I have lost 11 lbs in 1 1/2 week, not trying to, have changed what i am eating can that be the cause?

Rapid wt loss: An 11 lb wt loss in 10 days happens typically with dominant fluid losses. One has to have approximately a 3500 cal deficit (cal burned vs consumed ) to lose ONE POUND of flesh. So your wt loss has to be mostly fluid. Yes changing diet can propel wt loss. But not that much that fast.
