When u stop working out

[DJinTraining06]

I feel like whenever i stop workin out for a week or so, for reasons beyond my control usually, i end up putting on weight fast. Does anybody else have this happen to them? It's like the body just stores the crap out of every thing u eat. I've noticed it a few times now, where im in a great routine working out 3-4 times a week, then i stop for a week/week and a half. I then seem to get this little layer of fat on my belly after like a week or so. It seems so quick for that to happen. Is that normal?

two possibilities:

(1) it's genetic. oh well! keep exercising

(2) something in your diet -- probably too many simple carbs -- is loading it on for you.

The fat gain diddnt happen that fast before i worked out. it seems much faster when i have been working out and then stop. Either that or my metabolism has slowed down a ton now that im 25. I used to eat monstrous amounts of food and never went above 145 since high school. Now i gotta watch wat i eat all the time.
