There's not a person on this planet, all they got to do is follow the diet. I would figure out their BMR, their basal metabolic rate. Then out of those set calories I give them, it would be divided up a certain percentage of protein, carbs, and fats, which is very important. That would be their diet, and they'd stick to it. If they stick to that diet, they will lose two, three, four. But the average person who's maybe 20, 30 pounds overweight will lose two to three pounds a week. Guaranteed.
Imagine losing everything to heroin addiction and then clawing your way back to a life of purpose and health.
