I done a diet many a year ago, where all I was allowed was meat,skim milk cheeses,cottage cheese and eggs,diet pop, lots of water, and that was it... no veggies in any way,shape or form. That was my first experience with a LC diet, and I lost 26# rather quickly.
I agree with the others here, that is a helluvalot of changes for your body to get use to all at once.The body goes through detoxes enough with Induction on Aktins,... whew your body is probably needing all the strength it can muster to detox from all the changes at once!
Hang in there~ don't compare your bf's success to yours... men have a different fat storage system than women do, as women's bodies have extra for the preparation of childbirth... and men are more likely to have more lean muscle mass than a woman... This may not be true in all cases, but it does apply in the good majority.
Know that you can come here for support, the LC folks are great~
