I started following E-diets low carb diet one week ago. I have heard all these people talk about losing 5-10 pounds the first week. Well, I have been absolutely careful....eating below 20grams of carbs a day, lots of meat, quit caffeene and have been drinking 64 ounces of water a day and today was my weigh-in...only 3 pounds down. I guess I was just expecting more. This diet is very hard on me because I love sweets, pastas and breads, so to cut that down to 20 grams has been torture and I know I have to keep going because my goal weight is 50 pounds less than where I am now....please, some words of wisdom and encouragement here!🙂 Thanks
