Is it possible to lose 20 pounds in one month?
A body mass index of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal. Your BMI is 22.6, well within that range. Everyone is different–and while it has been proven that BMI is not an overall indicator of health or actual fitness, you should probably go a little easier on yourself. Try eating healthier (more vegetables and fruit especially) and avoid less salty, fatty snacks. It is particularly important to eat breakfast to get your metabolism going and avoid eating after dinnertime so that your food can digest before you go to bed. You only need to do aerobic exercise for 30-45 minutes every other day to lose weight. Don’t beat yourself up. The healthiest weight loss is very gradual. You could damage your body in a number of ways by exercising too much. Keep in mind that exercise is only a part of getting to your ideal weight–being thin won’t matter if you aren’t healthy.
