Not sure what was your starting weight. But 5 kg is within the realm of normal weight fluctuations over a week for an average American.

Are you sure, I get a one or two kg swing, but 5kg of weight seems a bit extreme.
I'm not American, but in my part of the world people tend to have gradual trends to weight, not sudden swings.
Weigh yourself with a digestive tract full of food and water, then weigh yourself after fasting for a day. At 200lbs I can swing the scale 15lbs/6+kg. Fat people can probably swing some serious numbers.
Seems like a pretty unusual swing though. Gorging then fasting is certainly not typical behavior.
I can see this happening given such behavior, as well as in the "heavier" portion of the population. definitely not a common occurrence across the population though.
It's doable depending on your body size. I'm 180cm and 95 to 99 Kg depending on the day.
When I do weight loss, I can plot it daily and it's going down on average but there are large swings on most days.
I can gain or lose on the order of 15lbs in a single day when switching to/from a ketogenic diet due to water retention.
when u weigh 400lbs and eat forty twinkings and hour, sure, 5kg weekly fluctations may be normal.
Your fat because you consume to many caloiries for what you put out. Pretty simple.
I went week on/off vego, from being a meat eater near daily, dropped weight without adjusting anything else.
You are what you ate. You cant hide from it. If you look down and see some rolls, thats not cause you didnt exercise enough!
I went from doing gym weekly in my 20s, to my 30s where i dont touch consciously exercise at all yet im bigger, leaner, and have my abs back. My uncle, who at my ate became a fat bastard and never stopped; used to be a body builder on the roids. He had a sweet phsyic for about 1 year.
The easier way to make money in this world, is to fool fat people into thinking your product will let them have their cake, and eat it to. I say fat people the say way people refer to a drug addict. Its the same thing, cept your comfort blanket is legal and readyly accessible, 24/7/7, being pushed at you constantly whenever you look.
I say this as a child of a mother who was/is fat due to being in an abusive relationship with my father. She cheated through every diet she every did. Until she got her stomach stapled; when overnight she SHED weight, was no longer diabetic, and is currently 66yrs old and going strong (stapled around 49).
I'd give the commenter the benefit of the doubt that they measured over a few days, and not just two isolated data points.
