Losing 5 pounds in one week is unreasonable. 5 pounds in 2-4 weeks is a bit better. You seem to not understand what a diet is. You state you do not do them, yet you will need to have a great diet to lose weight. You see, a diet is a lifestyle, not just some 1 or 2 week thing you do to lose 5 pounds. You will only end up gaining that plus a bit more back after you are done starving yourself. I will try to explain what you should be doing below.
The easiest, quickest, and safest way will involve a complete lifestyle change for most people. I do not know what you currently do for your own health so I will go over as much as I can in a brief time.
1) Exercise - Cardiovascular activities will burn the most calories. Some people may tell you to lift weights, but that will not be the quickest, nor the most beneficial. You should jog or run 3-4 times a week at every-other-day. This will force your body to keep burning calories, even on your off days; many people call this "boosting your metabolism". I personally do the following:
Monday- Jog for 3-5 miles
Tuesday- Weights
Wednesday- Jog for 3-5 miles
Thursday- Weights
Friday- Jog for 3-5 miles
Saturday- Weights
Sunday- Off
For me, this is what I found the best to stay cut while maintaining my muscles. When I stated "Weights" I actually target different muscle groups when I lift. This gives every muscle a turn to rest while only being worked one vigorous day a week.
2) Diet - You can chose what you want to eat; your parents have been telling you what was healthy since before you can remember. In a sense, they were right. You need to eat your greens, along with some fruits, dairy, and meats. Because you are losing weight you need to target the lean meats such as fish or chicken; it is best to eat these grilled or the like - fried food is bad. Water is a necessity for you to grow, as well as for you to lose weight. Drink, drink, drink.
3) Rest - This is necessary for your muscles to recover. While they are recovery you will continue to burn calories; this is why I recommend every-other-day to prevent waisting time. If you were to go for building muscle, you would benefit from resting and working different muscle groups; your muscles can take more than just a day to pick back up your strength and finish recovering(growing). Many amateurs pick up the weights and get so focused on a ripped body they think it best to work out the entire body every single day. This is only harming them and causing them to not see the progress they long for; thus making many of them give up or quit.
4) Supplements - Many people focus on this as their primary branch of diet; this will build a tree of sticks and not of quality. I personally believe an amateur should stick to a good multivitamin, maybe some fishoil to give them the omega 3's and maybe an amino acid supplement. Nothing more is really necessary if you're just aiming to lose weight. Some people recommend protein, however I feel that this is only necessary if you are going for muscle gains or if you are a vegetarian/vegan.
I hope I helped, any other questions just email me. I am not a "health freak" like many people that may answer your question. I am a person with real evidence that I know what I am doing. I have my ideal body that I compete and win with.

Hi there!
It is possible to lose weight in reletively short period. You just need to be showed how it is done.
Eating the right portions at the right times will do the trick. Although there are many diets out there, there is one that's been doing really well for people. Without having to change their eating habbits in a drastic way. I suggest you take a look at this article I read not a long time ago.
