I’ve cut sugar and white carbs for past 3 weeks and my cravings and hunger is very little now which I love.
my partner has noticed my face is slimmer and I can feel my clothes fitting better so I know my body has changed, however the scales show maybe 1-2 pounds of difference.
how is this possible?!
im not exercising more than usual so its not muscle gain or anything.
also why are we so fixated on scales when it is about how clothes are on us!! Wish I could just forget the scales!!

i suspect less bloating and generally feeling healthier and holding yourself more self confidently

In the initial period of cutting carbs your body utilises glycogen from your muscles which holds a lot of water. When you shed this water, you look a bit less "puffy". Usually people see a significant amount of weight loss too though as the water is heavy.
