Hi hun, there will be a lot of contributing factors... Do you have much to lose?
Some people go into ketosis on step 2, some don't, it makes a massive difference which food choices you make, you will lose quicker in ketosis.
For example, if you have the allowed weight of chick peas that = 40g carbs, if you swap that for the 2 eggs, that's 2g of carbs, or go for chicken and that's 0g of carbs....!
Then if you had a shake it's about 14g of carbs compared to a bar which is 24g....
So ok, you should follow the book, but you should be mindful of your choice combinations, as you can see from the above how much of a difference that can make, and that difference is ketosis, as a guide try to limit your carbs to under 70p for ketosis, and that way you should see quicker results.
