Any weight loss or diet plan, including low-carb plans like the
induction phase of the Atkins Diet will result in water loss during the
first week or two. However, one of the real beauties of following a low
carbohydrate eating plan is that most of the weight loss than extends
beyond the initial induction phase of the diet is really from a drop in
fat pounds.
How can this be? Well, when you follow a controlled carbohydrate eating
plan like Atkins or the South Beach Diet, your body soon switches from
burning carbohydrates (which the diet deprives the body of) to burning
fat for energy. In other words, the majority of the weight loss that
occurs beyond the initial induction phase is really loss of fat that has
been stored in your body.
Contrary to what many skeptics and misinformed persons may report or
say, even if your body sheds water during the first few days of a
controlled carbohydrate diet plan like the South Beach Diet or Atkins,
the body’s water balance soon returns to normal and the weight loss that
follows is the depletion of fat pounds. This loss of fat reveals itself
to one and all in the form declines in inches (your body measurements)
and pounds – regardless which low-carb diet you follow.
