Losing weight too quickly?

Ok, I implemented a no grain, no dairy, no sugar & no caffeine diet which is working pretty well for me. I started this about 3 months ago when I was supporting 270 pounds on a 6 foot frame. I'm now 237 pounds and am wondering if this is ok?

Coincidentally I stopped prednisone about the same time I began this diet and I'm sure my body is just trying to get back to where it was before the pred. (I was on it for 7 years)

Anyway, I feel fine and am never hungry and I never get the highs and lows of hunger that came with pred. grains, dairy & sugar.

Have any of you been on a similar diet and lost this kind of weight this quickly? Is it ok? Will i get a heart murmur? How can I slow it down?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm a little worried...

Thanks...

Your weight loss doesn't sound bad to me but you are the best judge. I was in my normal weight range when I started SCD and lost 7-8 lbs. in the first 3-4 months and then levelled off, maybe lost another lb. in the following months (5'7").

Keep eating protein to keep your muscle up, something I look after with my DH and he doesn't have UC lol just a diet similar to mine. (I use "diet" in the medical sense of food intake not "diet" as in eating for weight loss which neither of us do).

It's amazing how little food we both need since eliminating carbs, grains, sugars and starches. We have plenty of energy. Keep drinking water too, very important to keep the colon healthy especially with eating more fiber.

Keep eating good fats also, those are "good" calories and I've found keeps energy up, good for skin/hair and (again) colon health. My every day oils are fish oil teaspoon and coconut oil teaspoon. I also cook with olive oil and use on salads as much as possible.

I've read that people whose natural diet is heavy in animal oil (far north Alaskan native Inuits) had almost zero cardiovascular disease before Western diet was introduced.

Personally I don't care about scale weight as long as I feel healthy with energy and UC is quiet, which it is. I've got lots of clothes in various sizes from 10 years of UC and too superstitious to throw anything out just yet.
