[quote=Anonymous]Your body composition will be identical, but you will weigh 5ish lbs more. This is because when you eat carbs, your can store ~2000 calories in the form of glycogen, which is a sugar polymer that also is hydrated with a lot of water. If your glycogen is depleted, you automatically weigh 5ish lbs less, but it is all water weight. It's also not considered great for your hormonal profile to be chronically depleted in glycogen, and there's some evidence that very low carb diets (like keto) are not the greatest for some women and exacerbate issues like PMS, menstrual irregularity, and thyroid function.[/quote]
