Scientific studies confirm that reducing carbohydrate intake leads to significant decreases in water retention, primarily due to the way the body stores energy as glycogen.
When carbohydrates are absorbed, they bind to water; 1g of glycogen (carbohydrate) binds to 3g of water. If you eat a diet that is very high in carbohydrates, you will put on water weight because of all the excess water that you absorb with the carbohydrates. When you metabolize the carbohydrates, for example, during exercise, the water molecules are released.
