Question Few Questions I have

I am a new member here and I just wanted to find out a few things from those who have been on this diet and been successful.

1st) I have been on the diet for 6 days now and my weight seems to fluctuate 1 or 2 pounds up and down this whole time. Is this normal??

2nd) I hae been monitoring my level of Ketosis with the test strips you can get and they have been on the high end of Ketones detected, but I have not lost anything yet. Is this to be expected??

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Cowgirl!

Scale fluctuations are normal, and some people are slow starters especially if they've yo-yo dieted.

Can you tell us what you've been eating? We may be able to advise you on some trouble spots if we know your daily menus.
