Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I was consuming a lot of fat in the form of vegan sausages and the like, avocados, nuts and oils. I thought olive oil was healthy for many years, and added extra to salads just to get the fats in.
I figure I was consuming more than 2000 calories a day as I am overweight by at least 20 pounds.
I am worried right now because I am totally new to this concept of eating, and naturally I don’t trust it fully until I see with my own eyes that it works.
I am hoping to hear from people who have had the same issue, and hear that it’s normal and will subside.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Hi! When I started this Plan - I came from a 100% Raw Food Diet - mostly fruit. I had started gaining weight on the raw food diet - so I started the MWL Plan. I only had about 10 lbs to lose - At first - I gained a couple of lbs. - but I stuck with it - because I was so happy to be eating cooked starches and feeling satisfied eating. Sure enough - I started losing - it's slow because I don't have much weight to lose - but I'm losing!!!! AND I can tell from my clothes and by looking in the mirror that I'm getting in my best shape ever! SO - STICK WITH IT!!! If you stick with the plan - you will lose.
