Answer 1

First thing is that low carbing should not be a diet, it should be "your way of eating" for the rest of your life.

It is healthy, I have been doing it for years, sucessfully, and my doctor agrees!

You need to give it more time and stay under 20 grams!! The first two weeks I only ate burger patty's with cheese, omelets in the morning and small salads. If you do this, based on you height and weight, my guess would be about 6-7 pounds in the first week and maybe 3-4 pounds the next week.

No, you aren't supposed to gain.
You immediatly start losing weight on the low carb diet but you have to stay under 20 g/carbs a day.
You need to check the carb content of EVERYTHING, even the seasonings that you put on your food.
It's a very serious diet, you could really seriously end up messing up your metabolism if you don't do things right.
Trust me, I've been there, done that.

you are going about losing weight the wrong way. your body needs carbs, the healthy kind, and lean meats, vegies, fruits, berries, and a little fat. starving your body from carbs is unhealthy. carbohydrates provide energy so you can be more active and lose weight. firstly, you need to drink plenty of green tea and water every day. sweeten your green tea with tea leaf found in health food stores. you need to learn to change your style of eating. eat brightly colored fruits, vegies, berries, and high fiber carbohydrates such as high fiber, whole wheat, whole grain pastas, cereals, oatmeal, crackers, popcorn, and lean proteins such as fish, chicken, lean turkey and ham. and include nuts, soy milk, soy crisps and nuts and low/non fat milks, yogurts, and cheeses. eat 3 moderate meals a day and 3 snacks. your caloric intake to lose weight should be around 1500-1700 calories a day and 2000-2200 to maintain your weight. secondly, you NEED to EXERCISE! start with 30 minutes of walking 4 days a week. after a month, bump it up to 45 minutes 4 days a week and add 15 minutes of light weight lifting and resistance exercises 3 days a week. increase the time and intensity until you are walking 60 minutes, 5 days a week and lifting weights or resistance training 30 minutes 4 days a week. do other activities such as dancing, rollerblading, speed walking, sprinting or running, (no jogging), or cycling to vary your routine. once you go off of the carb diet, it will be very hard to keep your weight level. your body needs all food types and plenty of exercise.
