Nardil weight gain - What on earth is happening?!?

Posted by tapiocamonk on February 17, 2008, at 16:16:27

Dear All,

Anyone know what to make of this weirdness:

I weighed myself on January 30th, about a month into my Nardil therapy and about two weeks after I had hit my effective dose of 60mg. I weighed 170lbs (I'm a 5'8" male with a goal of 155lbs - down from peak wait of 215lbs last year).

A few days later, I began a very serious workout program at a boot camp in NYC (http://purepowerbootcamp.com/). It's an hour/day, 4 days/week of some of the most strenuous exercising I have ever done. A tone of cardio; it's just completely intense. I've also started lifting weights in the past week at a gym in addition to the boot camp.

My diet has been consistent (I eat a low carb diet and have with great success for many months), though my portions (of things like roast chicken and turkey, mind you) have increased a bit since starting the intense workout.

I was expecting to weigh somewhere in the mid 160s when I weighed myself this morning for the first time since my January 30th weigh in. Instead, I was shocked to see that I now weigh 184lbs!!!!. That's a 14lb gain in just over two weeks, as is about 20lbs more than I was expecting to weigh.

My pants seem to be fitting looser or at least just as loose as they were fitting a few weeks ago, but the scale still says 184 (and I checked it on a second scale). Some of this could be muscle, but that couldn't be anywhere near the 14-20lb overweight number that I was hit with.

Anyone have any ideas or think this could/couldn't be Nardil related? Some of it could be retained food as I'm definitely constipated (but 14lbs of constipation - is that even possible???).

please advise!
