    uh, durr. You can. But it would take starvation to such extremes that you could risk long term health. So I wouldn't recommend it. Technically speaking you can lose 2lbs a day, but the means are not healthy, so I shan't mention what they are.

    Source(s): Have eating disorder, but would never share the unhealthy methods to lose weight.
  • Depending on how much body fat you have, you can loose 10 pounds in a week. But you have to also eat properly to loose weight and to keep it off. You cannot expect to loose 10 pounds when your eating tons of candy and drinking mountain dew all day. Eating correctly is the most important aspect when trying to loose weight. Also, to help loose weight you eat small meals throughout the day. Instead of eating 3 large meals (breakfast, lunch, Dinner) you eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. This allows your body to digest the smaller meals instead of turing the excess food into body fat.

    I have...

    well I had the flue so that's why (I wasnt throwing up I was just catatonic, delirious and didnt eat for a week.)

    I agree that it's unrealistic for people to think they can lose weight instantly though. It really just needs to be your lifestyle - just LIVE healthily all the time and then you won't get stressed about needing to lose unwanted weight!

    Hi all, I used this brand new diet supplement from http://bilops.bestenergydiet.info./ They have a risk free trial on right now. What it does, is rinse out your insides, there can be as much as 20 pounds in there, and no measure of diet and exercise is about to get rid of it. Give it a try out - I did, and melted away 17 pounds LOL!!!
