Jim, when you say three kinds of weight loss, are you thinking of three methods? It seems to me that the three kinds of weight loss can only be fat loss, water loss, and muscle loss, and all real-world weight loss involves all three, in different ratios.
Carb reduction or fasting start with pronounced water loss, followed by gradual fat loss and a little muscle loss. But there too calories/energy play a role, as does any metabolic idiosyncrasy.

I believe there are three kinds of weight loss. The first comes from taking in more energy than you expend or excrete. We know now that this is not a simple caloric calculus, but I won't get into that in this post. The second is water weight, which is most of the weight you tend to lose when you are eating an equi-caloric Paleo versus standard diet.. And the third is reducing carbohydrates. I believe, other than surgery or accident, that that's the entire universe of possibilities.
