Healthy Diet Plan - lose 2 lbs in 2 days.
If you're going for a weight loss regime, then it's a good idea to take note of what you put in your mouth.
I'm not saying my idea of a diet is the best, but to certain extend, it is still healthier and more efficient than a lot of the diet plan out there. No drugs. No short cuts. Do take note however, that losing weight that fast is never healthy. But if you are in a hurry then this would be your best (healthier) option.
The fastest way to weight loss is to lose all carbs. Completely.
Though if you're not used to it, doing that can deprive you real quick. So my plan do consist of lots of complex carbs (i.e. salads & fruits) and rid of all simple carbs (i.e. bread, pasta, rice).
This diet helped me in losing 1 kg in 3 days with exercise (@ Fitology).
Though in all honesty I didn't do that much effort in the first day and wasn't really watching what I ate, so technically I lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days.
1. Drink lots of Water!
Minimum says 8 glasses a day. That's the minimum.
If you really want to lose weight, double that amount. Yes, that's right, that means 16 full 240ml glasses a day.
Honestly I didn't even manage to drink that much during the days I lost this weight, but you'll be surprised by 'upping' the amount of water you drink a day, your body will be flushed out all the toxins and fats before you even begin exercising.
2. Count your Calories.
I know it's tedious, but you won't have any idea the junk you put in your mouth till you start taking note of every single item you scoff down.

just a snapshot I've taken from a web
Although I might contradict myself when I say this, and only because if you're in a rush to lose weight in a short period of time, whatever the reason, limit yourself to only 800 calories a day (that's a bare minimum).
Here are some of the food I ate in the 3 days period (calorie intake decreases in the last 2 days).
Scramble eggs with salmon bits (little butter)
Fresh salad with little wafu dressings
Sauteed mushrooms (1/2 tsp olive oil)
Sauteed mushrooms (1/2 tsp olive oil)
Calorie count: 473
Banana strawberry smoothie (no yogurt no milk)
Calorie count: 154
Calorie count: 154
(this can be reduced to 94 calories if you remove the banana, which is carb, and just blend two cups of strawberries)
Sashimi is better than meat, since it doesn't require oil to cook so it's the better choice on a diet to obtain protein.
Calorie count : 205 (based on 5 pieces of salmon sashimi)
(Tai a.k.a. red snapper sashimi is half the calories; Tilapia less than half)
Poached egg with plateful of salad (little dressings)
Calorie count: 185
Healthy snack/lunch choice
Fresh blueberries with yogurt
Calorie count: 150
(replace yogurt with plain yogurt for lesser calories)
Another option is 2 tbsp of plain yogurt + 1tbsp of mix fruit yogurt + blueberries/pineapples/strawberries/cherries for best flavour.
3. Interval Training
Yes, you might think it's too short of a time to have it take effect, believe me, it makes a difference.
Fitology (my fitness centre) had me with a personal trainer that put me through a 30-45 minutes of non-stop interval training that could burn up to 450 calories within 40 minutes. You can do it on your own if you don't have a personal trainer, youtube for effective 30 mins interval training. Then go into sauna for 30 minutes right after to continue the boost of calorie burn. On one session you can burn up to 650 calories. Exercise also helps tone your body and keeps your body in active mode throughout the day (a.k.a. helps burn calories better).
Imagine if you only consume 800 calories a day, you burn off 650 calories of that by working out, and you need a general 1800 calories to keep you active throughout your day, with enough water to flush out toxins, you're effectively burning more than 1650 calories a day (water helps with the extra).
That's half a pound worth of calories per day right there (considering 1lb = 3500 calories).
It worked for me. Try and let me know how it turns out for you.
Good luck.
