I lost 21 pounds in 21 days. Everyone's metabolism is different, though, and so your weight loss may be different than, say, mine. good luck to you!

take in too many carbs and you will gain weight fast. you lose weight because of kurtosis. i believe fat counts for less calories per gram, down to 7 from 9 i think?
