Lose 20 lbs in a month?

Question

So, my family and i are going on a trip and my dad REALLY needs to lose this weight so he can get on this excursion but he only has a month left! So 1: is it even safe to lose this weight? he'll likely be gaining it all back right after, 2: He wont take pills and hasn't done anything to try to lose the weight; he doesnt exercise or anything and likely wouldnt... so it has to be like something that can be done at home (low/no fat recipies would be greatly appreciated!) and 3: is it even possiable for someone who isnt trying to lose this much weight in a month with the help of his family? cause if not we probably wont even go on this thing (its a zip line through the jungle) and i think it would be actually one of the most amazing experiances ever so really, ANY help at ALL would be great! thanks so much everyone :)

Answer 1

wow, what an exciting opportunity! unfortunately, i don't have the best of news for you. it doesn't sound like your dad is committed to losing any weight at all, let alone a very unhealthy drop of 20 lbs. in only one month (7-10 lbs. is a healthy max for one month--and this can only be done WITH exercise).

try 24hourfitness.com for low fat/low cal recipes (they have TONS) and try to convey how important the excursion is for you--as well as your dad's overall health. be the good influence in his life and even if you don't get to go on your trip now, it can be his incentive to lose the weight.

good luck and hope this helps!

I have been working really hard to get a lean body. I go to the gym every day, watch what I eat, but still could not get the body I wanted. That was until I found this body cleansing stuff. I was able to get the great body I wanted in 9 days. I did a 9 day cleanse and lost 15 pounds and 17 inches, 3 inches from my waist! I had been working so hard for over a year to get this, and this program gave me what I wanted in 9 days. I found out that many body builders use this to get ready for competitions because the protein in the shakes builds muscle and the cleanse helps to get rid of the toxins stored in the fat cells. When the toxins are removed, the fat cells shrink and you definitely can tell in the way your clothes fit! I recommend this product for anyone wanting to get a better looking body quickly. I found out about it at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. It is expensive but it works! You can get cleansing info at this website http://GetAnewBod.com

Answer 3

In my opinion, losing 20 pounds in a month - even if he could (which would require a radical change in his life) would be a bad idea for health reasons. Unless you lose weight gradually and in a manner where the diet or healthy behavior becomes a part of your life, you are guaranteed to gain the weight back. There is no temporary weight loss solution. You have to change every aspect of your life.

Ok, I'm a really skinny girl to begin with, but I stopped drinking sodas. I mean all sodas, no cokes for a month and I dropped over 20 pounds in a month. You wouldn't believe how much sugar people drink in a day...

Answer 6

You really need more than a month to lose 20 pounds healthfully. I suggest he join a gym and hire a personal trainer.

Answer 7

Do the south beach diet.....he will lose probably MORE than 20 pounds in a month but he has to be strict about it.

losing that much weight in one month is not healthy. healthy weight loss is 2 pounds a week.
