The one I've been on since July was kind of similar, but not as much rapid weight loss, as you are seeing. You are really knocking the pounds off! Is Mrs. E doing as well? M can lose weight so much easier than I can. I swear, all he has to do is think about it, and can lose 3-5 pounds.
Mine was a low carb - 30-50 grams per day - high protein, not paying attention to fat content or calories. You really do have to be careful about not enough carbs, though, because your body will think it's starving itself. I went through that, and because I lost too much in to short of time - mid September to early November, my hair has been falling out.
Have now added 5000mg of biotin/per day to my vitamins. Doctor told me Saturday, that once I stabilize, so will my hair. Please God, make it so! Apparently, too rapid a weight loss can have a similar affect on your body, as an eating disorder does.
I've lost 40lb, and that was done by Christmas. I'd still like to lose about 7 more, but the guys and RB told me I was getting too thin. I've pretty much added everything back into my diet, except for excess sweets. The doctor asked me on Saturday how much more I wanted to lose, because he said he didn't want me to lose much more.
Be careful of the non-fat, low-fat, "lite" stuff.....when they take out the fat content, it's replaced with carbs.
The carb content on some of that stuff is incredible. I've become a "nutrition label reader", and have been really surprised by stuff that I thought was supposed to be healthy, is really not.
Any type of berry is good, particularly blueberries. Apples, grapes (
) and oranges are bad. Water amount is supposed to be about 2/3 of your weight.
Because of the low carbs, instead of fueling your body on carbs, you fuel it with stored fat. It's been amazing how the inches have come off!! They came off much faster than the weight loss would have indicated. Seeing the difference in the way my clothes fit, was more encouraging than any weight loss.
