Re: 5 days into induction - I have a question. | | FYI, the body holds around 250-500 grams of glycogen which are being disposed of when you do low carb. Each gram of glycogen requires about 3-4 times its weight in water to store it in the body, so you could be losing anywhere from < 2 to > 5 lbs just from glycogen water loss (it is possible to lose water through other sources while dieting however). All in all, the more carbs you ate before you started a LC WOE, the more weight you can attribute to water loss |
