I'll go with the Mayo Clinic on this one. There is almost always a consequence to extreme weight loss.

Agreed. I am in the "slow and stead wins the race" camp. Got 5-6 lbs to go and I am at my goal weight. No drugs, and no extreme diet or exercise routines to do it.
The backbone of my training is a lot of long endurance cardio. People look at me like I'm crazy when I recommend my plan. I probably do more cardio per week than most do in several months.
Sure, intensity burns more calories per hour, but I've seemed to notice that the rapid glycogen depletion makes most people really hungry. It's hard to stick to a proper diet when your body is that hungry.

I like how everyone skips the first half of the post.
Worked for me. Has worked for many people. Most reports debunking it have 0 research or trials to support their claim out side of the FDA's word.

The whole program is built on losing them learning how to sustain the weight loss. People who cheat on it are going to fail like any program.
Either way. I am proof it's worked.

Depends on your weight really. If you weight 400lb losing 5-6lb a week is not as dangerous as losing 6lb a week if you weight 200lb.
One more pound to go. I've lost 39 pounds since January 2nd. My original goal was 40, and I should hit that by Thursday. Then my new goal will be 45, but I'm going to slow down a bit.
10lbs in a month. I was diagnosed with Type II "Diabeetus." as Wilfred Brimley says. Changed my diet, limited to no more than 50-60 carbs in a meal, and around 15 in a snack. I have gone from a size 38 to 36 and it's becoming loose. I started out at 228lbs. My goal is 185.

It's not a bad idea to get that checked every couple of years. I get mine checked with my yearly physical since I have a family history.
Today I hit my goal of 40 pounds - down to 175 from 215. I did it in exactly 11 weeks. I had a machaca burrito to celebrate. What a gut bomb. Now I don't want any more of those. My new goal is 45. I'm going to start slowing down so I can work my way into a decent number of calories. I may end up going to 50.
I hit 45 a week or so ago, and I'm off to 50. I'm going to stop at 165 pounds. I've been holding at 45 for a couple days, mostly because of a party we played at last night and Mother's Day today - brunch at the Chart House. Tomorrow, it's back to the cottage cheese.
Just go on a diet of minimal fruits, cliff builder bars (protein), protein shakes, and low sodium soup (half the calories are in the salt!) . Then get a good workout. I recommend exercise bike; it's the easiest.
I did it for two months on my own and the convenience store guy who used to see me stumbling in stupid drunk noticed I looked slimmer. So there you go.

Dude, I'm like, crying here that's so funny....can totally relate.......omg.....lol.....
Lol well I mean, that was life for me a year or two ago; go to a bar, get ****faced, maybe pass out, wake up, go "****, I'm hungry", roll on in, order whatever, bull**** with the dude, and be on my way.
The hardest fact is that until you stop ****ing around, your body's going to tell you you're ****ing around. I had a gym membership, but I made pretty half hearted attempts at dieting.
I can go on but you get the idea.
