Sweat. The comment above was about kidneys only.

Try this: weight yourself before and after sleep.

You're also breathing in your sleep, exhaling carbon, which is normally how you lose weight anyways.

yes! veritasium did a pretty fun video on this some time back.

Did he take a 1.5Kg dump? Isn't that a huge one?

I agree, despite the other comments, the math doesn't work out here.

Yes, the statement is about kidneys. It is only about kidneys, though, and includes all of the information.

No, it has nothing to do with breathing or any other method of eliminating water. The statement says that kidneys max out at 1.0 liters per hour, and 28 liters per day. One of those 2 is obviously wrong, unless we aren't talking about Earth.

Body needs water so it doesn't have to eliminate all that it gets! Do you think we drink water to rinse our internal organs?

Why do you think they call it a liquid "cleanse" diet.

If you mean detox diet then water may be a part of it but it is not a detox diet itself.

Presumably your body uses or stores some of it.
