There are a few ways the body can lose water weight quickly.
The net reduction of glycogen levels within muscles. If we don’t eat as many carbs as before the muscle stores gradually decline. Because every gram of stored carbs holds 3 grams of water the result is a net loss of fluid.
The gradual breakdown of muscle protein that is inevitable when losing weight. Protein in muscle holds up to 4 times its weight in fluid, again a net loss results in water loss.
Rid excess sodium from the body. A high sodium intake, which is common in the diets of western society, helps cause some water retention. Eating less food will naturally reduce intake of sodium thus resulting in another loss of fluid.
Less fluid intake due to less food intake. All food contains some fluid and eating less food means less fluid consumed. Taking less fluid than the body loses can be the quickest way to lose weight. It can also be the most dangerous if fluid is not replaced adequately!
No matter what technique we use to lose weight we will always experience the first three processes to some extent, and result in some loss of water weight. If food intake is reduced too much then all these processes can be speeded up ten-fold. All of the processes occurring constantly will help to lose weight the quickest and cause the dieter to believe they have done very well on a new diet. In fact, no fast weight loss could ever be fat loss because fat simply cannot be burned that quickly.
