Don't panic - we all know darned well that it's impossible to lose or gain several pounds of fat in a number of *days*. Remember, a pound of fat is about 3500 calories. That's how much of a calorie deficit you have to create to lose a pound of fat. So, we're talking *weeks* to gain or lose several.
I know Dr Atkins promises near-miraculous weight loss on induction, but it rarely happens that way, especially on repeated attempts.
This would be tough, but if you're really getting freaked over two pounds, you need to stay off the scale. It's only upsetting you and you don't need the extra stress.
Hang in there!
