text: what is a sure way to lose about 10 pounds by the end of april? i am already excercising daily, but was wondering if it was truly safe to go on a liquid diet for two days? i do know that cleansing your body is healthy, but is that the way? any suggestions? is 10lbs. a number you need to have?  you can safely lose 1-2lbs of body fat per week by reducing your calories or increasing your activity.  that gets you about 8lbs.  if you need just the number of lbs., i was a wrestler and have been able to drop 5lbs of water weight during a couple of hours.  of course, you gain it right back when you drink it again.    good luck.
