Most people think that a low carb diet is the way to lose weight quickly.
The truth is, most of the weight lost in the first few weeks is just water weight. This is because the lowering of insulin causes the kidney to shed sodium which reduces water retention. Your glycogen stores are also reduced, which further decreases water retention.
Is this ok? Yes, it is normal. This mechanism is also the reason why you feel bloated and gain weight after a cheat day when on a low/no carb diet.
