Massive weight gain in two weeks

[nickychick]

Hi there

I just wanted to send a message out to the community and find out if anyone is finding it hard to maintain. I have finished re-feeding about 8 weeks ago and have just been on holiday and have found I have put on about 15kg's in two weeks. This seems VERY excessive weight gain to me for the food I was eating, my husband who is slim-medium sized ate the same food as I did but with added indulgences plus carb heavy beer and gained no weight.

Now I was on holiday so was more relaxed with my eating than usual but didnt eat the eqivilant to gain that amount of weight. As I was in the mediteranian I followed a similar diet to what they eat, below details the average day for me:

Breakfast
Bowl of greek yoghurt with sweetner, x1 slice of bread of toast with banana or bowl of fruit with oats soaked in low fat milk, raisins, nuts

Lunch
Grilled fish and Greek salad with olive oil and x2 slices of bread, fruit like strawberry's/cherries or peach

Dinner
Grilled meat- chicken/ assorted fish/ steak with salad of tomatoes and cucumber x1-x2 slices of bread
2-3 large glasses of wine (but not every day)

Dessert and snacks
Protien bar, dried figs, some chocolate nuts and gelato (but not everyday)


Now I know this isnt angelic but I cant reconcile how I could put on 15kg's from eating this way. I wanted to enjoy my holiday and was very active everyday (rock climing, swimming, hiking, kayaking, canyoning) so ate more than I would at home plus the added wine, nuts and gelato but cant figure out why my body would react so badly. I felt that I needed the extra carbs so I had the energy I needed during the day for the activity level I was achieving.

I am rather upset about the whole thing and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the MASSIVE gain. It seems like my body has just freaked out and held on to everything (plus more) that I ate. Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice they can give?
