If done correctly, you could conceivably lose 10 plus lbs in about 14 days! There is a paperback book & some great websites about this ... I think www.lowcarbeating.com is one!
As for the cardio, try doing running on one day, perhaps swimming or biking or rollerblading the next. The key to keeping it up is to make it fun & to try not get bored.
Just my thoughts ... this worked for me before our spring break a couple of weeks ago - I lost about 14 pounds!!

If you lost ten pounds in fourteen days the VAST majority of it would be in water and muscle. The problem with a lot of extreme diets is that they cause muscle loss, so that as soon as you go off the siet you gain the weight back and more because by decreasing muscle you have decreased the amount of calories your body burns on a daily basis.
A healthy and more potentially permanent weight loss is at a rate of 1-2 pounds/week.
