If you do the full switch, you drop a lot of fat/water weight 2 weeks in, I think it's more from just cutting out all the processed food. I weighed like 195 and went to 180 in pretty much zero time. The fat keeps coming off, but not as quick...I now pretty much hover between 168-172 depending on my eating/working out. I sort of plateaued at 176 on paleo, and lost a couple pounds when I started working in more intermittent fasting. When I first started paleo I cut carbs and processed food but still ate out at least once a week something that was carby, after 2 weeks i ditched dairy, that's when more weight came off...since then I will eat carbs, but mostly in the form of sushi, or have some dairy (cottage cheese, etc), but for me cutting out dairy was significant...
Thanks AZK. I'm at about 180 and looking to go to around 165. The last few weeks, I've cut out all sweets (dessert, candy, cookies, whatever), pop, and booze. I've started eating eggs every morning with breakfast and have mixed in some bacon. Occasionally, I've had to have a bit of cereal or a biscuit just because I feel like I have no energy without it. Diabetes runs in my family so when I get low blood sugar, I feel like I need some quick carbs...crackers, a biscuit, cereal, whatever.
