20 lbs lost within 2 weeks

Lol, it really is.. I t really trips me out that some people just act like they do everything by the book.. A weight loss community is for people of all sorts to share their experiences, and if it's something that you haven't experienced then you really shouldn't come down on others that may have went about it differently.... But like I said I've lost 100 pounds so I know.. Everybody is different, I've been changing up my diet and exercising and I have already lost 14 pounds within 2 weeks, it's not 20 but it's close and it doesn't have to be twenty.. But once again if there's anyone out there that have lost 20 pounds within 2 weeks I would love to hear from you

It is my understanding, from the research I have done on high protein, low fat diets that it IS theoretically possible to loose 20 pounds in 2 weeks safely IF you are very, very obese. In fact, you see a few of the people featured on My 600 Pound Life do just that. You would have to pretty much eat nothing but proteins, healthy fats, and a limited amount of low carb vegetables (like broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, kale, greens). It is hard on the kidneys -- I would consult a doctor before I tried this, for that very reason. The kidneys are forced to filter alot of extra protein doing this diet. But yes, it is theoretically possible to loose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, but I wouldn't do it unless I was under a doctor's supervision. That's my opinion, for what it is worth. I would suggest if you are serious about doing this, that you investigate ketogenic diets or the Dugan diet.

No, that's not really what it is, because then there would be threads on MFP about how to most effectively have an eating disorder... This site is about being mindful, healthful/healthy, and finding support for those things.
