According to my scales, I've lost 11 lbs in the 4 days since I went vegan. Now I'm going to check myself on a friend's scales tonight, but that seems an awful lot to me. I'm very overweight - 5 foot 4 and weighed in at 15 stone 2 lbs when I started this, and the scales are now saying 14 stone 5 lbs. I used to really load up on dairy - could pack away 1/2 lb of cheese in one sitting and would drink cold milk by the pint. Could it be just my body getting rid of all the gunk?
I'm eating really well - about 1900 calories yesterday and according to Fitday, got all my nutrients well over 100% bar iron and Vit C (both at 70%ish), and B12 and calcium in the 40-50% bracket which I'll look into upping with leafy greens and fortified stuff. I'm certainly not hungry - in fact I'd probably struggle to eat more quantity-wise, and I feel very well indeed. So I'm at a loss to know why this is happening quite so quickly.
