Is it possible to lose that much weight rather quickly?

I know this is bad for my health, but I need a really fast way to lose weight...

If I eat one meal a day and it consists of vegetables, meat, or fruits along with exercise 4-5x/week could I lose 10-15 lbs within the next 3 weeks?

Honestly - in order to exercise properly enough to drop the weight and tone your body, your gonna require more than one meal.

You will be burning off too many calories and that could get unhealthy quick - you'll feel fatigued, lazy, sore, etc..

Not to mention on such a restrictive diet (one meal a day,) I'm guessing one in the afternoon, your going to be very hungry, as your blood sugar levels will have fallen to rapidly on such a blunt diet. That hunger will drive you to eat everything in the fridge - and well, there goes your diet.

The best thing you can do is simple portion control; keep the three meals a day, choose smaller portions, get all your essential food groups, stay away from heavy fats / junk food/ and refined sugars.

Always eat a snack - granola bar, sunflower seeds, a bag of sunchips etc, before you work out, as it will provide you the energy needed for you to maintain a good energy, and keep the hunger down after a good calorie crushing work out.

Keep your body fueled; drink lots of water (refrain from soda/ sugery drinks) and choose healthy snacks if your getting the munchies; I do fruits and crackers for my snacks.

Good luck ^^

Just to let you know getting your blood sugar way out of whack can make you diabetic. And yes even skinny people get diabetes. A woman I work with daughter is 20 and thinks she is fat even though she weighed a hundred pounds and was a size 1. So she started eating like once a day. Dropped down to like 90 pounds and found out she was diabetic after going into a diabetic coma. They said that not eating can do that.

Sure, you could lose the weight. But you have no clue what kind of damage you are doing to your body... I would highly recommend not doing so.

You really need to examine why you "need" to lose that much weight that quickly.

There is no safe way to do it.
