What is a quick way to lose 20lbs in a month?

Question

What's your opinion?

Answer 1

I lost 20 pounds in about 6 weeks. I changed my diet drastically. I cut back on calories-I tried a high protein diet(short time only recommended). High protein-protein shakes-grilled chicken, fish, pork tenderloin- I drank only water and skim milk. No sweets or salty snacks-unless I was hit with a hard craving-better to go ahead and splurge-you don't want to be too hard on yourself-it will get harder if you don't give in. I started light exercise. Not much though-and only at home. You can take an appetite suppressant if you need help controlling hunger-but be careful-they will make you not want to eat anything. Losing weight is 80% diet!-Personal Trainer told me that. I have some good websites for you.

Good luck and be careful!!! Expect setbacks-don't be hard on yourself!

Answer 2

There is no quick way to lose 20 pounds in a month. My suggestion is eating healthy and exercising regularly. Incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet along with various exercises.

Answer 3

20 pounds in a month is a lot and can be stressful on your heart. You should average 2-3 pounds a week, to do it the safe way.
Eat healthy and get plenty of exercise. Also green tea does wonders for speeding up your metabolism.
Good luck.

Answer 4

You CANNOT safely lose 20 lbs. in a month. You can only safely lose 2 to 3 lbs. a week. Any "quick way" to lose weight is unhealthy and will not keep the weight off.

Answer 5

20 lbs in a month isnt going to happen

Try either Atkins diet or Weight Watchers. Ive had friends and myself on both. We lost 3lbs a week on each diet. Which will bring you just a few pounds shy of your goal.

Good luck!

You can loose a kilo a week easy without exercise with the following, and reduces hunger pangs, and brings you back to a normal weight, while focusing on low GI.
> Plenty of water, no sugar, no white bread.
> Breakfast : banana, skim milk, qtr tsp honey milk shake
Coffee (no sugar)
> Mid Morning : Small mixture of nuts, saltanas, carrots sticks
> Lunch : Mixed salad, lettuce, olives, cucumber, cheese, smoked salmon or chicken pieces
> Afternoon : Apple, rest of nuts, cup of tea (no sugar)
> While making dinner : Small amount of cheese, olives, 5 rice crackers, 1 small glass of wine
> Dinner : Steak, Chicken or fish, small amount of sweet potato, OR corn, OR pumpkin, green vegetables, some carrot
> Dessert : 2 spoonpulls of tinned fruit, and small yogurt

The secret :
= Snack on small cheese, and small crackers, makes dinner feel fulle rin your tummy. You will sleep better too.
= STAY AWAY from sugar, morning cereals, white bread, white rice, white potato, cookies, cakes, icecream, lollies
= Stay busy, and snack on apple, nuts, 2 coffees in the morning, and a tea at night keeps away hunger pangs.
= the banana gives you energy, and goodness in the mornng, while the coffee wakes you up, and kick starts metab.

I feel more energy than I have ever felt before, have a post baby body at 76 kgs, and went down to 67 kgs in 2 months, and have kept it off for 2 years. Bread now gives me a headache, so I limit it to 1 slice fo toast every 2nd morn, or a salad sandwhich 2 times a week, or icecream and wafers every sat night.

The key is staying away from wheat, and sugar, and white potato.

if you can do this, you will not believe the change in your personality, sex life, skin tone, size, positive attitude, brain power, energy, and the length of your life.

After the first week - it is so damn easy. I have never looked back - only to take my larger clothes to St Vinnies op shop.

You know you can do it.

If you get time to go walking in the mornng or afternoon, then that will speed up the process by 20 %

twenty in a month hmm... i'd say run (on a treadmill or something) every day for 1hr-1hr and a half. you don't need to go fast. then i would also eat good, like not so many carbs and watch how much "junk food" you eat. try to have a good balanced diet.
