20 lbs lost within 2 weeks

IF she dropped that much in first 2 weeks it was mostly-or entirely- water weight/ Weight from food leaving her bowels/stomach from just drinking liquis. She did NOT lose 20 pounds of fat in 2 weeks, Nor will you. The End.

Let me give you my experience: a little over 10 years ago, I weighed 300 pounds (I was about 170 overweight). I had gastric bypass. You don’t get any more calorie restrictive than that early outl unless you’re dead. I walked 3 miles a day within a week of surgery. At no time did I ever come close to losing 20 pounds in 2 weeks, even at my best.

Like I said if you have lost 20 pounds within 2 weeks I would love to hear from you.. If not then don't reply.. I'm currently exercising and counting calories... But that's not my point..it was a question to those that have done This, if their are none then so be it.. My friend has lost 100 pounds in 6 months, she told me within the first 2 weeks she lost 22 pounds but she did shakes.. So I know that it's possible so I wanted to here other things others have tried and if there's is none then so be it!!!!

Then why are you on here asking? Why not just have your friend walk you through how she did it? Why do you need further validation from a bunch of strangers on the internet? This is just weird.

Well if you read my statements, it's simply to here from others and to see if if something that I can twitch to my diet.. And as I stated, she did it through shakes and I don't really care for them. So I do track and exercise.. That's what this community is here for, to bring together all types of people who has the same goals but may go about it differently.. Vegan, Low Carb, Keto, High Carb Etc.. So again that's why I posted the question and if there's no one on this community that has lost close to or a mere 20 pounds within 2 weeks then okay!! And I will continue to do what I am doing which is tracking my calories and exercising.....
...

This community, regardless of way of eating, prioritises health above all. 20lbs in 2 weeks in not healthy at all, and therefore won't be condoned on this community.

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.
