Robert Whitfield MD explains why people lose weight fast in the first month: it's mostly fluid and inflammation dropping, not fat. A fit person might lose 10 pounds, some patients 30, as the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system work together to flush excess fluid.

About 10 pounds (conservative estimate).
As much as 30 pounds in a month (anecdotal).
And you can visibly change someone to that amount of fluid accumulation of the tissues like you're experiencing. You know, I never know how much somebody's going to change. But for you, you know, a very fit person traditionally, with with no other, we'll say lifestyle things that I have to address because you're already doing all that work, you're predictably going to lose. Like I said, I'd say 10, always conservatively. But I've had people lose £30 in a month. Wow. And then they call incredible. They're they don't know what's going on. They can't stop, you know, urinating. And they're like, hey, is something wrong? That's just your body typically getting rid of inflammation. And that's when our livers and kidneys, you know, function in concert and efficiently with your lymphatic system. I mean, those are the best cases. So.
