Two weeks is not a lot of time but it is absolutely enough to kickstart a dramatic weight loss transformation. With the right combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes you can lose 5 to 10 pounds in just 14 days and more importantly set yourself up for continued success long after the two weeks are over.

In this article we will give you a complete day by day plan to lose weight fast in 2 weeks that is safe, effective, and sustainable.

Is It Safe to Lose Weight Fast in 2 Weeks?

Yes, it is completely safe to lose weight quickly over a 2-week period as long as you do it the right way. The key is to create a calorie deficit through a combination of healthy eating and exercise rather than through extreme starvation or crash dieting.

Realistic expectations for 2 weeks:

• Safe and sustainable weight loss: 1 to 2 pounds per week
• With the plan in this article: 5 to 10 pounds in 2 weeks
• Much of the initial loss will be water weight and bloating
• The remainder will be actual body fat

The 5 Rules for Fast 2-Week Weight Loss

Rule 1: Create a daily calorie deficit

• Eat 500 to 700 fewer calories than you burn each day
• This creates a weekly deficit of 3,500 to 4,900 calories
• Do not go below 1,200 calories per day for women or 1,500 for men

Rule 2: Eat high protein at every meal

• Protein keeps you full and prevents muscle loss during weight loss
• Aim for 25 to 35 percent of calories from protein
• Include chicken, fish, eggs, or Greek yogurt at every meal

Rule 3: Eliminate all processed foods and sugar

• Cut out all white bread, pasta, rice, and refined carbs
