Indeed. I stopped fencing when they wanted to put me in the Olympic team.
After that I started to inform myself about other effective strategies.
For example it's better to put the small stones under the insoles in the boots, so they don't realise it immediatly.
You can give the others several big meat tins just in case as spare food, and if you eat your own in the night, that's another kilogram difference.
I usually use not transparent water bottles, I fill them in front of the eyes of my partners but empty them immediatly if they don't pay attention.
I bought a few closed but empty tins.
And in the dry bag where I wrote "Spare clothing " on it, I carry a very light helium filled air pillow.
As you see, there are a lot of very innovative options...
