Weight Loss Accountant

So what accounts for lost weight if we lose it too quickly?

Can it all account for fat loss?

There will be a loss of:

Water - Less food eaten often results in slight dehydration and a net loss of water.
Glycogen - Carbs stores in muscles are lowered so there's a net loss of further fluids from the body.
Protein - protein usage for energy needs results in additional water loss.
Less feces in system - more is excreted than replaced due to lower food intake.
Fat - fat loss will acount for a small percentage.

All the above losses from the body will depend on several factors such as; how strict the calorie intake is, how much exercise is done, age of individual, etc. It is fact that all of us will lose some of the above losses from the body. The difference is how much of a proportion for each individual. Some people will obviously lose more stored fat than some others. And generally, those who tend to struggle with their weight will more than likely lose too much protein from the muscles. This affects the metabolism rate quickly, so he/she stops losing further weight and reaches a plateau quickly.

At the beginning of a strict diet program, fat will be lost. Although, it will more for the first day or two. When the body lowers its metabolism (due to loss of protein for energy), the fat loss will decline rapidly because the body will require less energy.
