Placeholder as in the cells temporarily takes in more water to replace the fat that’s no longer there. Either the fat gets replaced or the cell releases the water (and its weight) and …whoosh. Again I say I don’t know how accurate it is but it’s a well repeated explanation

Why would you use an inside joke in a reply to a person not on the inside without an explanation? If feels pretty mean and childish as you are laughing at me, with others, publicly when I have no idea why. Were you a bully at school too?
How many fat cells would need to dump their placeholder water on the same day to achieve a 'whoosh' that you could see as a drop of a kilo in body weight? Is some part of the brain controlling this whoosh moment? What is the purpose of the placeholder at a cellular level and in the centrally coordinated whoosh mechanism?

It is indeed a well repeated explanation. All it takes is for one person to come up with a simple but false theory, put it on social media or talk about it in a YouTube video, and it can become a well repeated explanation.

The joke was for you HSS, in reference to something we discussed on another forum. I'm not laughing at you or anyone, nor am I trying to bully anyone. I'm just allergic to false information presented as fact.

I would only assume that as deliberate weight loss began at a single point in time a significant number of cells would therefore be in sync with regard to their fat loss/water holding/releasing. You make valid points about the theory - and how false ones could spread, hence my qualifiers about not knowing the source of the claims. I certainly didn’t intend to represent it as “fact”, more possible explanation, and thought I’d covered that. I’d like to see some evidence about the “whoosh” because it certainly seems to happen even if we can’t be sure why.

Thank you for clarifying but perhaps you could pm me about which other forum and your username on there as I’m still none the wiser.
