big differences in first week losses

so how comes some people lose about 8lb week one, and some lose 18lb week one, if they're similar weight to start?

i thought it had something to do with how many carbs u where eating befor but not 100% think it also helps if ur drinking alot of water

Hiya all
i really struggle with the whole water consumption thing. I can just about get through a pint. Have never been a big drinker to be honest.

From my experience in reading the forums I have noticed a couple of things...

Several factors can contribute to the differences in weight loss in the first week...Height, starting weight, age, activity and how much was in your glycogen store before starting CD and men in general lose faster than women.

As long as you are drinking the recommended 2.25 litres/4pints of water in addiction to the water used to prepare your meal packs then you should have no problems.

Tea and coffee are also counted as part of the 2.25 litres/4pints.
