Question

I am on phase 1 week 3 diet I lost 6 lb at week 1 4 lb at week 2 and only 1 lb at this week which is 3rd week I am disappointed , any advice why I am not losing this week ?  

Answer 1

Do not let it distract you. My Ip coach said when we shock our system with significant weightloss out body gets confused. It will get back on track for you. Besides women only lose 2 to 3 a wk and men 5. Keep your head up, u r doing great

@lermontov this is the 3rd day on week 3 and only 1 lb , and I am following exactly what the pharmacist told me to eat  

Answer 2

I was the same way- but now I’m 6 weeks in and down 21lbs. - half way to my goal. I average about 2. 5# a week. Stick with it.  

Answer 3

Dud you gain muscle instead ? That’s what I did

Comments

@pernod is it good or not ?  

---

@inge3 that’s good

---

@inge3 you lost fat. Still just gained the muscle you want the muscle is what I was told

Answer 4

Mine was the same. Week 3&4 were lower losses. Then week 5 was a big loss. It totally fluctuates based on hormones etc. Keep it up, you're doing great. Won't be big numbers every week.  

Answer 5

If you're not journaling, start doing it. Then, you can be aware of what works and what doesn't work for you.

@compensatory I am journaling

---

@inge3 can you notice the difference between the weeks you lost more from the week you lost less? How different was your eating?  

---

@compensatory the same chicken breast , vegetables , protein bars and protein cereal this is all

---

@inge3 if the eating is similar, it might be your body adjusting to the new diet. Stick with it!

@plectrum99 @compensatory thanks for your great advices , I will keep updating

Answer 6

Thanks for the encouragement  I will keep updating

Answer 7

I had the same result on my 4th week. I started paying attention to which foods & IP foods helped me lose weight faster. I try new recipes just after my weigh in, eat those foods that I like earlier in the week and eat those that help speed weight loss closer to my weigh in. It's different for each person. For example, a good cut of steak helps me lose weight while others say they stay away from red meat. Hope that helps!

@brucebrucellosis chicken breast , vegetables and the protein bars and protein chips with supplement , that is all what I eat for now as I am in phase 1

---

@inge3 I'm in phase one too. There are more protein options available.  

---

Recipes are from Janeva's book - all Phase 1

---

I didn't get this book , where can I order it from?  

---

@inge3 My coach at Pharmasave sold it to me. I understand it's available through Janeva's website: www. janevaskitchen. com which I hear is much cheaper than Amazon. Hope this helps! She's a lifesaver.  

---

@brucebrucellosis I will ask my pharmacist if she doesn't carry it then I will order it from the website you gave me , is this the cover of it ?  

---

@inge3 This is the cover of the one I have.  

---

@brucebrucellosis I found it in Amazon , 94$ not prime , I will look for it cheaper

---

@brucebrucellosis thank you ❤️

Answer 8

You lost 11 pounds in three weeks which is ABOVE the average loss of 2-3 per week/10 per month. It is also typical to have a low or no loss week in week 3 and/or 4 as your body adjusts to this new eating plan. NEVER look at any single week. Some weeks are more, some are less, some are none, some are a slight uptick. You are looking at averages, not individual weigh ins. Be SURE you are measuring for inches lost which are far more important in seeing actual fat loss.
