How can i lose 20 lbs in a month?
You have to be really strict with your eating and exercise habits. Tons of cardio...at least AT LEAST 45 minutes per day, plus a few days a week of about 20 minutes worth of light strength training (gaining lean muscle mass raises your metabolism and helps you lose weight in the long run). Use 3-5lb weights to start. Put some motivational tunes on your iPod and get out there and run, girl. Lots of water...cut back on soda, and limit your calorie intake to about 1600 per day. If you cut out carbs, you will only put the weight back on when you are done with your diet. Balance your meals. You will feel hungry at first, but stick with it. I did this 2 years ago and have not put the weight back on. And I have remained active. It was hard at first, but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Lose 20 lbs in a month on subway?
Eating a salad on bread, with a little tuna, and the water and all, well, yeah, I did something similar, and it really did nothing but put my body into starvation mode=not much loss. Like 2 lbs. Here's what DID work: I combined Slim Fast with Special K cereal. Eat one or the other for breakfast, and lunch. ( Special K has some really good flavors and I I love the slimfast creamy milk chocolate). I tried both diets alone, but like it better to have my choice of either one, at both meals. If you want to skip one, say at lunch, and eat a real lunch, do it, just have the slimfast or the cereal at dinner. in about 2 weeks, with walking 40 mins a day,( in place at home), drinking some hot hearbal tea before bed, and drinking lots of Figi water all day, I lost 7 lbs. This week I am for some reason, craving Ginger ale soda, so I am having that when I wake up, with 1 slice of toast. Then salad for lunch, and a blueberry yogurt. Tonight I had a Subway Veggie sub( the one with the veggie pattie), with some southwest dressing on it) and more Ginger ale. I eat some watermelon or a peach whenever I want. I keep doing my walking work out, at home, it's great. I got this dvd-get one that makes u feel good. Hey, whatever works. I was THRILLED to lose 7 lbs in 2 weeks, without feeling like crapola. It's given me the courage to and positive attitude to keep going.
What is it like to lose 20 lbs in a month?
Short answer, when done right, it feels great, and it is not terribly difficult but it does require some discipline. having said that, it depends on how much you weighed to begin with.First, understand calorie in and calorie out is a real thing. So, you will have to adjust some eating choices. For example, a regular snickers bar has 280 calories. That’s roughly equivalent to 12 oz chicken breast. Guess which one will keep you feeling fuller, longer? A cup of halved strawberry and apples slices will set you back 72 calories, about a quarter of the aforementioned candy bar, but you won’t crash after eating the fruit, you may actually have more energy.Next, you will need to determine how many calories you need to maintain your current weight. That is roughly 12–13 calories per pound of body weight. So, for example, a 300 lb man will need roughly 3750 calories a day to maintain that weight. So, if that same man adjusts his diet to 2000 calories a day, they will go into a calorie deficit of 1750 a day, or 12,250 a week, or 52,500 a month. One must expend 3500 calories to burn a pound of fat. So 52,500/3500 equals 15 lbs of fat a month.So, that leaves about 5 pounds, or 17500 calories to burn a month through exercise. This is a little more challenging as it requires a workout that expends about 583 calories a session. At first, set your goals a little lower, but walking 40 minutes at a 3 mph pace with burn that many calories. Tabata, HIIT, kettlebells will burn more, and they can be scaled to your abilities too.Finally, a little fasting doesn’t hurt. If you can eat only in an eight hour window your body will burn fat at an even quicker pace.So, it is not too painful. Good Luck

I lost 20 lbs in 1 month. Is it too unhealthy?
Depends on how much you currently weigh. If you are heavier, it is healthier if you do it right. If you are lighter, then not so much.Remember it is a function of calorie in and calorie out. Multiply a person's body weight by 12 for a man and 10 for a woman and that will give you a good idea of how many calories they need to eat to maintain their weight (base upon activity level). Thus a 300 lb sedentary man would need about 3600 calories a day to maintain their weight, while a 200 lb man would need 2400. For women it would be 3000/2000.Now to burn a pound of fat you must expend 3500 calories. So if you go into a daily calorie deficit of 500 cal, that would be 3100/2500 calories a day for the heavy man/woman respectively, and 1900/1500 for the smaller man/woman.So, to lose 20 lbs of fat, then one would have to expend 70000 calories in that month., or 2333.33 a day. Now if the 3000lb man cut to a 2000 calorie a day diet, then they would go into a daily deficit of 1600, or 48000 a month. Now, walking for an hour a day at 3 miles per hour, could burn up to 630 calories, for 18900 a month, to equals to about 67000 a month. All healthy and doable.If you replace energy dense (high calorie) foods with nutrient dense (low calorie foods) it become much healthier And, if you fast intermittently, you will still actually burn more calories per pound of body fat than that.
How do I lose 20 pounds in one month?
Not sure why the tight deadline, but let’s see if I can help.First though, let’s get something straight…Can it be done? Yeah, unfortunately.You’re like, “Wait! Why is that unfortunate??!!”Well, because it’s possible, but you won’t keep that weight off. I can pretty much guarantee it.So then what’s the point, right?I am constantly trying to get people to understand that rapid weight loss is rarely a good thing.Unless you’re a prize fighter or fitness model, then it makes sense as you approach your fight or photo shoot date.But if you’re just a regular person (meaning someone that doesn’t earn their living from the performance of their body) then goals like this end in more frustration than anything else.However, I hate when people don’t answer questions regardless of personal opinion.Here’s what to do:Eat 3 times per day, with 4–5 hours in between meals and a 12 hour fast between your last meal and breakfast.Meals consist of protein and green veggies only. Protein shakes are perfect here, otherwise it’s chicken, lean beef, or white fish. Protein per meal is 40–50g (guys) or 20–30g (girls). Veggies are anything green and 1–2 cups per meal.Train intensely with weights, “metabolic circuit” fashion, for 30 minutes every other day. Full-body routines, focusing on squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and carrying.Walk an hour every day. Easy, leisurely walking. Not jogging, or running.Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water every day. For example, a 200 pound person should drink 100 ounces of water. That’s about 12 cups.Sleep at least 7 hours a night. This. Is. A. MUST.Those 6 tips above are essential to get the belly fat burned off, not just in a timely manner, but with a long-term focus on keeping it off, as well.-BradP.S. - If you’re weight loss has stalled, you can check out this guide on what is going wrong and how you can fix it.It’s an infographic set that can be downloaded and printed off, to put anywhere!
