My high fiber, high protein, low fat, medium carb diet failed!

Question
I have tried nearly every "trick" there is.  Many pills, many exercise routines and all "diets." Healthy and unhealthy I have tried it all-extreme diets and weight watcher points.  I recently joined a gym, ate "healthy" high fiber, high protein, low fat, medium carb in take and still gained 6 pounds over the course of 3 weeks while keeping overall calories around 1000, I know it isn't muscle since I am still flabby and my pants are getting tight in my thighs and rear...What is it? How do I get rid of the 6 and get to my goal of 10?

Answer
Dear Megan,

If a 'high fiber, high protein, low fat, medium carb' diet  failed working for you, the most likely reason is in the 'medium carb' part of it. The low fat can also make its contribution as well as the 1000 Cal. energy restriction, which just couldn't fail pushing your body into starvation mode.

But was a diet addressing metabolic resistance, insulin sensitivity, and essential fats on your "trick" list? If not, this is what I suggest you learn more about:
