Experts are always saying that when we first start dieting that it’s the water weight that’s lost meaning it’s not fat or muscle. Can you explain what this water weight is exactly and where does it come from?

What would be the approximate normal amount of “water weight” that’s lost in an average male of say 175lbs and 510″ and a woman of 167lbs and 5 6″

Is this “water weight” the weight that can fluctuate within a 24 x hour or 48 hour period?

Water has weight. If you have lots of water in you you weigh more. Get rid of some water, lose some weight. But it’s just the weight of the water.
