Depends: Depending on your physiology, you could lose that amount of weight if you have a caloric intake of 800-1000 calories per day. Considering the daily caloric requirement for an active 37 year old male is 2800, you could lose even more and maybe too much to remain balanced and healthy. Consult a nutritionist, take your weight daily, and drink plenty of water. Good luck!
