One stone is 14 pounds. That’s a large bag of cat litter. Or a small, unhappy dachshund. Can you really poo out a dachshund in a week?
No. But you can sweat out a cat litter bag. A study once showed that a wrestler lost 12 pounds in a single session. He didn’t lose fat. He lost steam.
Your body is 60% water. That’s a lot of potential “weight loss” without losing a single ounce of jelly. It’s a deception, but a fascinating one.
The “No-Carb, All-Pee” Diet
Popular seven-day plans love a very low-carb diet. Why? Because carbs are water magnets. For every gram of carb you store, you store three grams of water.
Cut the carbs, and your kidneys throw a party. They flush out the water. You’ll visit the bathroom more than a goldfish with a bladder infection.
It’s not comfortable. You might feel a bit dizzy. But hey, you’re losing a stone! Or at least, you’re losing the illusion of a stone.
