Eating five or six small meals per day will not help with weight loss, and it won't change your metabolism: 6 Meals a Day for Weight Loss
What matters is daily caloric intake. Timing of meals doesn't really matter much either, so long as you aren't doing something extreme.
There are no healthy shortcuts. If you want to lose weight, shoot for about a 500 calorie deficit per day, and you'll lose about a pound per week. If you are very overweight, eating 1200-1500 calories per day, along with some exercise, will make you lose even more.
Losing weight fast almost always involves some gimmick, such as losing water weight or emptying your digestive tract.
1.To make a delicious low fat mayonnaise simply combine one teaspoon Dijon mustard or one teaspoon satay sauce with low fat yoghurt.
2.Avoid skipping meals. Eating increases your metabolism, thus skipping meals can 'trick' your body into slowing down its metabolism
in an attempt to conserve calories during a period it perceives as a situation where limited fuel is available.
3.Stuffing vegetables such as capsicum and zucchini with tasty fillings of mince chicken, meat or tuna are easy to do and very healthy and low fat.
4.Pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings, are great for picnics, school lunches or to take to work.
5.Exerise, exercise, exercise! Exercise increases your metabolism and burning off excess fat.
When is the best time to exercise? Our metabolism slows down about 8 hours after we wake up,
so 30 minutes of exercise in the evening, before dinner will increase your metabolism for about
two to three more hours just when it was starting to slow down. This produces a significant increase in fat burned off, even after the exercise is over.

5-10 lbs in a week is unrealistic unless you starve yourself. A more sensible plan is to eat right and exercise, and plan to lose about 2-2.5 lbs per week. Cut out the sugar, and most carbs. Load up on veggies, quality protein, and quality fats. Move - walk, run, go to the gym - whatever you like to do. There is no magic bullet if you want to lose weight and keep it of while remaining healthy.
However, my husband lost 7.5 pounds and I lost 7.0 pounds in just seven days by following the Primal Blueprint diet -- mainly just vegies, eggs, meats (including poultry and seafood), some cheeses, some nuts, and fats -- and NO breads, grains or processed foods. Yes, it was mainly water weight that we lost, but if anyone needs to lose weight fast, even though it might be temporary, you might want to try it.
We just started it 9-10-18, but we are STILL on it and doing well and are not hungry, even though the diet has translated to about 1650 calories a day for my husband and about 1200 calories a day for me. So even though we have probably "just" lost about three pounds of REAL weight each in the past 10 days, losing so much apparent weight the first week is very motivational. (Google Primal Blueprint diet for more info.)

1.5 to 2 lb a week would be more optimal if you do not wish to lose muscle mass, after all we are interested in losing fat not muscle.
Most diets that restrict carbs will have you losing lots weight first few weeks, it's mostly water which you will regain.
Think the correct numbers are 45 to 65 % but please do not link to sites that are little more than commercial sales sites, is it your site??
