How Weight Comes Off

According to a study by Victor Katch, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts, the composition of weight loss changes over time so that you lose increasingly more fat and less water as you progress thought each diet stage.
 

Distribution of Weight Loss

Stage Days Water Protein Fat
1 1-10 70% 5% 25%
2 11-20 19% 12% 69%
3 21-30 0% 15% 85%
4 30-plus 0% 25% 75%
 
Fluid Retention
There are times when you retain excess water. Many women gain a few pounds just before their menstrual period begins.

Fluid retention can be a common side effect of some medications and hormonal changes. It also occurs when you eat too many calories and carbohydrates.

Don't let short-term "water" weight gains disrupt your long-term weight loss and fitness plan.
