How Long Before Starting to Put on Weight

[Frankie123]

A few weeks ago I had really acute anxiety and depression and almost overnight lost 6lbs in weight. Things have calmed down a bit now and although I am eating properly I have not put any weight back on. Does anyone have any idea on how long it takes to replace the weight you lost.

I lost almost 3st in weight in around 10 weeks during a really bad spell of anx/depression between July and September this year. I am eating fairly normally now but my weight has still not increased! It has remained stable though for the past couple of months.

Had various tests through GP just to ensure no underlying issues but it seems it's just my anxiety and low mood that caused the weight loss. Doc says I may put weight back on when I am out of the situation I am currently in, although my anxiety is greatly reduced, my mood is very up & down.

If you are worried about your weight, please speak to your GP.
