Will the weight gain be avoided by doing just walking as daily exercise instead?

Whenever I go on a cut I cant get lean. I will lose fat for the first week and then will gain it back over the course of a couple weeks. This cycle continues over and over. I stay in a 500 calorie deficit and get over 10, 000 steps a day while still working out. I’ve talked to my doctor and he has no idea

I'm curious how doing a 4 hour mountain climb and dancing in ONE day, accompanied by NO FOOD that same day, shot my weight up by 3kgs in 4 days! The rest of that week, I exercised and kept my diet at a 300 calorie deficit, and still, I kept gaining every day. I eat high protein whole foods only. No sweets, no junk, no takeout, low carb, no sugar, etc etc.
As a personal trainer and dietitian myself, I am flabbergasted by this past 4 days' insanity.

I cut carbs, drink alot of water, go to the restroom regularly, and eat only 1000 and i fast why am i still gaining weight

I had recently (2021-2022) lost 96 lbs. Over then last year, I gained 10 lbs back. 3 weeks ago, I started walking 4 miles every day and cut my calories to 1352 (using an app) and cutting out sweets, etc. I started losing weight and now it is going back up. I am 63. Does this mean that these walks have sabotaged my weight loss? Reduction of calories? Drinking too much water? I’m beside myself and ready to give up. 😢😢

It’s not a medical document on obesity an diabetes, duh an if your obese, your probably not running, or you’ll have another problem, bad knees, runners don’t have diabetes or hypertension, obese people do, it’s a lifestyle an that’s what the elliptical or walking is for, athletes run, obese people walk ( if that)

[VannApragal]

You are missing the 2 biggest points. 'Diabetes and hypertension'. When giving advice, it is important to take into consideration what most obese people are suffering from. 🤣
