2 weeks is quick to just change a diet. Id say you need to eat 3 whole meals with no snacks in between each day and do a lot of cardio like jogging or hitting a bike. Better yet google it for christ sake.
2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
1 medium onion(s), diced
2 medium carrot(s), diced
1 medium sweet red pepper(s), diced
1 medium stalk celery, diced
2 small zucchini, diced
2 cup green cabbage, shredded
2 cup Swiss chard, chopped
2 cup cauliflower, small florets
2 cup broccoli, small florets
2 tsp thyme, fresh, chopped
6 cup vegetable broth
2 Tbsp parsley, or chives, fresh, chopped
1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, optional
Instructions.
Put garlic, vegetables, thyme and broth into a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, about 10 minutes.
Stir in parsley or chives; season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
If you like thick soups, consider pureeing this recipe in the pot with an immersion blender.
MAKE A REALLY BIG POT OF THIS AND EVERY MORNING HAVE 30 GRAMMES OF CERIAL WITH SKIMMED MILK. HAVE A HEALTHY SANDWICH FOR LUNCH AND THIS SOUP FOR DINNER.
CUT OUT ANY SUGARY FOODS AND NO SUGAR IN YOUR TEA OR COFFEE. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO GET RID OF THE TOXINS IN YOUR BODY AND NO SOFTDRINKS UNLESS THEY ARE SUGAR FREE SUCH AS DIET COKE OR PEPSI MAX.
If you stick to this for the two weeks you'll find a massive weight loss in the first week purely through the shock change in your diet.
After your initial weight loss it will become harder to shift the weight you want to lose so vary your diet with different foods to change the way your metabolism thinks and it should help.
After the first week if you've done my magical soup recipe i'll be surprised if you haven't lost at least 6lbs.
The ingredients are just a guideline..If you want to keep it going and eat the soup all week for either lunch or dinner then make a bigger pot with more veg and add as many stock cubes as you like, preferably vegetable stock cubes..Be carful if you're going to thicken it up with tomato puree or something..Always check the kcals and saturated fat content..
It's also a good idea to leave out the salt becuase the salt in your body can sometimes retain water if you haven't been drinking enough of late.
I'd advise no jogging until the metabolism gets it shock from the change in the diet. Walking briskly for half an hour each day for the first week is better. Jogging will only promote muscle growth and toning which will only add a few pounds rather than take them off.

I have lost 16 pounds in a month. Don't starve yourself. Just eat lots of veggies and eat small portions of food. No soda, no junk food...eat LOTS of salad........
