In extreme circumstances I've lost as much as 7 pounds in a week and if you are obese you can lose up to 20 pounds in a week. But this means a very strict balanced diet and at least 1 hours exercise per day. If you are obese you should consult a physician before attempting to lose weight this rapidly. The healthcare professionals in the UK www.nhs.uk recommend a maximum weight loss goal of 2lbs per week if you are not medically assisted.2011-06-07 21:34:54

The amount of weight lost in the first 7 days is determined by the type of restrictive diet you follow; if you consume a low carb diet (of any variety) then as each 1g glucose enables you to store (for cellular use) 3 g water, then you will experience a heavy fluid loss. Its generally accepted that the 1-2lbs of fat is the maximum you can lose in a week. this is based on the fact to burn 1lb of pure fat you need to expend an additional 3,500 calories. Given that a typical hour long exercise session a moderate/fit individual burns around 500 calories, combined with reduced intake 1-2 lbs after fluid loss is normal.
