A torque could, because thats the rotational force about a pivot (rather than a simple up down vector), a normal person would have a lower center of gravity. But since this blood has been forced to the upper portion of your body, your centre of gravity shifts upwards increasing the effect of the torque.

YB, I wish I had a teacher like that

Interesting, torque, eh!
A bit like if you drove around in tight circles real fast some of the downward weight would get transferred outwards.
That's not actually a force per say, more of a "pseudo" force, caused by the inertia of your body, making it feel like your being pushed outwards. The actual force vectors are directly ahead of you and at the center of the curve that you are traveling, if that makes sense. Finally my physics is coming in handy

But yeah that's basically it, plus since the overall force change would be hardly noticeable to you while standing on the scales. So it's actually a pretty sweet way to lose a little bit extra weight if your needing a slight amount.

Edit: I do love your point of views Andre, I don't think saddo's would be the same without it. I'm always intrigued by what you have to say, makes me want to learn the deeper things in this life
