not really. you jsut lose a lot of water. Once you get all dehydrated and drink your next glass of water the weight is back.

Well yeah, because you're basically losing all of the contents in your stomach, but diarrhea is mostly water, which your body needs. So in a matter of days, as you begin to rehydrate yourself, you'll gain most of that weight right back. In the short term, yes, you would probably lose about 3 lbs or so, but in the long run, you don't really lose any weight.

No. Not at all. It actually depletes the body of all the good things it needs, and can cause major dehydration.

You don't lose weight as in fat. You lose fluids and it won't look like you're any thinner or anything. As soon as you drink water or eat anything again it comes back.
