Congratulations on your weight change.

Just be sure to regularly keep an eye on your cholesterol and periodically check your bone density. Heck, it would probably be a good idea to get full blood work at least annually.

If you're going to go to extremes, it's best you keep a physician as a part of your team.

You've only been on this for two months. If you're going to stay on this kind of diet, you should keep an eye on your numbers. Long-term effects should be a concern of yours.

Also, you should probably consider taking a multivitamin if you aren't already.
