Most of the weight loss would be water weight from glycogen stores being depleted, not fat being burned.

This is correct. You can expect maybe a kilogram of fat (2 lbs) per week on a very restricted diet. Much more than that is hard to maintain over a longer period and unrealistic. When you first start with a keto diet, you can easily expect 3-4 kilogram of water weight being lost.

Exactly, which puts things into perspective regarding claims/opinions/recommendations.
