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.
