Question: If 3500 cal to lose 1 lb is used to determine calorie deficit and weight loss estimates, how am I losing 1.3 lbs daily on healing water fast over last 3 days?

Background info: I find it interesting that I'm losing 1.3 lbs per day on my healing fast - 1pm will mark finish of day 3, start of day 4. I've been fairly low on carbs for example my July avg was under 40 g daily. I've been drinking about 2 L water daily for 1-2 weeks now. I don't believe that it is water weight as I had a pretty bad swelling problem with ankles and knees for over a year that I addressed with change in eating habits starting with FS at end of May, and I have had visible ankles with little swelling for some time now and have been seeing changes in my knees and legs as well. Also, not doing much of anything except extremely slow walk around block twice a day and very little work around house - much less than I used to do.

Any thoughts?
