you could lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks on that diet ONLY if you were VERY overweight to begin with...like minimum 300 lbs.

normal BMI people would not lose that much.

weight loss is mostly physics. your maintenance caloric burn is based mostly on your existing weight and % body fat. you need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.

this diet is maybe 1400-1500 cal/day. a girl weighing 100 pounds might even gain weight on this diet.

true, if you are very FAT you could lose the weight.

there are healthier ways to do it, that will actually work long-term. fast weight loss will not stay off.

if you want to lose weight and KEEP it off this requires a LIFESTYLE change, not a fad diet.
