    Mostly of the weight loss would be water.

    No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics

      If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it’s probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.

      Plus anything that was in your intestines / bowels. There’s no fibre in there at all.

      I used to have to “make weight” and water and empty intestines are the short version of how it’s done.

          Is that true? It wouldn’t surprise me. When I was competing in that weight category sport I had a very skewed view of what I considered overweight (for me).

          99% of the population would have considered me lean as fuck when I thought otherwise.

            I was going to say, sounds like the shit the wrestlers used to do back in high school. Always seemed wildly unhealthy.
