I was pretty sure that yellowing leaves is the plant sucking the nutes from that leaf. When the plants finished using up the nutes in a leaf, it dies(the leaf). Its natural for the plant to use stored nutes from leaves that no longer serve the "light gathering" job that it was berthed for(ie: being too far from the light).
If you pluck a leaf thats still living(even barely), your plucking stored nutrients right off the plant.
And the answer for that plant is LSTing. Make sure you water well before you start.
