I second this. It strikes me as a way for a woman who hasn't been watching her weight in any particular way to drop a lot of
water weight very quickly... Kind of like the same way that many/most people lose a fairly large amount of weight within their first week or so of starting a new plan, because your body flushes out all that water first. It's like those articles in women's magazines that are like "Lose 5 lbs in 3 days!!"--all they do is recommend things that help with water retention like eating less sodium, drinking tons of water, eating foods that de-bloat you, etc. Things that like won't work nearly as well for a big dramatic weight loss if you've
already been doing them... What weight you do lose is more likely to be the response of malnutrition/starving yourself on cereal.
