But can you lose 10 pounds in 2 days? Here\u2019s what you need to know about losing 10 pounds in 2 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Calories_Do_I_Need_to_Burn_to_Lose_10_Pounds_in_2_Days\"><\/span><b>How Many Calories Do I Need to Burn to Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Days?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, losing 10 pounds in 2 days is not a safe or realistic goal. At best, you may lose several pounds of water weight, but you won\u2019t lose a significant amount of fat in 2 days, regardless of your efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are around 3,500 calories in one pound of fat. Quick calculations will tell you that you would need to burn 35,000 calories to achieve a 10-pound weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A realistic, yet still challenging goal is to create a 1,000-calorie deficit per day. This means that in two days, you could only create a 2,000-calorie deficit, which doesn\u2019t come remotely close to burning 35,000 calories in two days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=lose_10_pounds_in_2_days\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/overlay-banner-5.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_Possible_to_Lose_10_Pounds_in_2_Days\"><\/span><b>Is it Possible to Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Days?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you lose 10 pounds in under 48 hours?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, you cannot lose 10 pounds in 48 hours. Here\u2019s another example to put this in perspective. This example is not safe, so don\u2019t attempt to replicate it. An average woman needs 2,000 calories every day if she rests and eats nothing (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/245588\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). So, if you don\u2019t eat anything for 2 days, you\u2019ll technically already have a 4,000-calorie deficit. This means you would lose just over one pound without eating anything for 48 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, you need to make up for the remaining calories through exercise. And to lose another 9 pounds in 2 days, you would need to burn an additional 31,000 calories in 48 hours. To achieve that deficit, you could probably choose to run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a table from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Council on Exercise<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a 120-pound person can burn 11.4 calories every minute when running (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/diet-and-weight-loss\/calories-burned-in-30-minutes-of-leisure-and-routine-activities\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). So, assuming you were to run for 10 minutes, you would lose 114 calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To burn the additional 31,000 calories in 48 hours, you would need to run for approximately 2,720 minutes, which equates to 45 hours. Therefore, to lose 10 pounds in 2 days, you would need to eat nothing, rest for only 3 hours, and run for 45 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Math aside, you cannot sprint for 45 hours in just two days. Even if you\u2019re an ultra-marathoner, this would be impossible. Therefore, it\u2019s impossible to try to cut 10 pounds in under 48 hours. So, you should aim for other realistic goals such as losing 10 pounds in a month or even several months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yanking yourself back in shape has never been so easy with our game-changing fitness app! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=lose_10_pounds_in_2_days\">Start transforming your life with BetterMe <\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_You_Drop_10_Lbs_Fast\"><\/span><b>How Can You Drop 10 Lbs Fast?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to shed pounds at a faster rate, here are some tips that can help you do it. Regardless of your timeline, healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. Keep this in mind when tackling your weight loss goals. Use these tips to help you get there (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/weight-loss\/art-20047752\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=lose_10_pounds_in_2_days\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Collage-Walking-3-1.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Moving\"><\/span><b>Get Moving<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running on a treadmill or taking a walk will burn up to 300 calories in an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also achieve your goals more quickly through resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). These exercises will help you maintain your muscle strength and mass as you lose some pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistance exercises work by damaging and repairing muscle. Repaired muscle is bigger and stronger, which also means it requires more energy to function. This increases your metabolism when you\u2019re at rest and helps burn more calories over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-intensity exercises are another effective way to boost the pace of your weight loss. Researchers have found that 5 to 10 minutes of\u00a0 HIIT training has similar weight loss and health benefits as five times the amount of regular exercise. Just like resistance training, this will reduce your fat stores and boost your metabolism and fat-burning hormones (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2991639\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cut_Refined_Carbs_from_Your_Diet\"><\/span><b>Cut Refined Carbs from Your Diet<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreasing excess carbohydrate intake can go a long way to helping you lose weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/refined-carbs\/\">Refined carbs<\/a> have their grains stripped of the germ and bran content, which results in a final product with no fibers and inadequate nutrients.

A ten-pound loss may be quite visible for a person who is already at a low weight, such as 120 pounds. It represents around 10 percent of the overall body weight. On the other hand, a person weighing 250 pounds may not show vivid changes when they lose ten pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to understand that the point of weight loss also matters. Losing ten pounds from the abdomen may be more visible than losing it from other body areas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that even small changes, like losing just 5 percent of your weight, can improve health<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/losing_weight\/index.html#:~:text=Even%20modest%20weight%20loss%20%5BPDF,chronic%20diseases%20related%20to%20obesity.\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(10).<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This includes losing some fat around your belly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the circumstances, a ten-pound weight loss is a huge milestone. People who lose ten pounds and aren\u2019t underweight may experience some positive changes in their lives, like improved energy levels, improvements in the way clothes fit, and fewer sick episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be cautious when trying to shed those pounds, as too much reduction can put your body under stress. We suggest counting macros for weight loss and having a solid plan at hand to hit the target weight on the scale!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to cinch your waist, tone up your bat wings, blast away the muffin top \u2013 our fitness app was created to cater to all your needs! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=lose_10_pounds_in_2_days\">BetterMe won\u2019t give excess weight a chance!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Losing_10_Pounds_Change_Your_Face\"><\/span><b>Does Losing 10 Pounds Change Your Face?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten pounds is a tremendous weight loss milestone. You may expect yourself to look much better if you lose ten pounds or more. This isn\u2019t a baseless statement. Science-backed evidence shows people may consider you more attractive if you lose substantial weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2015 study followed participants who had a massive weight reduction<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4579167\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(4).<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It was found that subjects looked more attractive. So, a drop in BMI can increase your physical appeal. Know that losing weight can potentially change the way your face looks. But, the extent of this change relies on factors like your genetics and body composition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, losing weight can lead to a slimmer appearance, which can be noticed through your face. Fat loss from facial areas like cheeks and jawline can result in a more defined face. The degree of changes may not be as dramatic as with massive weight losses, and individual differences can affect how vivid these changes are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=lose_10_pounds_in_2_days\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-mental-health-11.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Safe_To_Lose_10_Pounds_In_2_Days\"><\/span><b>Is It Safe To Lose 10 Pounds In 2 Days?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losing a whopping 10 pounds in 2 days may seem like a dream, but it isn\u2019t practical for most people. Steady weight loss is considered to be 1-2 pounds per week, so losing 10 pounds may take 5-10 weeks or longer. The CDC suggests that if you want to lose weight, you should try to lose about 1 to 2 pounds weekly as this is a safe and healthy way to do it<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/losing_weight\/index.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(10).<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bombardment of advertisements and unrealistic beauty standards may push some individuals toward an inferiority complex. The fact that you don\u2019t look a certain way doesn\u2019t mean you should force your body into severely unhealthy practices such as trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid weight loss of this magnitude is not sustainable and can pose serious health risks. Most of the weight is likely to be water weight and not fat. This may cause extreme dehydration or electrolyte imbalances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you still wondering how to lose 10 pounds in 2 days?

This desire compels them to choose unhealthy habits such as taking dietary supplements or extreme exercise plans. They may lose a few inches off their waistlines and the numbers on the scale may go down, but they will most likely return to their previous eating habits after depriving their bodies too much<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4334025\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(20).<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Reduce_Resting_Energy\"><\/span><b>Can Reduce Resting Energy<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losing weight too quickly may also affect the basal metabolic rate (BMR).
