weight loss after eliminating dairy?

Last sunday I quit eating animal products (meat, dairy, eggs, honey) and decided to be vegan. Mostly due to a lactose intolerance and a dislike of meat. I've been losing weight for about a year and a half (total of 50lbs) and have recently hit a plateau until this week. After eliminating all animal products I've lost 5 lbs since Sunday. I'm excited to have lost weight however, I'm wondering if it's a bad thing to have lost that much in one week? Is that expected when switching to a plant based diet?

    Yes, a plant-based diet is lower in fats and most unhealthy products are not vegan, so the change is expected. However, be careful with keeping up with your protein intake.
