    probably because you used to eat only 3 tacos from jack in the box and you used to play soccer, now you eat 30 lbs of veggie food and no exercise?

    hope u get the point :D

    I know what you mean. I would never gain weight when I eat junk food and when I tried eating healthy foods, I started to gain weight. Not too much, mind you but I don't understand why this happened either. Maybe because if we eat junk food with lots of fat, we get full pretty quickly which prevent us to eat more but if we eat healthy foods, we get hungry often? Just a thought.

    Your body is used to the crap food and when you switched to healthy food your body said' What the heck is this, I can't live from this' so it started to store fat in case you continued to neglect your body's basic need for a Big Mac.

    Healthy eating and regular exercise is the key. Invest in a stationary bike. :)

    Vegetables contain a lot of carbohydrates. Eat too much carbs and you will gain weight. I suggest eating things in moderation.

    That clearly proven the difference between having junk food and healthy foods. Junk foods do not digest well. Healthy foods digests well and increase the body metabolism and makes you healthy. Because now you are healthy, you are gaining weight.

    ^^ You can be healthy and maintain your current weight. Gaining weight is more about consuming excess calories then what your body requires.
