Hi Everyone!

I've recently changed to a paleo lifestyle and ended up losing 10 lbs in 7 days. I'm hitting the end of the second week and I haven't lost anything. I'm working out 30 minutes a day at least 4 times a week and eating around 1500 calories a day or so. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this at all?

Thanks a bunch!

    A huge drop in weight like that was probably water weight. As your body adjusts to the new way of eating it will balance out and you will likely begin to lose weight at a more balanced and steady pace. 10 lbs in a week is an awful lot. I wouldn't worry and keep on truckin. Things will even out :)

    What BabyPhit said, definitely water weight from cutting your carby breads, pastas etc out of your diet.

    Are you eating back your exercise calories? 1500 doesn't seem like much if you're not. I am firmly in the 'eat more to lose more' camp, after struggling with 1200cal diet food regimes in the past.
