- There are many ways you can do it. I am a wrestler, so I often have to lose up to 5 pounds in one day. The easiest way to do it is to put on a lot of clothing (sweatshirts, sweatpants, & thermals). Then go to your bathroom and turn on the shower on hot. Use the heat from the shower to help you sweat. As you begin to sweat begin doing sit-ups and push ups. If you have a jump rope that's the best thing that works. Well that should easily make you lose 2 pound.
- If you just want to lose 2 pounds on the scale, just: 1- drink a lot of water. 2- eat an egg white every 1-3 hours . 3- exercise. The only way to lose 2 pounds in one day is to avoid anything with calories or salt; this will get rid of all your water weight for the weigh-in the next day. If you are trying to lose two pounds of fat in one day, there is no method to lose that much weight in one day.
- I have been on a diet for about a week now, and I have been losing 3 pounds a day, I did this by 100 crunches a day going to the gym every night, and losing all those calories that i ate that day. I had to have a way to keep track of these calories, so I made a poster where I track what I ate, and how many calories it had and how many each food had, also almonds are considered fat burners if you just eat 1 handful of almonds a meal you will lose a ton of weigh!
- It is worth mentioning that it is generally considered unhealthy to lose more than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) in weight per week. 1 gram of fat contains 9 Calories of energy. Therefore to lose 1 kg of fat mass you would need to create a deficit of approximately 9000 Calories. On average an adult burns between 2000 to 2500 Calories a day due to their normal metabolism (depending on activity level this can be significantly lower if sedentary or higher if very active). Therefore to lose 1 kg of fat mass, you would need to burn an extra 6500 - 7000 Calories. To put that into context, a moderate running speed of 6MPH will depending on your weight burn between 600 and 1000 Calories per hour (assuming a mass within the range 60 - 100 kg). Therefore to lose a kilogram of fat in one day you would have to run for between 7 and 11 3/4 hours constantly. And eat no food. I would suggest that this is at best unlikely and at worst a very dangerous thing to try. For further information, see the links below.

JordanLosing more than 2 pounds per week can be dangerous and unhealthy. There is no way you can successfully lose one pound per day (unless you are a contestant on The Biggest Loser TV show). You could consult a practicing doctor, a dietician, and a personal trainer, for a professionally developed diet and cardio exercise plan. Alternatively, for free information about the best ways to lose weight through diet and cardio exercise, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

This is not something a layman can achieve unless you are aided by professionals. If you are in the the horse racing world you should know that jockeys can get rid of up to 2 to 3 lbs in a matter of hours spent in a sauna box with physicians monitoring all along. Since you did not specify your purpose I strongly advise that you aim for losing no more than 1 pound the most per week by consuming less than 2000 cal each day. You should then create a calorie deficit by doing two continuous aerobic exercises sessions (e.g. jog, swim, bike/treadmill) of at least 30 minutes per day, 6 days per week. Take one day break and rest totally. Drink at lease 1500 cc of plain water within the 2 hours of your exercise session. If you had never participated in the exercise you are aiming for, go and consult a trainer or someone experienced in the sport. Good luck.
That would require constant heavy exercise, or starvation, or both, and even then might not be enough. It would be both exhausting and outright dangerous. Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose. Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Try to get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, being active helps your digestion, your circulation, and other body processes, and will help improve your mood.
Even more important than exercise, is avoiding junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Preferably consume no added sugar, and as little added salt as possible.
Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.
Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.
Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.
Healthy nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one factor in adjusting one's food habits.

Disclaimer: No diet plan, including the one above, will be enough for all people. There are some people with complications such as glandular or other disorders, who may need surgery to lose weight. If one suspects that this is the case, or if one keeps gaining weight despite eating healthily, professional advice may be needed. This could begin with one's doctor or dietician, who would in some cases refer the patient to a surgeon.
