Do not bring your diet down to only 500 calories! That would be starving yourself, and as soon as you ate a little more than that all the weight would come back on, or if your like me you may get fed up in the middle of your diet and just binge eat. so best bet is to just have a healthy diet and exercise daily.

What is the fastest diet to lose ten pounds?
The best way to lose ten pounds is to calculate, based on one's current body weight, how many calories are required to maintain that weight. A pound of weight is 3500 calories. If the calorie intake is reduced by 500 calories each day, a pound will be lost in seven days (one week). If only a ten pound weight loss is desired, it is unlikely that the individual would want to drop 1000 calories per day from the usual intake, so it would probably take ten weeks to lose the last ten pounds, which is much more difficult than losing the first 10 pounds of a significant amount of weight.
