I want to lose 10 pounds in 5 days, i'm 5'2" an weigh 150- my polynesian genes contribute to a heavy bonestructure & muscle mass-how can i do this?

Set realistic goal: Even though it might be possible to loose 10lbs in 5 days, i would not recommend it. Try to set goal like 1-2lbs over a week or two to reach your goal weight.
