Why am I gaining weight after introducing cardio?

I’ve been walking at least an hour everyday, my eating habits haven’t changed and I was losing weight before I added walking into the mix because of my calorie deficit. I take a different route everytime so my body isn’t getting use to it. I’m getting so discouraged If you actually know, please comment??!

You'll be gaining muscle 💪

You may be gaining muscle! And the first few pounds lost are usually water weight. Don’t give up on yourself, you can do this❤️

diet?

Are you eating enough protein to account for the extra workout

water weight, muscle

You won't see the scale change when you gain muscle or water weight. You could take photos, or measurements to see how you change. Or even just get a tight pair of clothes and see how it fits better over time.

Because you’re turning fat into muscle. Don’t look at the scales. Measure your arms legs hips waist w a measuring tape instead and watch the inches go down but not necessarily the scales

You're gaining muscle weight youll eventuallystart seeing weight loss. Being a woman, your weight is going to fluctuate a lot more than a man's based on so many things that happen differently in our bady than theirs. What I recommend is at the same time every day (best is morning before eating, after going to the bathroom), take your weight, and log it. Then you'll start to see progress even when it's slow.

May need to lower intensity.
