How difficult would it be to lose 20-30 pounds in 3 months?
it’s difficult but it can be done – safely and without drugs, supplements or starving yourself. I lost 55lbs in less than 4 months and you may be able to do the same. First of all, don’t count calories. Fat is what you need to be mindful off. Try to keep your fat intake to under 25% a day. Read the labels on your food and make note of the % of daily fat for that portion. Keep track of that number throughout the day and you will lose weight. Foods to avoid if you want to lose weight: Sugar. Avoid any kind of sugar. If you want something sweet, eat an apple. Bread. If you must have bread, eat a tortilla wrap, pita bread or english muffin. Meats – avoid pork if you can. Try not to eat read meat more than twice a week. Soda Pop – DO NOT drink this. Not even the diet stuff. If you drink coffee, try switching to green tea for at least 1/2 the week. Once you lose about 15lbs, your stamina should start increasing.

For your height and weight, you are overweight- but not grossly overweight. Thus, losing 20-30 pounds would be more difficult than compared with someone who was grossly overweight. As always, diet and exercise are the key. As for diet, try eating 6 smaller meals a day with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. A single serving of fruit for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. Dinner should be a sensible meal- minimize rice and breads. Try this for a two-week period. Then, vary your meals accordingly. Workouts should have weights and circuit type of training. Free weights are great for toning and weight-loss. You can try dumbbell squats with shoulder presses. Here is a great and effective circuit training using a treadmill. Walk for 2 minutes (as a warm-up), jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, then jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, etc…do this for about 20-23 minutes. This works great. By the way, do not be a slave to scale. Check the mirror also. It will show results
