Can you lose too much too quickly?

I've went from eating what I want when I want to staying within my nutritional guidelines. I've went from basically seditary to doing the 30 day shred nearly daily.
I've lost 6lbs in 10 days. It's that too much? Are there drawbacks?

Well the major drawback would be taking that as read as your weight loss because starting a new diet and water weight - it's quite common to get a huge loss up front and then it slow down or even stop
Keep going for 6-8 weeks and take an average weight loss per week over that time period .. if you are losing more than your goal adjust your calorie intake so that you take in more0 -
The initial huge drop is to be expected but after the first 1 - 2weeks a sensible and safe weight loss should slow to 1 - 2lbs a week.

Most likely water and totally normal. With 49 pounds to lose, you can do 1.5-2 pounds and will adjust it lower as you lose.0

Was it 10 days ago that you started? If so - you probably lost a lot of fluid as part of that weight. See what happens over a slightly longer period of time to get a more accurate picture of the speed with which you are losing the weight. For the rest - it's hard to tell if you are going at it to aggressively without having your stats (height, weight, number of calories you consume daily, activity level etc)0

The initial huge drop is water weight, when someone has a lot to lose thats perfectly normal...you'll find weight loss will slow down to 1 - 2lbs a week and this is more normal. All the best in your weight loss journey0

Also try not to burn out
Remember the Tortoise and the Hare
We all make a huge commitment at the start and can do it on willpower .. the trick is to find a way that you can stick to for the long-haul
good luck0 -

I wish I had the problem of losing too much, too fast. If I were you, I'd enjoy it.

That was my next question! How much (if any?) Calories Can/should be left over at the end of the day on MFP? Should you eat back the calories lost from exercising?
I have a deficit of 200-700 usually.0 -

Lol ok I was wondering where that question came from. I don't know what a beach body coach is but they sound skinny and that's not me yet!

Second, just because you've lost lots of weight and want to share that doesn't mean you have something to sell. I admit you do need to be wary of people's motives, but don't call them out with very little evidence.
Finally, what is "ridiculous" about Beachbody products? I am one of around 3,000 MFP members in the Insanity forum. If that product is "ridiculous", I don't mind being ridiculous, because it works. Admittedly I'm referring here to fitness rather than weight loss, but weight loss IS easier when you can consume 600-1000 calories more each day.mgonyer123 wrote: »That was my next question!

What you shouldn't do is double-count your exercise on one hand, or try to "bank" exercise calories on the other.

Ok I'm just doing 30 day shred and logging it as circuit training.
So you suggest I change my lifestyle calories and not eat back the exercise calories? (Just making sure I understand. I'm new sorry lol)0
