    More than likely you are seeing a combination of fat, muscle and water loss. To loose five pounds of fat within one week would require 17,500 caloric deficit which is 2,500 per day caloric deficit assuming 7 days.

    The first week can be amazing. A lot of times the biggest thing is you're just getting rid of all that bloat and it feels great.
