While you can drop pounds quickly, in order for the weight to stay off it needs to be weight from fat. To lose fat you need to burn more calories than you consume. In order to do this safely while staying healthy, it is recommended you do not exceed 2 lbs per week. Of course the more weight you have to lose the faster you will lose it.
