20kg in 60 days, what is that, 1kg every 3 days.
Assuming fat loss primarily, 1kg = ~7000kcal.
7000/3 = 2333kcal a day deficit. Assuming a fairly sedentary behaviour, but ignoring his excess weights effect on his metabolism. He is going to be a few hundred calories away from pure starvation.
500kcal a day max is what he could be eating to sustain that sort of progression. And this is assuming a decent metabolism and a little activity.
You can't sustain this, and introducing exercise of sufficient intensity (I burn ~3200kcal a day, so about my level) to maintain that deficit while eating say 1000kcal a day, is just ridiculous. You'll be burning through muscle tissue like its candy.
This is not a good idea, and for so so many reasons. All you'll end up with is a bag of skin and bones.
