Wait just a minute [duplicate]

Question

A man goes into a room and sits down.

Suddenly his weight increases, then eventually resumes back to normal.

After several hours - suddenly his weight decreases, then eventually resumes back to normal.

Finally when the man exits the room, his weight is the same as when he went in.

What happened?

EDIT: The answer is not "He went in an elevator".

What transpired was not an abnormal event.

@SteveV not the same answer, but yes I see that it is fairly similar. — obl, Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 18:56
if it is not the same answer, I withdraw my objection, then! — SteveV, Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 18:57
phew :) I will try to add some edits to clarify how it cannot be an elevator. — obl, Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 19:00
He went in the loo with some food. Some food goes in, some byproduct goes out and the weight goes up and down. — rhsquared, Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 20:30

Maybe

he got on an airplane! And perhaps it was one of those astronaut training flights where you are weightless for a brief period of time

$\begingroup$ That's it! Although the decreasing weight part was supposed to reference the descent of the plane :P $\endgroup$
