I was actually losing a steady 2-3 lb per week at one point by cutting carbs with a vengeance and living on very modest servings of vegetables. So the vegetarian advice isn't far off.

That said, I've gained it all back a couple of years later after I realized I can't be without potatoes or pasta.

That also said, I'm not really overweight (6'4" and 185lb), but I could stand to either gain some muscle or lose some flab. I eat very little and it's all pretty darn healthy, but I exercise even less. Gonna try and fix that this summer.

But yeah, I agree, you really don't want to aim for something that extreme. Especially because even if you do lose it, it's gonna be bad for your health and/or you'll gain it back before you know it. Slow, steady, and ongoing-lifestyle-based is the only way you're gonna make any progress.
