I would say that the first two weeks of this was one hell of an ordeal. This was a complete change in what and how I eat, and initially I actually felt quite ill in the stomach.
Eating absolutely no sugar or carbohydrates of any kind (except that found in fruit) is one incredible challenge. Processed food is off the list as well. I find when I go to the supermarket, there is no need to walk down 90% of the aisles.
I think at mid week two I really had some doubts that I was going to be able to continue, but for once I actually found some fortitude and kept going.
A couple of observations I can offer for this initial process
1. I quite quickly stopped being hungry and pretty much had to force myself to eat a lot of the time.
2. A couple of days I entered my food into a calorie counting website and found that 60% of the calories I was eating was coming from fat, which is ok I guess (from what I've read)
3. You really have to plan ahead - if you don't, you will fail.
Well after this initial three weeks, I have lost 3.8kg, and I really do believe this is fat loss, not water. I am really never hungry, and I really don't seem to be eating a lot of food.
I really feel in the groove now. I am not lusting after chips, chocolate or anything sweet.
Hopefully the weight loss I seem to be experiencing will continue.
The only thought I have in the back of my mind is that I really don't enjoy eating meat so much, but to get the job done I am going to continue doing what I am doing.
