10lbs water loss in the first few weeks with the Atkins diet!!!????

wow most of us don't drink enough water in the first place.

where did I get theat from??

Mark L "I don't know how someone can lose 4lbs of water. Please explain that Tim. Was he over highdrated?? I needed to drop 4lbs of water? I know daily it can fluctuate alot and water has alot to do with wait but if you lost 4lbs in a week you'd be hurting I think."

Tim- "I've lost 10 lbs. of water from one workout before. Any fighter that has to make weight does the same. (or more...Ivan Salaverry cuts to my weight and he looks at least 25-30 lbs. heavier when we're standing next to each other) Changes in diet have a way of making you lose weight quickly and gain it back quickly; it's water. I don't feel like typing up a manifesto explaining anything else so do a fucking google search :)"

"No, i wouldn't try to tell you I kept it off. Where did you even get that from? I gained it right back. It's common for people to lose up to 10 lbs. within the first few weeks on a diet, then gain it right back even if they're on the same diet. This always happens with the atkins diet. It's water loss. It does work long term and is great for losing weight, though. You just hear about a lot of people that didn't like it quitting after two weeks and saying that they lose 10 lbs. right away, then quitting the diet and gaining it back."

So two weeks you can keep off 10lbs in water when most of us don't even drink enough and aren't hydrated enough. I did some looking but nothing I found explained this.

I have never heard of peopl going on a diet and losing 10lbs in the first couple weeks. How do they function. I'm missing something here cause that makes no sense to me.
