Hi Libby
A lot of people gain some weight when they start the program. If you have been dieting or skipping meals or doing low carb, when you add in enough healthy food, your metabolism may take a little while to adjust, because it has probably shut down. Then it should stabilize.

Here's a link to an newsletter article about this very topic.
