B vitamins and weight gain

I really thought it was natural weight gain from winter time. I hit my healthy weight and stayed there with absolutely no problems for over 6 months.

Correlation with my healthy weight going up 18lbs, then even with a purposely planned *caloric deficit* I can’t break 13lbs

left me scratching my head since Thanksgiving!

It’s been months and my pants are still tight. I still exercise 4x a week, walk, I’m not sedentary.

what gives?

I already knew that I started to put this extra thickness on with the nutritional yeast introduction to my diet but;

I have looked up nutritional yeast specifically. the data suggested

“Nutritional yeast is not a factor in weight gain because it isn’t high in calories”

So I’ve been eating it, only 80 calories worth a day.

Finally I looked at the back of the bag and it’s 600%+ of almost all B vitamins per serving. That’s giving me 1,200%+ of all B vitamins every single day (I usually have 2 servings throughout the day)

So I *finally* Google “B vitamins and weight gain”

Boom, let’s go

>B vitamins are a known fat gain promoting factor. Food fortification-induced high vitamin consumption is followed by a rapid increase in obesity prevalence.

There was an old thread here from 7 months ago that people were asking for updates on even last week, figured I’d share this information in hopes that it helps anyone who was in the same boat.
