half a stone in 90 minutes and have NO side effects? I doubt that.
To be accurate, I said "with little stress" and "recover in a couple of hours" so obviously there are SOME effects to recover from, but basically I can still fight even right away.

I have done this many times, and not for the purpose of weight lost, just because I sweat really healthy and easily.

The most I have recorded lately is 9 1/2 lbs even at age 57, although I suspect I could do a bit more.

Once did 12 lbs in less than 24 hours for a wrestling match (40 years ago) and won (not planned, had to wrestle in place of an injured team mate who was hurt the day before the match.)

And please remember, I am not advocating this, just stating a fact and pointing out that this is all water which will be gained back almost immediately -- to lose real weight takes time.

The only reason I am even responding again is because of the words "I doubt that".

When I make a statement of fact from experience, never doubt it.
