Well being one who …
Well being one who lost 4 pounds a week every week for the first 9 months on the diet, losing more than 2 pounds is not unhealthy. Losing more than 2 pounds by starving yourself and having your body cannibalize itself is.

5 pounds is a lot. …
5 pounds is a lot. Fill a sponge with water up to 5 pounds, put it in an area such as the stomach, and that is what you use to look like. Even one pound is noticeable if you take this perspective. I am not sure but losing more than say 2 pounds in one week is unhealthy. Also the less you weigh the harder it should be to lose weight. The last thing you want to look like is one of those anorexic people, they do not look sexy at all.

I find it really …
I find it really unhelpful to have a goal like this. If I’d stall I’d get discouraged and when I’d reach the goal I’d think “that’s it” ,wouldn’t consider the diet so much, then fall back.

I understand that people find goals useful for motivation, but unless I needed to lose weight in a certain time for a very specific purpose, I think the idea goes against the the true definition of ‘diet’ which should be a long-term commitment, not a fad.

Followers will lose good weight without a goal.

It is relatively fast. If you watch my “how much weight will I lose on Induction? video. Most people lost between 5-10% of their weight to lose on Induction, and you exceeded that. As for the second week, it is common to experience a hesitation in the second week as the body adjusts.

I need to lose about 30 lbs. How long would you expect this to take? I’ve been in induction for 2 and a half wks now. I lost 5 lbs in my first week and nothing in my second. Is this normal?

When you work out …
When you work out your muscles are damaged and create microtears (this is good and how they grow), and they retain water while rebuilding. You also may hydrate yourself better after exercising. All of this means that whatever you aren’t losing is temporary, and will soon come off with exercising.

That said for the first few weeks, I recommend focusing on your eating rather than necessarily starting up a new workout program as well.
