What Causes Sudden Weight Gain?
I am a 66-year-old female. What would cause a weight gain if I have been monitoring my caloric intake and have actually been below 1800 calories per day, but am gaining weight. I am moderately active, but no high-intensity workouts. No health issues that I am aware of.
