This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Because it's a week lol you're talking about losing water from sweating, stored sugars in muscles from exercising, and a teensy bit of fat loss. you haven't "lost a lot" you're just on vacation
what's it to me? I like to tell people when they're wrong in the internet. you said something stupid. hello.
lifestyle change and public transit are great but you're just on vacation. and this is coming from someone who lived over a decade in the Americas and Asia both.
Your diet does make a real difference, more than you credit for in your reply. In university I had pizza almost every day for a month, I gained 15 lbs (7 kg) and had a way flabbier stomach. I stopped doing that and tried to eat healthier, incorporating salad with my meals, and in just about a week I started noticing it going away, and I was back to where I was before in 3 months.
It wouldn't surprise me too much to see how a body would react noticeably to a drastic change from a sedentary, highly processed carbohydrate diet and lifestyle to an active, more balanced one. Everyone's body is different of course so it won't always be the case, but to me the OP's claims seem far from impossible. Japan still has its share of oily foodstuff, but the average portion is tiny compared to the US.
Cool, all of that within a week?
There is no chance there is a visible change from a week of eating salads, no matter how fast your metabolism is.
People will argue about anything on the internet, just like lying.
