[quote=Anonymous]Eating low carb will cause you to flush out 5 lbs or so of water weight without any changes to body composition, since you store carbohydrate in your muscles and liver in the form of glycogen which carries along with it waters of hydration. Incidentally, if you have low glycogen stores you tend to feel really lethargic, and many women are even more prone to this than men since women's hormones are more dramatically affected by carbohydrate restriction than men. Eat healthy food of reasonable portions. If you eat low carb for a few days and suddenly drop 5 lbs, realize that is absolutely meaningless and you are being a scale slave. I think when monitoring your weight it's better to take a rolling average over weeks while taking data daily. Then you realize that 3-5 lb fluctuations are totally normal depending on how much you sweat, how dehydrated you are, and how much carbs/salt you eat that particular day.[/quote]
