How can I loose 20 pounds in three months?

What type of exercise regimen would be appropriate, how many times a week should I work out, for how long, at what intensity etc etc what should I be eating/not eating? I'm very confused at where to begin.
Answer:
That is an unrealistic goal and you are setting yourself up for failure. Aim to lose one pound a week. If you have never exercised before, start slowly. Walk 20 minutes as many days as you can and gradually increase the time. You must eat in order to keep your metabolism revved up. Try 4-5 small meals each day. You don't say if you are male or female or how tall you are so its impossible to give you exact calories. Stick to lean protein, whole grains and lots of fruits and veggies. This is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.
If you are willing to us a special diet I would recommend the Cambridge Diet. It's a liquid diet that offers 100% of your daily nutritional requirements. You can either take it 6 times a day, or 4 times a day with a sensible meal. The frequency is a key to the diet. If your body gets use to eating every 2 hours, it's not going to convert the food to fats (as much). If you only eat one meal a day, your body goes into a "protection" mode. It thinks that it must store fat because it doesn't know when it might get food next. The only bad thing about this diet is that your stomach shrinks, which causes some pain. (It's good that it shrinks because you tend to eat less. It's just bad that you have too go through the pains. You should drink 8 glasses of water a day with this. This not only helps relieve the pain, it flushes out toxins, and keeps your stomach full. On the 3rd day you hurt a bit, and you want to eat everything you can find. When you make it past day 3 you don't even think about food.The best thing about this diet is that it actually reduces your stomach size, speeds up your metabolism by putting your body in a thermogenic state; and gives you 100% of your daily requirements. My brother and I went on this diet. I lost 27 pounds and my brother lost 25. It's not a fad diet. You should only stay on the diet for 2 weeks at a time. I know about 8 people who have been on this diet and done just as well. Some have lost more.Don't forget exercise is also very important. If you don't do so now I would recommend at least 3 days per week.FYI-My personal trainer is finishing his doctorate. His class did a study on about 20 different diets. This is the only one that they found to be true to their promises.Don't take my word for it (or anyone else's). Do your research. There are too many quacks out there.I hope this helps.
Hi
They say walking is the best form of exercise and it's free lol!! also I would think 2 to 3 lbs a week is a healthy weight loss. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water helps (add squeeze of lemon if you can't bare plain water) A healthy diet should include some treats but of course within moderation. Really it all depends on your weight right now and how active you are. The more active the more calories you will lose.
walk quikly for a hour every day eat heathy foods and if u got a bike rided as long as u want eveyday get a exercise dyd and do it and as for food u can only eat
fruit and veges
meat
couple slice of bread per day
salads
wheat bixs
premium or anything like that so u can put anything on it
and drink lots of water
Your question was "How can I loose 20 pounds in three months. Well, you don't. You shouldn't be looking to loose weight, you should be looking to be healthy. You can't wake up one day and decide that you want to loose twenty pounds through pure exercise and eating right. Then 20 turns into 30 and 30 turns into 40. Not attempt to loose weight attempt to be healthy.

Don鈥檛 consume: * Bread

* Fatty food and fried food--And optimize your body metabolism by doing the body clock habit.- Start your day with eating high protein breakfast.- Grains and cereals should be only done in the morning to complement our body clock schedule. While dinner should involves low carbs.- Get used to wake up at the same time everyday. That will let our body to adjust itself to control the production of melatonin hormone. The melatonin triggered the sleep, so by keeping the same gap between waking up and sleeping will ensure a constant peak of melatonin during the night. This will lead into a healthier life and better sleep.- Morning sun will heat the temperature in your body. So make sure your dining room gets a lot of sunlight. It warms up your body and set your internal clock in tune faster, your body temperature, energy and alertness will be optimized during the day.There's nothing miracle in this diet, and this is not a get slim quick scheme, if you want a get slim quick method then I suggest a fads diet for you.
