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.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not. In. A. Week.
If you stop eating for a week you can lose a cool 7kg of a lot more than just water mass. Get off your high (uninformed) horse
Read the original post ffs. They said "i ate better and walked a bunch". Not "starved myself for a week".
Yes, in less than a week even! Try it sometime. Its really cool to watch your body adjust and see just how much control you have over your body!
If you don't regularly exercise and start exercising 5 days a week you will see the changes in your own body after about a week, you might see a small change on the scale after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks someone close to you should be able to see the changes in your body, and after 12 weeks someone you don't see often should be able to see the changes in your body. Since you see yourself every day and you can feel how your body feels you can see the change very quickly
You aren't going to "slim down" in a week no matter what you do. Read the freaking post too instead of jumping in with "excercise 5 times a week". They said "I moved to Japan, ate better and walked around for a week and I got noticeably slimmer". That's not a true statement, simple as.
Actually the person you responded to in this thread (/u/[email protected]) shared a lived experience where they could observe changes in their body after just a week of drastic diet improvement, just as I'm sharing my own lived experiences where I can observe changes in my body related to diet and activity in just a week, while you're just saying "Not. In. A. Week."
I'll just close by repeating myself: Try it sometime! Its really cool to watch your body adjust and see just how much control you have over your body!
