What is your body really losing in week 1 compared with week 4 of weight loss? This video explains how glycogen, water, gut contents, body fat, muscle, insulin sensitivity, appetite, and energy expenditure change as a calorie deficit continues. Learn why the first week can produce a large scale drop without equally large fat loss, why later weeks may show slower weight loss but more meaningful fat loss, and how protein, resistance training, walking, sleep, and a sustainable calorie deficit help preserve lean mass. #WeightLoss #FatLoss #BodyFat #WaterWeight #Glycogen #BodyComposition #CalorieDeficit #Metabolism #MusclePreservation #FatLossScience
