  My friend lost 95 -89kg within a Month...Its going to 88 soon...
  
  His diet is 2 meals a Day totalling roughly to about 1300+ Kcals...
  
  Hes not supposed to exceed 2592 kcals Per day
  
  His aim for weight loss is losing 1 kg a week...
  
  Is this possible and any good advice he can get ?

  yupp.. certainly possible.. but his diet ain't very good.
  he will probably get back all the weight he lost after some time..
  losing more than 1 kg per week is not so good for the body..
  he must limit his carbohydrates intake.. more protein, more good fat..
  then exercise..

  2 meals a day is gonna kill his progress. Need to up frequency to up his metabolism. Also needs to be eating more than 1300kcals. That's too drastic a change. Eating slightly below maintenance would be good.

  I once tried a diet of having a cup of milk in the morning, a cup of yogart for lunch and a normal dinner for 2 weeks...
  I lost 4kg...
  
  But after that, i continue my big eating and gain loads of weight back >.<"

  there is such a thing called yo-yo dieting, which is very bad. What happens after dieting is that you lose muscle, and your body brings down your basal metabolic rate (resting rate). Thus, your body become more "efficient", and burn less overall calories. But do we want that? The moment we bring our diet back to normal, we gain even more weight, because now total calories intake exceed total calories expenditure more than before.
  
  Then if you continue to diet again to lose weight, this cycle will continue and continue, and at the end, you will end up either eating almost nothing, or being much fatter than before.

  You can lose fat even if you eat more than 2000kcals.
