I wonder how far the joke could be taken into reality with an actual serious language implementation. Scripture++ lets say. We already have HolyC but unfortunately none of its language constructs ran with the pun (at least AFAIK).
Amusingly while looking for a different esolang just now the name of which I couldn't recall I asked an LLM and it proceeded to entirely hallucinate an impressively detailed take on the above concept with a catholic inquisition theme.
2kg in 2 days doesn't sound unreasonable at all. Glycogen and water loss from the calorie restriction will do that, along with maybe better bowel regularity from the fiber. Nobody is claiming they lost 2kg of body fat.
