Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

Have you actually manage to loose much weight in seven days? If you have, when you start eating again you will gain weight. Because starving yourself only works for weight loss while you keep on starving yourself, and you'll have to start eating again, or you’ll grow very, very sick.
A healthy lifestyle includes eating what your body needs (and yes, your body needs far, far more than barely anything) and staying physically active.
Go talk to your doctor or a nutritionist about what kind of nutrition you need and should be consuming. Once you are eating properly, you might gain some weight back, but if you eat properly and begin to exercise regularly, that weight will come off again and that time it will stay off and you'll be fit and healthy, instead of starving and unhealthy.
There is no true, healthy, sustainable weight loss by dieting alone. Exercise is the second part of the puzzle. Without exercise, your diet will only work so long as you keep on dieting - and your extreme diet will eventually harm you. The moment you eat properly, you are very likely to gain the weight back. To keep it off and get healthy, you need to eat healthy and get enough physical activity.
