Weight gain: New weight, fat tissue, usually goes to the area of least resistance which is the abdomen. Every new pound of body fat brings fluid to your body with it. You have to eliminate 500 calories each day for a week to lose one pound of body fat. Slow steady weight loss tends to stay off better than crash diet weight loss.
