This can be normal for a lot of folks. It is the sugar. But if you can keep healing and make it to the step when sugar is removed,after that you will probably start losing. It is different for each of us. And the gaining part can be scary. I want healing so I hung in there. I didn't gain but I didn't lose through the steps. It wasn't until I added exercise regularly that I began to lose. But remember each of us is different and the program works different for each of us.
