Hello! I'm a 18 year old guy, new to these forums. I've been following the Rebel Fitness Guide for a week now, with the workouts and also about 80% paleo (sometimes I eat rice or noodles), and I've been noticing that my love handles are shrinking in size, along with my chest fats, quite significantly. This is especially so with my love handles. I used to be able to grab them with my hands full, now less so. My chest too looks less protruding when I stand side view in front of a mirror. However, my face shape didn't change much and my weight only decreased by about half a kg, so I've been wondering, are the things I'm losing water or fats, and why is the change quite drastic even though my weight didn't change much? Thanks so much!

Hello! I'm a 18 year old guy from Singapore. I've recently bought the Rebel Fitness Guide to prepare myself and to lose weight before my conscription in March (Yes conscription in the Armed Forces in Singapore is compulsory). I'm currently 80 kg (176 lbs) and I want to lose at least 10- 15kg by this year, and keep it off. I've been following the guide for about a week, not entirely religiously though. I still eat carbs, noodles especially, during the weekends for lunch. (My cheat meals!) I'm not sure whether its just me but my stomach and my chest seems to be less protruding. Also, my arms are sort of getting bigger and biceps more visible. Could a week of more controlled eating and exercising following the guide produce such results?
