Losing weight too quickly (cutting)

dwolfe1985

So i started dieting as i want to get leaner and see where my weight training has got me, checked my reports and lost 2.2kg in a month! Expected some water weight dropping because im on like 150-200g less carbs but geez.

A big initial drop is normal due to water weight. It should begin to level out. However, if you are still loosing too quickly, adjust your goals and eat a bit more.

ETA: 2.2kg is just under 5lbs, which is a perfectly healthy loss for a month.

That's really not anywhere near a loss rate that you should be concerned about. Even if it was like a kg a week, that'd be fine.

Thanks guys and girls, first diet and was a bit anxious about losing all my hard earned strength if i dieted too fast. Think my misconception was regarding leaner people lol.
