Can you lose 10 pounds in 23 days?
It is certainly possible to lose 10 pounds in 23 days. It is important, though, to distinguish losing weight from losing body fat. If you are overweight or obese, losing 10 pounds of body fat is a good idea; however, it's a bad idea to lose lean muscle mass. If you do not exercise and eat properly, about half the weight you lose will be lean muscle mass and that is a bad idea. Since lean muscle mass is very much more metabolically active than fat, you want to preserve or increase your lean muscle mass. Losing weight too quickly, and by that losing your muscle mass, will leave you worse off. You will quickly regain the weight and probably more than you lost.
What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss?
Weight loss can include anything that make you weigh less on the scales including losing weight in water, lean muscle mass and fat. What you really want to lose is fat, while gaining lean muscle mass to keep your metabolism going. If you drink enough water, your body will stop hoarding water for future use and you will lose some water weight. So losing water weight and fat is a good thing (obviously as long as you don't dehydrate), but you really do not want to lose muscle mass.

How you can lose weight without losing mass?
While mass and weight are commonly confused, they are quite different. In layman's terms, mass (g) is a measurement of how much stuff a thing has in it, whereas weight (N) is a measurement of the earth's gravitational pull on a thing.In space, there is little gravitational pull, so your weight would be minimal. However, your mass would be the same anywhere in the universe.Now, if you want to lose fat off of your body, while maintaining a healthy lean muscle mass, eat within moderation, and do cardiovascular exercises at least three times a week for twenty minutes. Cardio makes your heart healthy, as well as requiring much energy to be burned from your body's fat supplies.
