steve7stud 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Is it possible for a person to gain 8 pounds in 24 hours?It doesn't seem like you can do that.....however I know that you can lose 8 pounds in 24 hours.Please give me your thoughts..... Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If you could eat 32 quarter pounders in a day without taking a crap, then I'd assume it's possible. Link to post Share on other sites

checkymcfold 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 you could probably pull it off if you kind of rigged it such that you drank a lot of some sort of dense liquid right at the end, then measured yourself before you had to piss it out, AND kind of starved/dehydrated yourself before the original measurement.

I'm not so sure. And the rules would stipulate tha he HAS to urinate and deficate during the 24 hour period..... Link to post Share on other sites

cubsfan44 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I would think the key to winning this would be to starve yourself beforehand making your weight artificially low. How much weight do those UFC fighters put on in between weigh ins and the fight? Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 AND kind of starved/dehydrated yourself before the original measurement.This is key. Water weight alone can be 5 to 10 pounds, so if you dehydrated/starved yourself for a few days before the bet, I think it could easily be done. Link to post Share on other sites

And the rules would stipulate tha he HAS to urinate and deficate during the 24 hour period.....the more i think about it, the more i'm pretty sure you could pull it off. you'd probably feel like dying at the end, and the beginning, but with the right amount of effort, i'm buying it.

Ex_Matt 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If you could eat 32 quarter pounders in a day without taking a crap, then I'd assume it's possible.It'd be less than 32.Gotta account for the bread weight. Link to post Share on other sites
mhoward29 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 What about that liquid metal stuff you drink before they take an x-ray? I had to drink that when they suspected I had an esophogus tear and it coats everything and reflects in an x-ray. I think you drink the same thing for an ulcer. Link to post Share on other sites
cubsfan44 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It'd be less than 32.Gotta account for the bread weight.You do realize that quarter pound burgers are weighed before they are cooked right? Link to post Share on other sites
mhoward29 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 so is the bet like you weigh in at noon on per say Saturday and then weigh in at noon on Sunday with deficated or urinating once during the 24hr period? Also if you drink anywhere close to 3-4lbs of a liquid you are going to piss it out soooo fast, no matter if you are extremely dehydrated or not. Try not drinking for say 8hrs, then drink a gallon of water (which most people cant do anyway) and see what happens.Edit: Also on that liquid metal stuff, its extremely dense and I think a 12 fl. oz. glass of it would weigh at least 2-3 pounds.

silkyjonson 1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If he is weighed right after he takes a huge dump that could help, and if he could force himself to vomit before being weighed, well you guys get the picture. You could even ingest some pretty heavy materials (that you normally would'nt eat) and pass them later. So if I were to take this bet I would make sure to cover some of these.

DVD ROTS 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think you could definitely do this, but it's gotta be one of the least healthy things you can do to yourself. Basically, dehydrate before the initial weigh-in, then rehydrate for the next 24-hours, and consume high-density foods.Makes me kind of sick to contemplate, though. Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Plus he could die from drinking too much water. Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If I weigh myself first thing in the morning, and then after a meal in the evening... on a normal day... I'm usually around 3lbs heavier anyway. (I'm 6'1, 185lbs)So, I'm sure an extra 5lbs wouldn't be that hard if I tried. Link to post Share on other sites
Pack149 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I know for a fact that you could lose 8 pounds in a day (I have done it before). I think its possible to gain that amount in 24 hours as well. Even if he urinates/defecates during the 24 hour period, he can still add a ton of food/water that wont be completely digested by the weigh in. As someone who used to have to watch weight fluctuations, I think its possible. Link to post Share on other sites
