That's because you're an ignoramus about human biology,
Gary. "Diuretics" should have been a clue.

One of the effects of heart failure is the accumulation
of huge amounts of excess fluid in many parts of the body.
Belly, hands. feet ,legs etc fill up with water. Water is
heavy.

A diuretic is a medication that stimulates the body to
reverse the process, by making the kidneys work hard so
you pee more. More pee reduces fluid retention = rapid
weight loss.
