Ive heard people say that the weight lost on a low carb diet is just water weight and not fat. Is this true?
No, that is not true. It is typical of any weight-loss plan, that during the first few days, or even the first week, some of the weight loss will be water loss. However, when one follows a controlled carbohydrate eating plan, the body switches from burning carbohydrates to primarily burning stored fat for energy, resulting in the loss of stored fat. In fact, research shows that even when water is lost during the first few days on a controlled carbohydrate diet, the water balance soon returns to normal, and the weight loss comes from burning body fat for energy. The most dramatic sign of this loss is seeing the inches drop off your measurements.
