You really have to give it some time. I know there is a lot of hype about how much weight pople lose in a week on this diet. But those are the exceptions not the rules. You have to be patient.

Keep doing the induction and drink a ton of water. That is an essential thing. Water is the only thing that counts for your water per day. The experts say you need at least 1/2 you body weight in ounces. Just stay by a pottie.

I used to work out in a gym as well. I know what you mean about the muscles. The trainers all think that everyone wants to bulk up. They train you to use the machines and free weights and all that good stuff. Try doing the free weight movements without the weights. Concentrate on the muscle you are working. This will help to firm you without adding bulk.

Keep your spirits high. It will work.
