AIBU?
To ask how I can lose 2 stone in the quickest way possible?

I know why I’m overweight, and I know a quick fix isn’t usually the answer but I’ve just found out I’m eligible for IVF on the NHS. The only downside is I have to lose 2 stone to bring my BMI below 30.
I’m in shock as I’d got my head around the fact we’d have to use savings/ get a loan and when you pay privately, your BMI is less of an issue.
Apparently there’s no waiting list either so the sooner I lose the weight, the sooner we can crack on. Time isn’t on our side, I’m nearing 40 and have been recommended starting ASAP.
I’ve done meal replacement diets in the past and the weight loss was quick but I couldn’t exercise. To be honest, I’ve done every diet ever. 
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Exante! It's a VLCD and pretty intense, but I lost 3st in 2.5 months without any exercise. I'm currently pregnant but will be going back on it as soon as baby is here as I know I can shift the baby weight lightening fast. There's a great support community too, and the prices are really good, averages £20ish a week for all your food, highly recommend

I lost about 6 stone doing Keto within a 6 month time period.. fallen off the wagon since christmas and thankfully not gained a huge amount back but i'm getting back on it tomorrow (and sticking to it this time)...So i'd say Keto if you're prepared to 100% commit to it and truly follow clean keto (unlike me, i've always done Dirty/Lazy Keto and that's worked out well for me so far :P)
I will add, I do exercise as well which contributed to the weight loss...around 5 times a week

I lost 21 pounds in 5 weeks on Fast800. I only ate in a four hour window and had nothing other than water or herbal tea outside of that. I ate 800 calories of nutrient dense food (no junk at all). I didn't keep it off but the weight certainly fell off quick.

I've just lost 5lbs in a week. I did it by not eating any sort of sugar/crisps etc., I ate breakfast every day, of oats and a banana a small lunch, of fish and salad and in the evening I alternated between a sensible dinner and a very small tea. By sensible dinner, it was chicken and veg, steak and salad, things like that. For tea last night I had two boiled eggs and three ryvitas, with a scraping of marmite. No alcohol.
