Same thing happened to me when I first did this about a year ago. Lost quickly in the first week or so with an 8 pound loss. It seemed like the easiest diet I had ever done because I was NEVER hungry. But then lost only a pound or so the following week.

Well, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I was eating way too much. Portions matter. Someone much bigger than me could MAYBE afford to eat as much as I was eating for awhile, and still lose, but calories do count.

Once I added up what I was eating, I quickly realized it wasn't much of a 'diet'. Recognizing when you have eaten enough to be comfortable, and put the hunger pangs at bay, can be tricky. I just find that eating until I am stuffed, even it if is the right foods, is probably not going to reflect as well on the scale.
