Ketogenic Diet - Week 1 results

A week has gone by with my diet.. Well its a little more than a week considering I started on Monday but lets just minus out the few days that I made a few "slips".

Had my appointment with Lindsay today (was meant to be Tuesday but stuff got in the way) and we did what would be a weekly/fortnightly measurement thingy which included the VLA as well. What a motivation boost!!!!!! Not only did I lose weight, the tests actually show that the weight loss is mainly fat with a little of water retention loss! Therefore, I didn't lose any muscle in the weight I loss and it was not all water! 

Here's the results for this week compared with last week:

Overall:

First started: 73.6

Today: 71.2
