00:00If you want to lose weight as fast as possible, cutting out carbs is the single most effective
00:04thing you can do. That's because it will keep your insulin levels low, which allows your body
00:08to burn fat at a faster rate. Okay, no, it actually has nothing to do with that, regardless of what
00:11all these low-carb social media muppets might try to tell you. It's simply because when you cut out
00:20carbs, you'll also quickly lose a lot of water weight since every gram of stored carbohydrate
00:24also stores around 3 grams of water along with it. So many people switch over to a low-carb diet
00:28and then get all excited when they step on the scale to see that they've lost 10 pounds in two
00:32weeks, but unfortunately, weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. When it comes to fat loss,
00:37which I assume is what you're after, the only true requirement is that you maintain a calorie
00:41deficit, not that you cut out individual macronutrients or even individual foods. Now,
00:45if you just prefer eating low-carb, then that's totally fine, but you're not going to lose fat
00:49at a faster rate compared to someone who does eat carbs if the total calories are the same.
