When you start a new exercise routine, your body sends water to the new muscle cells and you often see a gain, and then a Whoooooosh a few days later.

You might want to stick to the induction foods list for a couple days to make sure you are in ketosis too. Diet pepsi can be a problem, might try a few days w/o it.

There is unfortunately a lot of things that you arent doing correct here.

1) No vegetable, except for stir fry and carrots. Carrots are not permitted during induction. What other vegetables are in your stir fry? Also, you should split your 3 cups of veggies fairly evenly throughout the day.
2) No diet soda, especially coke in induction.
3) 40 oz of water is no where near enough. You need to drink a minimum of 64 oz a day, plus an extra 8 oz for each 25 lbs you want to lose
4) Most kinds of soup are also illegal during induction, due to the thickening agents used.
5) I am not sure what "diet juice" you are referring to, but it also sounds as though that is incorrect also.
6) tea and coffee are not allowed during induction either. Caffeine is a known staller.

I am sorry if it sounds as though I am being picky and being strict, but you did ask.

I hope this helps

U see the thing is i know that caffein or diet soda is goine to stallllll my weight loss..but for heaven sake not even 1 pound, their are poeple who lose weight by just excersisng alone and a regular diet and pleeese dont tell me about gaining muscle. not losing any weight is not normal for a person who has been working out as hard as i have been, thats 14 days in a row for 1 hour ! i dont get sore anymore from the work out...i actually feeling like giving up the work out

Re: Help..I cant lose weight

there are some people who will lose by excercise alone, and some wont. I guess you fall in the "some won't" category.

Muscle does weight more than fat btw, so that is another big possibilty.

Cut out the carrots, caffeine and soda and see what happens. You may be surprised.

Also, what is the "diet juice"?

Gaining muscle is a reality. Did you happen to take measurements?
