It is possible to lose five pounds in a week, but most weight loss experts recommend a maximum loss of 2 pounds per week. Fast weight loss sends the body into starvation mode, which actually slows weight loss over the long term. A weight loss of 5 pounds requires a calorie deficit of 17,500 calories. This is difficult to achieve in one week.
