I have been on a reduced calorie diet (one meal a day) since the start of february and have lost over 10 kg of both fat and muscle.

10KG? in 6 weeks? that sounds like a dangerously high amount of weight loss.
I went from 66 kg to ~55kg, eating only one lunch a day plus some fruits. I think I've gotten way too thin, that around 58 kg would have been better, and that's why I'm thinking of starting to supplement. I also have kept on exercising plenty, muay thai and boxing, and that might be why I've lost this much weight, even though I wasn't obese when I started.
It's really fast, but it depends what the starting point was. A lot of it could have been just water, if they were obese to begin with.
