Shred diet - Big wt loss in week 1

Started Ian Smiths diet last week with unbelievable results I think. My wife & I are both mid 50's. I need to lose about 40 lbs & had lost about 8 since the new year. At the end of week 1 my wife lost 6lbs & I lost 8.5. Is this typical for some?

    It seems to be typical for a lot of people on the shred diet. My husband and I are starting today and will let you know on next monday.

    You didn't post any details about the diet and you don't have your diary open, so who knows? If it's a low carb diet (or low food intake in general) you will lose weight quickly in the form of water. I tried to look up the diet and the ad for it says things like "diet confusion", "tricks the body and revs up its performance", "detox" and "intense cleanse", which tells me everything I need to know about this diet.
