Why do people gain a lot of weight in the first place? Could it be they are impulsive - no impulse control?
I don't know, but it seems many of them, or most, also want to lose weight FAST. Could that also be a sign of impulsiveness.
Anyway, regardless of that, it's not healthy to lose weight fast. Many or most of the pesticides and other contaminants you've been exposed to have accumulated in your fat cells. So the faster you lose weight, the more of those contaminants that will be released into your blood stream and will need time to be safely filtered out by the liver and kidneys. If the person happens to be taking multiple medications, that will put even more of a burden on your filtering system.
I lost 15 lbs in one week. In the hospital, unable to keep anything down, not even water.
I looked like hell when I got out. I don't recommend super fast weight loss.

And what about the impact on your immune system?
What about liver or kidney cancer?
What are the risks of being on a fad diet?
The OP asked the question in 2011. I'm gonna take a wild guess that at this point - 12 years later - they've either lost that 10 pounds, or they didn't. But the week's over.
You'd have to have a 5000 calorie deficiency each day to lose that much non water weight.
A pound a week, 500 calories per day is fairly easy if you really try. 250 calories in extra exercise and 250 calories less consumed. Do that for a few months and it will become second nature.
After a little while bump those numbers some, say 350 calories in exercise and 400 in reduced and better eating. Now you are losing 1.5 pounds a week.
Get used to that and bump it some more, probably only in consumption as exercise starts having a limit.
Don't let your body "know" you are dieting or it will start fighting back.
