Going great so far...
Hi,
I've been following a diet suggested by emmaleigh and its only day 4 and things are going great.
I take in 230/230/60 (carb/prot/fat) and total 2500 Cals per day.
Food is mostly oats, chicken, eggs, eggwhites, apple, fish and veggies.
Weight loss is really good:
Day 1: 196.4 lbs
Day 2: 196.6 lbs
Day 3: 194.8 lbs
Day 4: 193.0 lbs
(30 mins of cardio per day also)
I attribute the increase on day 2 to a cheat on day 1. I went to a rodeo and had a huge baked potato with bbq and mayo...
Other than that the pattern is looking good. Clearly a few more weeks of data will be needed but I thought I'd share the progress anyway.
Its pretty amazing really... I mean, I am eating like a beeyatch, more food than I have ever eaten, and can't believe I'm losing!
Thanks emmaleigh and others who helped me tweak.

UNLESS this is your first day dieting, in which case you will lose a fair bit of weight through water loss, FYI i usually start really looking at my weight progress after the first week to compensate for this

The initial weight loss is more than likely water weight. Relax guys...

Ok - well, I'm charting everything, what goes in etc and daily weight.
I guess I'll post after I have a larger data set.
Incidently - why would I be losing water weight??

I think that for the first week, a little more weight loss is to be expected - but keep track of things. If you continue at a rate more than 1.5 to 2 pounds a week then you might want to add a little food to slow it down. As I suggested before - You can see now why I suggested you increase from the 2000 cals you had before! Originally Posted by robousy
You will be loosing water weight because, as your body dips into your energy stores (glycogen) water is also liberated - as it is stored in a ratio of about 1 part glycogen to 3 parts water. So if you loose 1 lb glycogen then you also loose 3 pounds of water.
