i wonder if the shredded aspect from low carb is mainly from not holding much water rather than loosing much fat,my self i was utter shredded this summer on low carbs,when i eat carbs back i put on at least 8 pounds of water,that i reloose quickly if i go low carbs again
It's pretty well known that you lose a lot of water weight when you drop carbs. This effect is desirable for some people, but everything else that accompanies it tends to be a negative in my experience, basically low thyroid symptoms.
Another issue I had with low-carb diets was trying to balance electrolytes as a result of that water loss.
