I recently made a diet change - I significantly reduced pastas, rice, and bread in my diet. I used to eat a shitload of these every day. Now I eat a lot more vegetables with my meat instead.
I still get carbs in the form of sugars, usually post workout in liquid form. I don't eat any sugary shit. I don't eat confectionary, chocolates, cereal, and so forth.
I always weigh myself in the morning after urination. I went from waking up at 89-90kg, to waking up at 85.5-86kg in the space of about 10 days.
My question here is: I understand that there will be a loss of water-weight when grains are switched out of the diet. This effect is almost immediate. When can I expect this loss to cease?
I am asking this to avoid the following scenario: I continue losing weight rather quickly, and put it down to losses in water-weight or whatever, when really I am losing LBM.
Another question I have is in regard to the water weight itself.... where was all this water stored? In my muscle? My organs? Where?
Another situation I have encountered, is the possibility of actually going up a weight division (eventually) for competition (kickboxing). This would be after my next amateur bout which is planned for 82 kg. Once I decide to do this, I will want to add LBM obviously. Should I then reintroduce grains and pastas to help with my weight gain? Is this expeditious? I understand that all I need is a calorie surplus - which is more desirable: A calorie surplus of X without pastas/rice etc, or a calorie surplus of X including pastas/rice etc?
