Yes, it's normal to lose some weight. I was initially too scared to eat so that's primarily why I didn't stop losing weight when I started EFI. Once I got used to the situation and found out what was safe, I could regain my weight.
I lost over 17 pounds for 2 weeks (that's no joke, I was literally 1 pound less every day... and that given I went to the bathroom once a week with the help of laxatives). That's back when I was on something I didn't know was called the break the cycle diet (BTC diet). When I started EFI, I kept loosing weight, but the rate diminished (I mean... 1 lb/day doesn't sound right, LOL). Eventually, I stopped losing weight. I even regained a couple of pounds lately. Now I know I CAN gain weight, so if I feel week, I can just eat more safe food and I'm going to be good.
My doctor said my story was not major weight loss, even with the rate I was observing. So don't worry. As long as you are not fainty, you're good. Just stick to EFI and you will get a hang on it.
I was not overweight when I started loosing the weight. I was probably about 135 pounds (I'm 5 feet 6 inches) and now I am 115 (maybe... haven't been to the gym in awhile, but probably didn't change much). I feel great, excluding the fact that finding clothes size 2 is much harder than size 4 and 6, LOL.
