If you have 15% or more body fat this won't be that hard; if you have less than 10-12% it will be pretty difficult. Somewhere in between you can do it but probably won't enjoy it.

You should expect to lose only about 1/2 Kilo per week -- sure you can lose 1 Kg in a week but that is pretty strict.

(And we aren't talking about water but real weight loss AND after you have already taken of the 'easy weight'.)

One suggestion: I won't tell you which diet to use -- there are 100s of diets which will help you lose 5 Kg or less. Almost all of them will work, but you can get the best results if you WRITE DOWN literally everything you eat.

By writing it down you don't leave it to chance or memory and if it doesn't work you will know where you screwed up and what to fix.

If you do a low-carb diet, also get the KetoStix (at a pharmacy) for testing your urine: If you turn the test strip purple you are losing fat -- if you don't then you aren't.
