Cheers, Claire. voice-verified

So this is a really interesting question. voice-verified

And the reason why it's interesting is because I have many conversations with people, clients and non-clients who often question voice-verified

whether cutting carbs is the answer or will say to me,

Oh, I've been on holiday and I haven't lost much weight, so I'm thinking, shall I just cut my carbs to fifty grams a day for the next week?

And

It's a question that

I'll probably get more than any other. voice-verified

So voice-verified

Claire's very much not alone here. voice-verified

So let's start with the bits that's going to take the pressure off straight away. voice-verified

When you cut carbs and the weight drops in a week, that is almost entirely water. voice-verified

It's not fat. voice-verified

And I know that's not the sexy answer, but stick with me here because um it's important. voice-verified

Here's what's going on. voice-verified

Your body stores carbs as something called glycogen, which we've spoken about before. voice-verified

And in your muscles and liver is where glycogen lives. voice-verified

And every gram of glycogen holds on to roughly three grams of water alongside it. voice-verified

Sometimes that can go up to seven grams. voice-verified

So when you slash carbs, you burn through those glycogen stores, and all the water gets flushed out. voice-verified
