Losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks?

[Anonymous]

Is this possible? Do you think it's healthy?

If you haven't been dieting, start eating at a calorie deficit and 10 pounds in two weeks is highly likely. Use a calorie tracking app and be HONEST with it. Log everything.

It will be healthy as well. The reason is we carry about 7-9 pounds of glycogen in our bodies to send "fast fuel" to muscles. Most of us are not running or doing anything taxing, so we just have this reserve stored all the time. When you start eating at a deficit, the body no longer stores excess glycogen. It makes it as it uses it. So that 7-9 pounds comes off right away. Most people call this phase losing "water weight".

Manageable. It will still take a lot of will, restraint and discipline. Is it healthy? Depends on how massive you are. If you're on the underweight boundary, it definitely is unhealthy. If you're severely overweight, it won't hurt you for sure.

Possible, sure. Healthy no

Even if you have a 500 net caloric consumption, which is very hard. You still
won't lose 10 pounds of actual body fat

You need a caloric deficit of 35000 calories in 2 weeks. Thats not happening

Possible? Maybe just stop eating for a while.
Healthy? I guess not but people are already living a very unhealthy life

It's possible, probably not healthy.
