I don't believe this "first 10 lbs is fudge" thing. The weight you are losing is the same stuff - fat at 3500 calories/pound, no matter if you gained it recently eating fudge or 10 ears ago eating a slight excess of healthy things relative to your total respiration.
The only weight you lose really easily and fast (in a matter of a day) is water weight, which is transient anyway. And for sure, dieting by dehydration is neither sustainable nor advised.
