Aww guys thank you SO much for the replies I haven't been checking my threads lately

Thank you for all this info. Well I didn't work out the first week and the weight quickly fell off, like in 4 days I think I went from 140 to 133. I know lots was water weight and muscle because I took measurements and they hadn't changed. So that's when started lifting again. I picked up the 8 pound weight (I usually use 12-15 for bicep curls and arm exercizes) but the 8 pound weight seemed so heavy. So I'm training on 8 pound and will work my way back up. So yeah,muscle loss right there. :/

Also have no been doing cardio. My cardio sessions were really intense - hiit and steady cardio, heart rate up to 170 for about 30-40 minutes. No way I could sustain right now. So I do an hour light walking around my neighborhood. MUCH more pleasant than my old work outs lol.

And to be honest I'm feeling very normal, not tired what so ever. Occastionally I will get a little dizzy a half hour after eating fruit, so I cut my fruit servings. I think thats just because fruit sugar spikes blood sugar levels and then they drop, leaving me dizzy. I've always had dizzy problems in my past, so I'm thinking of just cutting out fruit for alittle bit or having it in half a serving with protein.

I have upped my protein in place of the fruit and feel much much more at ease. Now my weight loss is still around 132-133 so I have a feeling now that the first few days are up and the water weight is gone, I think that now hopefully I will start burning the fat stores not muscle or water.

I'm also taking r-ala and guggulbolic by syntrax - supposed to help preserve muscle on keto diets. And also l carnitine at night. Lately noticed some joints and muscle ache, and some tingling down my legs... is that normal? I heard potassium helps with that so I take 4x 99mg potassium / day.

Ok guys, thanks so much for responses. love the information coming
