Each gram of carbohydrate stored in your body requires 3-4 gms of water. When you burn those carbs the water is also released. That's one reason dieters often find themselves shedding a lot of weight when they restrict caloric input, their glycogen stores along with the associated water is reduced giving the illusion of rapid weight loss.
