Its a common misconception that ingested carbs of some kind gets converted to fat. Actually it takes the body A LOT OF ENERGY to do this type of thing, so it isn't the preferred way to store fat. The body will take fat and store it, but it won't just start randomly converting carbs to fat. Not unless there is some odd imbalances going on. Sometimes the plumpness around the body is assumed to be fat, but can be water mass too.

Other reasons to consider weight gain: medications, thyroid conditions, lack of sleep, too much stress (both cause disruptions in tissue building and can cause the body to store more than release fat), nutrient intake (if you aren't getting enough of one thing, eg. calcium, your body can respond to protect the organs by adding extra "padding", allergies (as i have already mentioned).

So weight loss isn't simple caloric math of exercise and eating.


I hope you are able to find a solution.
