based diet, it can be a diff
