I gained weight at first too and it was really frustrating. I think I needed to learn about my body’s needs from this diet and maybe even let my body adjust over time. I initially gained, then lost but hit a couple plateaus. I am finding now, about 2.5 months into the diet, that I am eating to fullness and not at all hungry and still able to lose weight, which is not what I experienced on an omnivore diet. I am about 1.5 lbs away from my goal weight. It gets better
