Bristol Palin on 'Dancing with the Stars': Why is she gaining weight despite rigorous exercise?
Bristol Palin has surprised judges and viewers alike with her improvement on "Dancing with the Stars," but the single mom has also sparked one particular question.
How the heck is she not losing weight on this show?
The ABC reality competition requires contestants to dance for hours on an almost daily basis if they want to last as long as Palin has. "DWTS" alum Kelly Osbourne credits her stint on the show as a catalyst for her 50-pound weight loss. And as fellow competitor Kyle Massey has demonstrated, the intense exercise can cause pounds to seemingly melt away.
But not always.
Last month, Palin herself acknowledged that she hadn't shed any weight while on the show.
"I haven't really noticed a change in [my body]," she told "Access Hollywood." "I think most people lose weight [on the show] because they're too stressed out to eat. I haven't had that problem!"
Photos of the petite 20-year-old in May compared to images from last Monday's episode suggest she might have actually gained a few pounds – but it's totally normal, experts say.
"Anyone who participates in any type of vigorous, regular physical activity could potentially gain weight," says Elisa Zied, a registered dietician and author of "Nutrition at Your Fingertips."
When people work out, they tone their muscles and "muscle weighs more than fat," Zied adds.
