I sometimes go on the scales before and after a set of spin cycling - once, during a particularly long set, I lost 2½ kg despite drinking upwards of 2 liters of water. And that loss is almost only water - the actual loss in glucose, or fat, is no doubt a very small part of it. I suppose it would be possible to calculate it, though ... :ask:
