    So I take it you are fishing for people to buy your supplements? I also am assuming you are talking 11 lbs of fecal matter that you have lost via taking said supplements?

    I really hope people are smart enough to not fall for this stuff.

    Well, if you read the OP, it does sound like it. In summary, Hey, I lost 11 lbs and I take these vitamins, message me if you want more info. I'm seeing this alot on these boards and I don't blame people for being precautious because of it.

    A 1976 study of ketogenic diets found 61% of the weight lost in the early stages was water weight. That means your actual weight loss was more like 4.3 pounds ... factor in things like differences in clothing worn, differences in gut content, inconsistencies in your scale from measurement to measurement, it may be somewhat less than that. So enjoy it while you can, but don't let it get you discouraged if you find your rate of loss is slowing down.

    Also, I don't think vitamins have anything to do with so-called "starvation mode" ... it's more a matter of your body fat dropping below a threshold (which is caused by insufficient caloric input, not vitamins). See e.g.,

    Note too that in the table on the following page "slow metabolism" isn't one of the disorders known to be caused by a vitamin deficiency and "weight loss" isn't listed as a benefit of any vitamin:

    Thanks, I think I'll pass on the supplements. My cheap-o Centrum Silver from the local drug store does me just fine. :)

    I would encourage you to eat more than 1000 calories a day. That will work for a short while and then will not. I have dieted for YEARS....not non stop of course....but years and trust me I have even done a 350 calorie a day stint and even that eventually stopped working. I have been doing so much better, feeling so much better and getting unbelievable results with 1500 a day. Counter intuative I agree.....but it works and I never feel deprived or weak and exhausted. I exercise 45-90 minutes a day too.

    I lost 12 pounds my first week, but assume that will level off a little bit. If I can keep in the 3-4 pound a week range for a bit I would be happy. I ate ultra low calories to kind of shock my body but I have started to bump that up a bit.

    11 pounds in one week sounds dangerous. It's taken me more than 6 months to lose the same amount. Don't starve yourself!

    This is a very kind response for someone just starting out on the site.:flowerforyou: Why must others assume the worst when someone is simply sharing their joy about finding the site and getting started!? SMH

    The OP is brand new and has only had 5 posts, doesn't sound like an ad for products to me!! :noway: It sounds like excitement and feeling motivated after having a successful first week!:drinker:

    Great job I agree with the poster above, let the negativity roll off your back and keep up the hard work..:flowerforyou:

    Sometimes ppl on here forget to think first before speaking/typing and it ends up crushing someone, kindness can go along ways!:heart:

    Sadly it is happening more often than most of us would like to see. :ohwell:

    When you consider a person has more to lose its not unheard of to lose a larger amount the first couple weeks. Water weight, drastic food changes etc., that's what can cause a big loss.

    Really? A brand new member comes on here and shares the excitement of finding MFP & her success and the berating begins?:noway: Makes no sense at all..

    Great job girly!!! That is wonderful!!! I hate to say this but you might want to to up your calories up to at least 1200 calories my doctor said that is the lowest ANYONE should go because anything less is dangerous. You don't want to lose muscle mass and not fat you know what I mean! But you are doing wonderful and keep that positive attitude :)

    No disrespect intended - but this is an incredibly dangerous diet and should in no way be encouraged.

    400 calories a day until you reach your goal weight? is this serious? if so it is negligent.

    Here is what i do, but i do not usually go lower than 1,000 calories a day. But i take these vitamins drink lots and lots of water and exercise bout ever other day. I just started last monday though so i don't know how i will feel bout this diet in a month or so but as for now i am loving it. And also i found all my vitamins at the lowest price at wal-mart and all together it was just a little over 20 dollars for an almost 3 month supply!! Good deal to me. lol

    Take 3x's a day with meals

    Calcium- 1000mg
    Magnesium- 400mg
    Zinc- 15mg

    Take 1x a day in the morning

    Multi Vitamin
    C-500mg
    E-200 iu
    Beta Carotene- 25,000iu
    Biotin- 1500mcg
    Selenium- 200mg

    The calcium magnesium and zinc comes in one pill but look at the serving size on the back, mine i had to take 3 to get the amount that i needed. When you buy your vitamins just make sure they match the amount you need. The only one i had to buy was the biotin they only make it in 1000 so i take one and break it to make 1500. I find it very amazing that you do not get hungry on this diet and how you can drop your calorie intake so low and your body doesn't go into starvation because the vitamins make the body think it is still getting all that it needs.


    1 glass of water before meal with vitamins, eat then drink 1 glass of water after eating.

    Make sure you eat at least 20 grams or more of protein daily

    No gain is success

    Write down everything you eat

    Weigh first thing in the morning and last thing at night

    Nothing to eat the last 4 hours before bed. you can drink water or zero calorie drink but no food

    Also would like to add I understand i have ALOT to lose and i understand my first week was mainly water weight lost. So if this diet comes to a stand still i have read the blogs on umping your calories and that was successful. Keeping that in mind if this seems to fail! Thanx for everyones input !!
