You can actually lose weight eating 2000 calories a day, if I can convince you not to cheat, and if that 2000
calories is just protein and fat. Most patients can lose 3-4 pounds a week eating this way, but you absolutely,
positively cannot cheat. Go ahead, have 4 Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese (no bun) a day. That’s 2000
calories. If you don’t cheat, you’ll lose at least 3 pounds a week. Make sure you drink at least a gallon (128
ounces) of non-caloric fluid every day, to flush out the fat you are burning, and you’ll melt. You don’t need to
eat this much. The less you eat, the faster you lose weight. But you can. You just can’t cheat.
