    Hi. I just started on Monday. I 'be been keeping under 50g carbs. I'm losing a pound a day. I'm shocked. Wonder how long this will last.

    That initial weight loss is mostly a loss of water weight as glycogen (stored sugar) is stored with water. That first week I lost almost 10lbs. After that, it's been 2ish per week (sometimes 3). I also have a LOT to lose.

    Being that MFP doesn’t calculate net carbs, do you all find it difficult to stay under the NC you’ve set for yourself?
