Stopping your effective exercise and modified diet regimen and resuming a less active workout schedule with added carbohydrates resulting in rapid weight gain may be caused by thyroid disease (hypothyroid). See an endocrinologist physician for a detailed analysis of your diet and further testing for guidance.
