    None of this answered my question.

    If you kidnapped someone and didn’t feed them at all for 45 days, they’d lose around 25 pounds. This guy claims he lost 55 pounds. Every resource I find indicates that this is literally impossible, hence my question.

      Your question is cynical at best, but probably a sad attempt at derailing the discussion. Instead of talking about the well documented systemic torture of Palestinians you want us to discuss the technicality of whether it’s possible or not to lose x KG in Y days. Let’s say it’s only possible to lose x-1KG in Y days. It won’t change anything about the fact that there are ten thousands of Palestinians who have been detained & tortured by an ethno nationalist settler colony that is currently genociding Palestinians.

        I’m asking a super simple question about one of the claims. It sounds like you agree that it is physically impossible to lose that much weight that quickly. I’m not questioning the rest of the article.
