They say to the beginning dieters that the first few pounds of weight
loss is inconsequential water loss. I assume that it is mostly loss of
glycogen stores and other such watery energy stores.

And then, I suppose, if the diet continues, the dieter beging to lose
fat, but that water loss remains. But after the weight loss phase is
over and there is no longer "hunger", the body would refill the
glycogen stores and whatnot, and that initial water loss would be
reversed. Could it explain the quick regain of a few pounds that some
dieters experience as they purposely stop calorie deficit?


Yes, that is my understanding and first hand witnessing.


If so, then the prescription, it seems, is to go beyond the weight
loss target, then start eating adequately, and watch that water loss
revert.


if a particular poundage of weight is your goal - then yes.

Any thoughts?

We were told in HMR that once transition begins to expect a water weight
gain similar to the initial water weight losses in the first few weeks.
This has happened to my friends, but not to me yet though I'm expecting it.
The weight loss continues after the initial gain however because of the
length of time of the transition (6-8 weeks).

Depends on the individual - a few pounds for some, more than 5 for others.

Agreed. My guess would be 5 lbs.


The most it would be is 37% unless it is a ketogenic diet, in which case it
would be about 60% and that is at "starvation" (around 800 Calories) levels.
