The initial weight loss from dieting is apparently mostly water.
High sodium and high carb diets can lead to water retention.
That probably describes most people's diets.

Where do you stand on the strawberry debate
If you stand on strawberries instead of eating then, you're an idiot. Hth! 🙂
Unless you're picking strawberries off plants growing on the ground in which case it's probably accidental so I forgive you.
Standing on strawberries is less calorific than eating them though.
Long steady efforts like all day hikes and bike rides are so good for weight loss because they keep you further from the fridge.
Feel like this could be aimed at me.
But it's true.
A good weekend riding every day does way more for my health than just the physical activity. Oneup nearly got the slogan right for me, in reality it becomes "Ride more, Eat less".
“no good choices ever come after a few beers.”
jaeger bombs?
Beer garden sumo?
Stealing your mates dads pornos?
Breaking in to the bowling club?
Unless a doctor/ dietician says otherwise, set exercise as your goal and just try to enjoy yourself.
Dieting as a singular goal will only bring disappointment in the short term. Toss the scales.
You will experience cravings for delightful things as your exercise-induced metabolism rises. Don’t ignore them, but keep your teeth tip-top.
