Water loss and quick weight gain
"Ignoramus28710" wrote in message ... 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? i 223/177/180 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).

... 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. |
