I'm down 7 lbs. in just over a week, even after a weekend where following the diet exactly was hard (lots of eating out/beer). Weight loss stalled over the weekend and I came out of ketosis, but now I'm back in moderate ketosis. I've been monitoring that with the pee sticks.
The diet program I've been using to monitor my intake and nutrients has been jacking up my calorie budget (it adjusts based on what it calculates to be your metabolism) and chastises me for not eating enough calories, but one of the things with this diet is that it does not take a lot of food to make you feel full, and so even without worrying about calories, I'm still under my calorie budget. I'm even still under a self-calculated budget of 1800 calories--I've been averaging between 1200-1500 a day. It's crazy!
