    Cutting out carbs will make you initially drop a lot of weight, but it’s just water weight. Ultimately people want to drop body fat, and cutting out a useful macronutrient isn’t the best way to do that. Calorie deficit is the only way. You’re best off cutting out calorie dense foods, and overly palatable stuff that doesn’t fill you up.

      Low carb dieting has a number of effects which can vary from person to person. Losing water weight can be one of those effects. Many people find it much easier to lose fat on low carb diets. I am one of those people. I just also like beer and pizza.
