As said in the previous posts, you should aim to lose 10% of your weight loss in the first 2 weeks of induction. If you have 100 lbs to lose, then you may well lose 10lbs! But if you have 20lbs to lose, you won't lose 10lbs in such a short period of time.
Seeing as you don't have much weight to lose maybe 30lbs/14kg at the most, you should be aiming to have lost 3lbs or 1.4kg, which you very nearly did! So that's great.
Also, if you've been exercising, you have probably gained muscle, which weighs more than the fat you've lost.




Well done! You've made a great start!

hey stephbob
thxx alot for the guidance..i didnt knew this 10% thing b4 this..now im feeling much better..i hope to loose weight soon..hey just one last question..in my induction phase if i consume a bit more carbs than the 20g limit apxx 25 or 30 g sumday will it mke a big difference??
plzz do rep.thxx

In induction, you need to follow the DANDR book by the letter for the optimum results - in the further stages (once you've finished Induction) you can eat more carbs, but in induction you really need to stay at 20g and do induction properly or you'll be complaining that you're not losing weight!
