Is it medically possible to lose 25kg in 45 days? That’s like 1.2 lbs per day. You’d have to eat literally nothing and also run a marathon every single day. This part seems wildly implausible.
Yes it is. He will e starved and dehydrated, on top of extremely busy. In my training years, we lost weight working in UK hospitalson on what we thought were long difficult shifts.
The article doesn’t allege starving, dehydration, or forced labor. Even assuming appalling conditions, with ~500 kcal per day, and accounting for 5-10 lbs of water weight loss due to dehydration, we’d still be talking about a daily calorie deficit of around -3000 kcal. That’s “run a marathon every day” territory. I don’t see how that is physically possible.
I lost 22kg in 7 days, but I was in a hospital undergoing treatment for fluid retention.
I lost about 4L of water every day for 7 days.
So what’s it like to actually piss like a racehorse? I bet it gets old around day 4
OMG, you have no idea. Plus it’s a losing battle. You can’t get dehydrated, so you’re onboarding fluids too.
