This is getting too long to respond to all of these. So I will just address your first points: >1. That you know what time of day you lost weight in. I have no idea when _fat_ was processed, never my point. I know _exactly_ when my weight diminished. (I feel like I did not make this point very clear before) >2. That you know you lost weight primarily through your urine. >You did not control for water weight when testing either of these hypotheses. It is well understood method to weigh yourself every morning to ensure you aren't measuring water weight loss. Feel free to argue against this standard, it's not my personal belief. I do believe doctors and physical trainers, etc... all use this standard.

> I have no idea when _fat_ was processed, never my point. I know _exactly_ when my weight diminished. (I feel like I did not make this point very clear before) I'm pretty sure you've been clear. Your idea is: 1. Fat is processed into fat waste at some point. 2. Fat waste comes out in urine in the morning. 2 is almost completely wrong, and you've provided no evidence for that assertion. > It is well understood method to weigh yourself every morning to ensure you aren't measuring water weight loss. Feel free to argue against this standard, it's not my personal belief. I do believe doctors and physical trainers, etc... all use this standard. In a scientific experiment, you control for a confounding factor by isolating the phenomena you are measuring from another phenomena that might screw up your measurements. If you're measuring your weight every day, the confounding factor is the weight of things that aren't you: water/food/waste. So you separate out weighing you and weighing the water/food/waste by weighing yourself when there's the least water/food/waste in your system. So this is how you control the measurement of your weight for water weight. If you're measuring the weight of waste products that come from processing fat, the confounding factors are still water/food/waste in your system, but the waste products that come from processing fat are mixed in with them, and there's no way to measure them separately. Measuring in the morning doesn't fix this problem. So this doesn't control the measurement of the waste products that come from processing fat's weight for water weight. It is well understood that 85% of fat weight lost is exhaled as carbon dioxide, so if you're going to tell me what is well understood, you might actually want to find out more of what is well understood.

  It is well understood that sleep effects weight loss. My point more succinctly: 8 hours of being awake + urination = similar weight from 8 hours previous. 8 hours of high quality sleep + urination = less weight from 8 hours previously. A simple repeating of the test will prove me wrong.
