Butter AND coconut oil are saturated fats. Saturated fats (even those from meat) are not only safe, but beneficial.

Also, a good amount of that whoosh of weight loss during induction can be attributed to water. One of the great side effects of cutting carbs is it rids you of the bloating and puffiness that can plague you when your tissues are holding tanks for carbs.

Default question about water retention

It doesn't seem to matter too much how much water I drink or when.....I do get in the mandatory minimum of 64 oz. each day.........but I am puzzled why I seem to go up and down with water retention during the day.
The reason I know this is my wrist watch will be tight at times and then a little while later it will be lose and more comfortable. It is a stainless steel bracelet so I know it is not shrinking and swelling or anything.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for when my wrist is a little larger or when it is smaller.??????????????
