Unbelievable: 30 day fasts only happen in the Bible stories. Human beings die after 7 days without any water input! Nevertheless, sudden weight gains or losses are invariably due to water gains or losses. Think of weighing a dry towel, then letting it soak in water for a little while, then weighing it, then ringing it out, then weighing it again. Compare the 3 weights. Big rise then big fall but all just water!
