Question....Did any of you not lose a thing in the first weeks or month of counting calories and then, like a switch drop a few-5lbs? I see people on here that drop 5 the first week or two then is the loss slows but is it possible for your body to "freeze up" in the very beginning? I have changed my diet so dramatically lately, ie. vegetarian for 2 years now eating lean meats ect. I am wondering if I've really thrown my body for a loop. Also how many days after TOM would you say I can weigh and get the most accurate reading? Thanks

    Considering the calories and fat in meats, I would say that there would not be a loss because you are adding, not necessarily minusing, unless your eating habits were really bad before...I'm really now sure, though, its a great question!

    I know that changing to or from vegetarian is a shock to the system. The Dalai Lama developed health problems over being a vegetarian so he changed to being a part-time vegetarian. Every other day he eats meat, every other day he doesn't. That way he gets the benefit of both. I went to vegetarianism and developed health problems. I now eat meat but not every day. I think my body is happier that way.

    KarmasBFF you have just aboutthe same goals as I do. It will be rough going but I think it is definitely do-able. Good luck to you, it seem like you are off to a great start.

    When you say changed your calorie count, did you change it up or down?
