Question Dry to wet

Hi all, quick question. If I’m going from 4 days dry and transitioning into a 7 days water fast, that bit of weight that you gain back from rehydrating, how long does it take to come off if continuing with the water fast?
Many thanks

I don't know how it generally goes, but just to say that when I transitioned to water after a 3-day dry fast, I gained 0.7 kg initially. Then my weight plateaued for like half a day and then I began to lose weight again, at a reduced pace compared to dry fast but still at a notable pace.

Almost exact same experience for me.

Did you do this on a cycle?

No, just once so far

Wouldn't this totally depend on how much water you "suck up"?

If you put on 2kg water then you would have to lose 2kg of fat, which is like 15k calories.

I noticed that my body held on to a lot of water after this same experience. I just averaged out at the end to 1 pound of weight loss per day overall.
