Water Weight

[lgnorant]

Would the water weight and glycogen loss be similiar with a

very high protein, high fat, no carb diet (350/30/110)

compared to

Standard Keto (185/30/185)



Im not fussed about being "in ketosis" only to get rid of water weight and muscle glycogen, would the extra protein somehow inhibit water loss or does ketosis promote more water loss? wanting to lose alot of water in span of <3 weeks.

Thanks fellas, please no comments on "so much protein, drop it, wtf"

I am not a nutrition expert, but from what I've read about low-carb keto diets, if you follow a standard keto diet (SKD) of 65% fats, 35% proteins and 5% carbohydrates, you will lose water weight

I think any diet with low carbs will help lose water weight. carbs hold onto water it seems.

I don't know if it is relevant but I use imagery to help me understand. compare bread and rice and all carbs to sponge. if you think about it, all carbs absorb water. so if you have a lot of little sponges in your diet, you will hold water. fat and water physically can't mix. think of oil on water, it always separates.
