I think when I had it last year I got off quite lightly, as it just knocked me out for about 2 weeks.
It was better than any fad diets as well, I lost loads of weight 
You're spot on, Jaime, I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 6lbs over the last couple of weeks.
Most of that will be due to dehydration. Lots of pissing, shitting, and sweating, I imagine. 
Yep, plus food tasting like, well, nothing. Just a blob of something in your mouth 
Also....people generally weigh quite a bit more in the late evening when compared to first thing in the morning.
4-10 lb is not unusual (especially if consuming fine ale) 
Correct, that's why I get weighed in the morning before I get dressed and before I have anything to eat. The stupid nurse up at the doctors told me I was overweight after jumping on her scales fully dressed, straight after lunch with pockets full of crap. I told her.......well, you know what I told her
