Good luck. I lost 30 lbs since covid hit while most folks gained weight. I did it just my adjusting my diet some and doing a lot of walking when I could. What's your age and what's your current weight? I would only ask you if you were a guy and would never ask you were of their of the fairer sex.
Is amputation an option? Good size leg is easily 40-60 lbs.
Seriously, move around more and eat less. 1000-1200 calories intake a day and 1.5 hrs on a stationary bike will do it. Basically put yourself in a negative 1500 calorie per day situation, and you’ll loose 0.75 lb per day. If you fall behind, the last 10 lbs you can take off in water weight if necessary to meet weight.
Ive heard good things about the SOTA weight loss diet if you want something formal.
Depending on your age, rapid weight loss of that amount can cause long term heart and liver issues. Be careful.
What’s your starting weight, height and body fat %? Going from 300 lbs with 35% body fat to 260 lbs is a hell of a lot easier than going from 180 to 140.
Are you sure about your math? I think a 1500 calorie daily deficit would leave him pretty short of his goal. Although I could be wrong. Thanks - tnscouter

Good catch. 3500 cal = 1lb. I meant to say 2500 cal.

If you are serious about loosing a lot of weight fast do this^^^ If you can eat just one meal a day you can achieve your goal. No counting calories or weighing fat grams. Just one big healthy meal a day. It WORKS. NO CHEATING. Youtube OMAD, stands for one meal a day. The feeling of being hungry will pass and you will be good. I lost 80lbs doing this 2 years ago. and kept the weight ever since. Its tough to do, but once you loose the weight its easy to maintain. I now eat lunch and dinner, Healthy food but plenty of it and I never feel hungry. the key is no snacking on any junk. No snacking at all. Good Luck.
High protein, low carbs. Water, vitamin and protein supplements and exercise….a lot of exercise. 40 pounds is a lot to lose in 2 months. In people that lose that much in a short period it’s usually because they had gastric surgery. I’m certainly not suggesting gastric surgery 😁 but emulating their diet would do the same. There are plenty of gastric surgical websites that you can access menus and diet recommendations. Exercise will be crucial too.
I’m sure you’ll do great and I wish you the best of luck. 👍
This! Look for the liver cleanse diet they have you do before gastric sleeve surgery. It's only about 800 cals per day and would be very hard to do long term. I lost 15 pounds my first 2 weeks on it. It cleans things out and helps you lower your blood sugars and glycogen in the liver and helps you retain less water. Two months would be tough mentally but it's an achievable goal in a must do situation.
I once had to loose some weight fast and did the lemonade cleanse where I had nothing for 21 days but a lemonade made from fresh lemons and grade b maple syrup. I dropped the 20 pounds on time but it came back quickly.
I was down 76 pounds since November but have gained about 10 back the last few months between vacations, a good battle with covid, and just general diet burn out. I need to get back on the wagon and loose another 40 by November.
I've had good luck in the past with interment fasting and the old original LA weightloss plan before they started pushing their own pre made food. I carried around a little book and marked off the number of each food group I ate each day and glasses of water. I felt really healthy after a few months of that but it was hard to eat 5 servings of veggies a away and 4 servings of fruit with only 3 of carbs 2 of fat and 4 of protein. It seamed like a ton of food but it was good natural fresh cooked or raw. Made me realize how poorly I'd usually eaten but I lost 50 pounds overall in 4 months while adding 16 pounds of muscle.
If I had to do it in a hurry the pre baritric surgery liver cleanse and some intermittent fasting is what I'd try. And drink lots a water.
Try the Haylie Pomroy, Fast Metabolism Diet book. Lose 20 pounds in 28 days and then repeat until you have met your goal. I lost 50 pounds in under 3 months several years back following her plan.
I lost about that much weight in about that timeframe by dropping refined carbs from my diet. No bread, pasta, etc., but carbs in vegetables were fine. I lost a lot of weight and was way more energetic. Since that time (about 5 years ago) I've stuck to this way of eating and have held steady with the weight. Every so often I crave bread, but it's really not a hard thing to maintain.
What?
