Glucose and weight loss

incisron

I've read that your body sheds glucose and water weight before burning fat. So if I eat carby foods and / or high sodium foods within my calories that cause me to gain water weight, will I be unable to lose fat for the days in which the water weight stays on?
Thanks.

I think you mean glycogen, not glucose. Glucose is sugar.

And the answer is no, retaining water does not cause you to be unable to lose fat.

You lose body fat each day that you're in a calorie deficit. What you read is irrelevant to long-term fat loss.

As long as you eat lots of carbs you won't be burning much fat. Instead it will be Muscle and water. Keeping carbs below 100 grams/day would be best for fat loss.
