DESCRIPTION: 

Carbs and water retention:

Carbohydrate intake can lead to extra temporary water retention in your body’s cells. This is due to the way carbs are stored in our bodies.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as some stored carbs play a role in providing energy between meals.
Some of the carbs you consume are stored in the form of glycogen. For every one gram of carbohydrate stored in the body (as glycogen) there is approximately 2-3 grams of water retained.
Therefore 1 gram of carb can equal up to 3-4 grams in temporary weight increase.
Glycogen (Stored Carbs/energy) is stored in your liver and muscles where it can quickly turn into glucose to provide energy when you need it.
Molecules of glycogen contain water and therefore the more glycogen you store the more water you retain in the process.

Low carbs diets - weight tracking:

When people go on diets or restrict carbohydrate intake, they will see initial weight loss as “water weight” is lost with the loss of muscle glycogen due...
