Question

i want to lose weight desperately, about 20lbs in 20days. its a bit far-fetched but never mind. this is my plan: i eat 2 slices of bread, with peanut butter in the mornings, &for lunch i usually eat rice, an egg and 2 servings of veggies. for dinner i eat rice, 1 serving of veggies &about 1 or sometimes 2 servings of meat. i also eat bananas &pears. i usually snack on 2 more pieces of bread.
i also want to go to the gym about 3 times a week, &do pilates 4 times a week? is this okay? how much weight will i lose in how much time? thanks : D

Answer 1

Why in 20 days? Not a safe or realistic goal. On the other hand, your meal plan sounds relatively balanced & healthy. Just make sure you don't eat that exact thing every day. If you don't mix things up, you run a higher risk of being deficient in some nutrient, & you might get so bored with your food that you simply give up.

The weight you lose depends on a lot of things, such as your body fat % vs lean body mass, weight, gender, age, metabolism... & willpower.

My advice? Eat about fewer calories (but not too few either!) than you burn each day, eat healthy, stick to your workout plan, & see what happens. ;-)

Answer 2

The bottom line for any diet is that you need to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. To keep the weight off you must change your life style. Fad diets are generally not the healthiest ways to lose weight. Losing it as fast as you want to is probably not healthy, either, nor is is attainable. When dieting, it is important to get enough protein and vitamins and minerals. The key is to watch what you eat. Eat smaller portions, choose foods with more nutritional value instead of those with empty calories, and get some exercise. It's helpful to take a multi vitamin each day, to make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals. You don't need to get crazy about counting every calorie, just make sure that on days that you eat a little more that you get a little more exercise. By doing this, you will change your lifestyle in a way that is reasonable enough for you that you can keep the weight off. The first 3 to 5 days were the hardest for me. After that, my body adjusted to the changes and it became easy to eat just 1 or 2 small cookies and stop, instead of consuming a whole batch. Doing this, I lost about 30 pounds in about 9 months and have kept it off for over 2 years now.
