How do you lose 20 pounds or more in a month? |
Weight loss options and approaches.
Answer
Burn more calories than you eat. It's always that simple, but there are quite a few caveats to that advice. If you eat nothing, you loose muscle mass and end up gaining all of the weight right back because at the end of your diet you have no muscle mass to continue burning calories. After all, calories are burned by muscles and without muscle the calories are just converted to fat.
The best way to drop the weight is to eat plenty of fruits, veggies and protein. Avoid the starches and fats in your diet, also drink plenty of water and avoid soda, alcohol, cheese, bread and anything with sugar listed as one of the first three ingredients. Read labels and keep the fat content down. Understand that sugar calories tend to cause an increase in insulin, which causes you to either burn the sugar as energy or store it as fat. Once the sugar is depleted, you feel hungry again and end up eating too much. Avoiding sugar gives you a much more steady blood sugar level and you won't get as hungry.
Whatever you do it needs to be accompanied with exercise. Do SOMETHING that makes you sweat and get a little out of breath. Good exercises include running, cycling, racquetball, hiking and I'm sure you can think of other activities. If you exercise for at least half an hour per day, and cut down on your calories, you SHALL loose weight.
re me
The best way too lose weight fast is to starve yourself and do loads of exercise, because by doing that you're getting rid of fat and not putting anything in it. Plus, if you're lazy, like me, and can't be asked to go to the gym, then you will still lose loads of weight by starving yourself. Your body will shrink in no time, so by the end of the month, you'll be walking around with the sexiest body ever!
If you take do-re-mi's advice
Keep in mind that starvation diets -- ones where you fast until you reach your goal weight -- almost always result in a rebound, where weight is put back on, even to the point of exceeding your previous pre-fast weight. This yo-yo effect -- alternately losing a regaining the weight -- is very stressful to the body and is, in the long run, bad for your health.
Ignore thy Above
Don't starve. Period, youll screw metabolism. Eat 5 to 6 small meals.
EX. Buy healthy choices or lean cusine frozen meals. they got about 300 calories. Cut out all bread, sugars, starches, trans fat. try drinking a gallon of water a day. If you cant drink that much buy crystal lite drinks the have 5 calories per 8oz.
