Yes, thank you, this is a better way of describing the process that I observed. But I would add to this, that it seems that you can lose some net lost weight from not having enough time sleeping for the process to finish. Maybe like how a sceptic tank gets filled and drained repeatedly, but only gets drained at night (for an equal analogy). And if there's not enough night (sleep), it can't drain completely, therefore retaining waste. It would explain also why you get sick if you don't get enough sleep... something else to ponder.
