I think I'm dropping weight too fast.

I started dieting on Monday. Before that I was eating pure shit on a daily basis. Fast food, pizza, soda, ect. My diet consists of high protein , low carb, low fat meals. I eat 6-8 times a day with only water in between. I would list my whole diet but it's late and I'm tired.

Monday I weighed in at 256 on the gym scale. Tuesday my weight is 253. I go in today and the scale read 248. I was in disbelief, for one, that's 8lbs of weight loss in 3 days, and two, I can't remember the last time I was under 250.

When I was leaving the gym I talked to the one trainer there that I knew for sure knew his shit. I told him the story and he said I should try adding more carbs to my diet.

8lbs in 3 days sounds good to the ears but I know in my mind it can't be that good for the body. But now that I have been eating this way and seeing results, I can never see myself going back to my old ways. The hardest part is trying to remember to bring food with me if I'm gonna be out of the house for more than a few hours.

Probably all water. You may have been retaining water from all of the sodium in the fast food.

High protein low carb = water. this diet will work wonders to start dropping weight, but you need to be careful once you get off it, not to regain what was lost. Friend of mine at work lost a lot of weight went from 226 to 183 pounds in less then 3 months with a similar diet, now he eats normal again and as gained 5 pounds back he is a very lean 187 pounds stop smoking and plays a lot of soccer.

Probably water... continue your diet and monitor closely over the next couple of weeks... if you continue to lose more than 2 maybe 3lbs TOPS per week, up your calories by about 200/day until things level out.
