Why did I lose 5 lbs. my 1st week & then only 1-to-2 lbs. per week afterwards?

The reason why you lost a lot of weight the first 2-to-3 weeks on your weight loss program is because...

• You lost a combination of FAT and...
• Mostly excess water weight (in which could easily lose 5-to-10 pounds of water weight by eating right) and/or...
• You also lost a lot of waste (fecal matter) trapped in your colon or to put it more simply...
• You had more Bowel Movements (BM's or number 2's) than usually and after you flushed out excess water weight and cleansed your colon after starting your weight loss program...

You will simply go back to losing 1-to-3 pounds of fat per week and depending on how overweight you are (or the higher your body fat percentage is) - you may still lose more than 5 pounds of FAT per week on any weight loss plan but usually...

Losing anything over 3-to-5 pounds per week is probably due to fat loss + water + colon cleansing + muscle loss.
