Not when you are morbidly obese like the author was. When you are that big( pushing 300lbs) it's not uncommon to loose 5lbs a week at the start.

  Why is the weight loss mechanism different under those circumstances?

    Might be due to the muscle mass needed to carry such a heavy body around? Big muscles waste energy, even doing nothing much at all.

    Is it that much different? 5/300 vs, say, 2/150 is only 25% larger.
