Anecdotally that seems to be correlated with having a fever for several days. Patients aren't able to eat much, and seem to be burning a lot of calories just lying in bed. https://www.clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-5614(... (I am not recommending catching COVID-19 as a way to lose weight.)

I lost 2kg when I got Omicron, I gained it back in the next month.

I had no fever though and I checked my temperature numerous times to be sure of it.
