It's more likely glycogen/water weight. After you stop losing the "quick weight," then it'll be more fat and/or muscle. The body will tend to catabolize a little muscle through gluconeogenesis to make some glycogen here and there. An unfortunate downside to a low carb diet.
If you grow tired of it, and have never done it before, try an IIFYM diet. Use the IIFM web calculator and count your macros, hit your numbers. Easiest thing I've ever done - in combination with a lifting/cardo program - to get ripped.
