Hi,
I've been on IP for two months and have lost just over 30 lbs, the first three weeks or so I lost an average of a lb a day, now I lose about 2-3 lbs a week. I haven't cheated in the sense that I've eaten restricted items, but I do tend to eat a lot of meat, including some fatty meats like sausage. I usually eat an IP item of breakfast, along with a couple hard boiled eggs and a piece of meat, at lunch I eat my IP, veggies and probably about 3 oz of boneless, skinless, chicken, and for dinner I eat the same minus the IP. Then my IP snack and bed. From time to time I snack on lunchmeat between meals. My coach says that I can eat extra protein because I am a male, plus I've been doing some light weightlifting each day.
I'm curious about my weight loss- 2 lbs a week on this diet seems a little on the low side, but perhaps I'm not being realistic. How will my meat intake affect my ketosis/weight loss?
