The 40 pounds thing is curious, but also is reporting from a single source without much context. It’s not clear, for instance, if the sheriff may have been exaggerating for effect and someone at the paper decided to turn it into something it’s not. 40lbs is a significant weight loss and should be fairly noticeable. His diet is almost certainly much more restrictive than it would be outside of jail and it doesn’t look like he’s lost a significant amount of weight since being arrested.
I’m just not really sure how much reality there is to the weight loss claim, is what I’m trying to say.

I agree.
1 kilogram = 7000 kcal to burn
I'm not convinced that a person can lose 18 kilograms in 2 weeks.
I'm trying to lose 10 kgs (sigh),
but I give myself 3 months
PS
Unfortunately,
this conversion rate is often even demotivating for those trying to lose weight:
7000 kcal = 1 kg of fat mass.
7,000 kcal is as much as a 100-kilogram man burns after running about 70 km!
