So after coming to terms with the fact that I have a sugar addiction, I decided to cut my sugar intake and carb intake down dramatically this week starting on Tuesday.
At first, I wanted to go into ketosis so that the carb and sugar cravings would stop but eating less than 20g of carbs a day is just not for me.
Anyhoo despite not going into ketosis, I have dropped more than 10lbs of water weight, 1.5lbs of fat (i have a weight watchers scale) and bone mass went down by 1 in 5 days.
Should I be losing that much that fast. I have been eating between 1000-1300 a day. And I try to go pass 1000 as much as possible but its hard without going over carbs. I don't want to go over 60g.
Also I started at 210-212 on Tuesday. Currently 201 today.

How does bone mass go down? Osteoporosis?0

Those scales that give body composition numbers are inaccurate (not for weight but the other numbers) so you didn't necessarily lose any bone mass1
