I lost 40lbs in 7 weeks. Would not recommend. It was from chemo and radiation making so that I vomited any food, and needed a liquid food pump inserted. Your body will be wrecked at that calorie loss.
Severe illness or a gulag.
50 lb over 8 weeks is pretty insane. 1 lb/week is pretty good. 2 a week is pushing it.
50 isn’t going to happen without consequences.
That sentence makes no sense. Figure out the amount you would need to eat and work out to MAINTAIN your desired weight and start doing that. Let it take however long it takes, then keep doing that to maintain, or tweak it to improve.
50lb in 2 months sounds dangerous as fuck. You could stop eating and probably lose that much, fuck up your metabolism, and immediately gain it back without even eating as much as you did before.
Nothing, it’s just a bad idea
Also, just go see a doctor, because each situation is unique and it’s stupid to believe the “calories in calories out” shit
Well scientifically it is exactly calories in to your metabolism vs calories burned out.
Whether your body is absorbing those, or too depressed of a system to burn at a normal rate would be the doctor’s investigation.
I did a pretty extreme weight loss a few years back, and in two months, I lost 20 pounds.
Even that was a bit more than is recommended without strict medical supervision. Two pounds per week is kind of the upper bound of “normal” weight loss. Don’t attempt more without a very, very good reason, and an even better doctor.
50lbs is an unhealthy goal. Both for your mentality and for your body. Health recommendations put about 2lbs a week as the upper limit on weight loss without health issues. Even people who are on weight loss programs and injections are told to stick to this amount as best they can.
As someone who lost 50lbs last year I get the urge to just “get it done” trust me. But it won’t help long term. Pick a routine, watch your calories, and stick with it. Success comes from progress, not quick fixes.
And if you want my secret tip, you’re gonna be hungry, but when you do eat, shrink your serving sizes, and wait. If you’re eating don’t make a whole meal (ex. Two pb&js, chips, and fruit) make a serving (one sandwich, or just the fruit, or a measured serving of chips, don’t just eat out of the bag), eat that and some water, and give it time. You won’t be “full” but the hunger will go away and you can keep going.
This would kill you.
Outside of necessary amputations or liposuction, there’s no healthy way to do that. Especially in a way that’s sustainable.
I had weight loss surgery ~2yrs ago. Started out at ~335lbs and have lost ~100lbs. Most of that was lost slowly over the course of the first year after the surgery.
So, even with weight loss surgery you are unlikely to loose 50lbs in two months. Unless you are starting at a very very high inital weight.
Intermittent fasting, only eat from 10am-6pm.
Early morning exercise, 1hr of walking or cycling. Start 5am or 6am. Medium intensity.
Generally healthy meals. No calorie blowout days.
Plenty of water, minimal fizzy drinks. Soda water is OK.
For added benefit, afternoon HIIT.
Worked for me.
Daily exercise counts a lot too. Get a heart rate monitor and get into zone 2 for 150 minutes a week, it’s hard to describe how much of a difference it makes through your entire body.
Daily exercise only counts if it’s cardio and not muscle building. Otherwise the fat gets converted to muscle, which weighs more than fat.
Of course, weight loss shouldn’t ever be considered the end goal, and building muscle and having your weight go up/stay the same is perfectly fine to become healthier.
Daily exercise only counts if it’s cardio and not muscle building. Otherwise the fat gets converted to muscle, which weighs more than fat.
That’s entirely wrong because there’s no way you can gain muscle mass as fast as you can lose fat.
A person can easily lose a pound of fat a weak and will have a difficult time, unless on PEDs, to gain a pound of muscle mass in the same time.
So yes, muscle building aka hypertrophy via lifting weights will absolutely make you lose weight. In fact the heavier you lift the more fat your body will use in order to do work. Which will make you lose weight even faster.

A casual stroll through your local anti-personnel minefield should do it. Bring tourniquets.
Amputation
Calculate your required calories per day (lots of websites have free to use tools for this). Undershoot the calories per day by a reasonable percentage (same site you use will likely have a feature that does this). Weight loss is calories in calories out, add in some exercise and you help the cause a bit. You’ll never out train a bad diet. Abs aren’t made in the gym they’re made in the grocery store.
