First of all, ANY major change in your diet involving fewer calories will cause weight loss initially. Second, you're obviously not eating enough calories. That's far too much weight to lose in a week, and you're right; it probably won't stay off. (When I have insomnia and that road hum feeling in my body, I burn a lot more calories.)
The problem with carbs is the stimulation of insulin production, which holds on to fat. (You can still lose some weight, but it's often calorie stores; then you'll stubbornly hold on to fat.)
Maybe you could try to put a hunk of cheese on that bread. Better yet, pair the cheese with an apple and an ounce of wine!
I hope you feel better, prisoner!
