I have been following induction rules and walking everyday and still only lost 1.5lb during my first week. I have always been a slow loser, but I was hoping for better results. However, I did lose almost 4 inches total so, I am ok with that. After going through my menus for the past week I saw that my fat intake was between 40-50% of my diet. Could that be the cause for my slow weight loss? I also drink about 24-36 oz of diet soda a day, which I hear is another product that can hinder wt loss.

Re: First Week -1.5lb
More than 24 oz of soda is above your sweetener limit (8 oz is 1 serving of sweetener). But yes, sodas are definitely something you should stop drinking.Originally posted by mmm9986 View Post
Add more fat, and now that you know you have a tendency to overeat protein, track your menus daily. FitDay is a useful tool, but you can also do it on paper just fine."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: First Week -1.5lb
Thanks for the advice. I have been writing down my menus, but I just set up a FitDay acct ,which I think will be easier for me. I think that some of my problem was that some days I was not eating enough in general. I am going to restart my induction today eliminating diet soda, adding more fat, and eating a consistent and appropriate amount each day.Comment

Re: First Week -1.5lb
Also just because the scale is not moving does not mean you are not losing. You need to take weekly measurements as well to help gauge your inches lost.
I would definitely rid the diet soda and stick to water. I do have one unsweet tea a day if I drink ENOUGH water as a way to get me to drink water because I hate it!!
You can do it - just stay strict and IT WILL COME!!Traci
