I do not believe your statement to be true at all. Can you provide any proof that it is impossible for the human body to lose 7.4lbs of fat in 8 days?
With proper nutrition, I believe it's not only possible but totally achievable to lose 0.5-1.0lbs per day. You start out quick (around 1lb / day) and as you get closer to your ideal weight you get closer to about 0.5lbs/day or so.
For example, take a look at this woman:

She lost 50.5lbs in 12 weeks (84 days). That's 0.6lbs/day in average weight loss.
Her total loss later on was 90lbs in 8 months (240 days) which is 0.38lbs per day average.
As you can see her body started out fast and slowed down towards the end as she came closer to her ideal weight.
In any case, it really doesn't matter to me. I'm simply eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and exercising daily. Regardless whether some of the loss I experience is water weight or not, I'm just reporting my results. People can make their own judgments on where the weight is coming off. All I know is that my jeans are already easier to button up than they were a week ago.
Well, off I go to do my workout.
