Can you lose five pounds in 2 days?

Answer 1

Yes. At any point in time you have around 12 pounds of "useless" water in your body. As a wrestler, I've lost 3 pounds in 30 minutes before. After running, urinating, sleeping and limiting your food and water intake, it is quite easy to lose the weight.

Answer 2

You CAN loseONE pound ONE day, or maybe two, if you're really sick and can't eat, or if you're working real hard and can't eat enough.

But you can't keep on losing one pound a day forany longer than thatin any kind of healthy manner. There'a big risk that you'll get sick.

Um. If you're obese, and you suddenly exercise a lot each day, you probably can. I mean, i remember there was this really morbidly obese person (Dan, I think?) on The Biggest Loser, and his first week at the ranch he lost 35 pounds, or something like that. And 35 lbs divided by 7 days is 5lbs. So, I guess it isn't impossible. For me however, it would be.

Answer 4

Of fat, no. Of water, yes, but it would not be a healthy thing to do. A pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. This means that you'd have to burn 17,500 calories in a day. Unless you're an Olympic swimmer, chances are that this won't happen naturally and healthily.
