This Is What Happens When You Eat Almost No Carbs

If you started a low-carb diet, your pants will start loosening almost immediately, but that’s not because you have lost fat, but you have lost water weight.

The reason why you would shed water first is that the carbs hold a lot of water, and many of us forget that the main source of water is food.

Also, once the glucose is gone, the body will start looking for stored forms of it, so it metabolizes or utilizes water – The loss of stored glycogen will be releasing all the water.

Sometimes, the water loss can be significant (up to 15 pounds), and it is a noticeable loss that drives people to continue the diet.
