Just keep in mind that most of the weight people lose initially is just water weight.

For every gram of glycogen (carbohydrate) stored intramuscularly, three grams of water are stored.

When you start reducing carbs, you reduce glycogen stores as well, hence the water weight loss.

It's the same principle (in reverse) with creatine, force more ATP to be stored and you'll increase your bodyweight (due to intramuscular water retention) as well.
