So, in reference to glycogen storage, what are those six pounds you happened to lose on a crash/scam diet really composed of? I always assumed a good portion was water weight from a steep sodium reduction, but how many glycogen byproducts make up that loss?
Or maybe, I'm just curious about glycogen in absolute mass contained through the body. I always like fun anatomy facts, like how much a liver weighs and stuff.
How much do you think ~~my glycogen~~ the glycogen contained in an average person weighs?
