Sorry. Bad idea.: Losing lots of weight quickly is dangerous for your health. Pray the marine scales are off.

Crash diets: Little to nothing can be done and rapid weight loss schemes abound, mostly to take your money and possibly hurt you. If you have a "report" date, the Marines will take care of the ten pounds.

Why?: The better question is why do you need to lose 10 lbs in 2 days? As a physician, I do not think it is advisable to lose 10 lbs in 2 days and I'm sure every dieting fad out there would boast such a goal. Increasing physical activity, and diet are the best ways to lose weight. If that plateu's there are pharmacologic treatments to assist but they can only be used for a short duration.
