Not to burst your bubble but with paleo diets the initial huge losses are mostly from water weight due to depleted glycogen stores; you didn't lose two pounds of pure fat in one day. It will eventually stabilize itself, so don't feel discouraged when the rate of loss slows down. If a paleo based diet keeps you in a calorie deficit then keep on keeping on, but it's not necessary for weight loss. Congrats on your progress thus far.3

Initially, most people see a very rapid loss of 5-10 pounds in the first week. This is encouraging, but don’t expect it to last forever: it’s mostly water weight.

Well thats discouraging news I havent actually stuck with it but I will say I felt better when I did0

Not discouraging at all, it's better to know and expect a bit of a slow down, than expect to keep losing lbs per day and wondering why you're not.
Wait, was this thread started almost 2 years ago?6 -
