I wish I had my amount of fat measured when I was at 197 pounds and at
168 pounds.

On the one hand water loss is fast but limited - Glygogen is stored by
dissolving it in water.  It is far more common to lose under 10 pounds
than over 10 pounds of water-plus-glygogen.

On the other hand doing the calorie arithmetic anything over 2 pounds
per week is probably something other than fat.  Two pounds per week is
1000 calories net lost per day and human metabolism in starvation mode
is lower than that.  Generally folks who lose over 2 pounds per week
still have 100+ pounds to lose and their bodies are dropping stored fat
faster than they are burning it for fuel.

Neither of the common situations apply to you so it must be something
else.  Unless you are now running a daily marathon it's not fat that you
are losing.

I'll offer a guess - I bet when you quit low carbing the last time you
regained that quickly as well.  I suspect some particular ingredient or
food that causes bloating or inflamation.  As the residual effects of
that ingredient drop off so does the bloating of inflamation.  Since
bloating is not limited by stored glycogen carbs the body can have a lot
more of it.

It's just a guess on my part but it is one way to explain the events.

You can not have lost 25 pounds of fat in 45 days without running a
marathon every few days or that level of exercise some other way.  That
is the level of exercise done by contestants on The Bifggest Loser who
spend all day on a treadmill when they are not doing some other type of
exercise.  You can not have lost 25 pounds of glycogen-plus-water, or
muscle mass or bone mass by any healthy means.

Thus you're either losing it by some extremely unhealthy method or you
started with something extremely unhealthy and it is now resolving
itself.

If my guess is right there is some food ingedient that you stopped
eating.  I tend to supect grain but that's because I am wheat intolerant
and biased.  If my guess is right when you start eating that ingredient
again you regain at a pound a day.  The stuff would be really bad for
you, much worse than for most people, and trigger an addictive behavior
pattern in you.

When you cheat is it with one specific food and do you end up falling
completely off the wagon for a very large regain?  If my guess is right
that's what would happen to you.
