Why am I losing just inches, and not pounds?

I recently went to the doctor and discovered that I had gained 10 lbs (4.5 kg) since starting LCHF on the 15th of April 2017. However, I can tell that I have lost inches around my waist and also thighs. My clothes fit better and I am getting back into my jeans.

I start off with bulletproof coffee every morning but do intermittent fasting until 1:00 pm. I usually have my last meal before 8:00 pm in the evening. I still have at least one diet Dr. Pepper a day if I am being honest, but incorporate at least 64 ounces (1.8 litres) of water. What can I do to lose pounds and inches?

I have been following your keto meal plans, from the “get started week 1” and now I am on keto week 4. The last week thought I feel quite dizzy almost all day long. I take vitamin D and magnesium supplements and I follow the diet strictly. The dizziness started a few days ago in my first 24h fast and it continues since then.

I have been following the ketogenic diet, using only your recipes. I love the food and find the diet easy to follow. Instead of constipation however, I am experiencing bouts of cramping that comes and goes. I then have loose stools and have even had an accident when I passed gas (in the restroom, thank goodness!). I hate to be so graphic but I wanted to be honest about what is happening and my concern.

Is it possible I am getting too much olive oil/butter/coconut oil? I am on medication for Barrett’s esophagus, thyroid, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. I have never had this issue before now.
