For many people knowing how to lose 20 pounds in a month would be a dream. Put that dream right in front of you because I am saying that there are ways that you can lose 20 pounds in a month.
To get started on any weight loss goal is easy but you need a strategy and tactics in place to know how to lose 20 pounds in a month. Your strategy towards any goal is the broad strokes, the big concepts that are important. Here is your weight loss strategy
- Increase your resting metabolism
- Reduce your calorie intake
- Quickly burn calories during cardio and weight workouts
Now that you have a strategy to lose 20 pounds in a month so now you need the tactics that will make it a reality. You need radical changes to lose 5 pounds a week.
Your tactics are the individual things that will make your dream work out for you.
How to lose 20 pounds - Eating Tactics
Plan your eating the day before – If you plan your eating the night before then you are not going to have to worry about getting into a struggle of eating these crappy foods and instead will know what you are going to eat when.
Eat 5 or 6 small meals a day – This is going to help you to raise your metabolism. When you eat often you are sending a message to your body that you are not going to starve and that you will always have enough to eat.
Have leftovers a lot to make it easier to eat good food – If you make giant helpings of meals then you will have lots of leftovers to choose from. One of the problems that I always hear from people is that they are worried that if they have to eat really often then they will spend their whole life preparing meals. this is just not at all the case.
Eat meals that are small – One thing that drives me crazy is how we allow our bodies to waste food. It is hard to find a steak smaller than 8 ounces in a restaurant but did you know that your body has almost no way for digesting and using more than 4 ounces of that steak?
How to lose 20 pounds in a month
Eat lots of fiber – Fiber will increase metabolism and make you healthier by cleaning out toxins.
Drink lots of water – Who cares what the so called experts say. Water makes your metabolism faster and makes you feel great
How to lose 20 pounds - Exercise Tactics
Exercise twice a day – One 20 minutes workout in the morning and another one in the evening.
Do weights once every second day – Getting muscle will help your body burn more fat. The muscle takes a lot of calories to maintain while fat takes nearly none.
Split your cardio workouts between high and low intensity – High intensity to burn a lot of carbs off and low intensity to finish of the fat hanging around
Cardio is 20 minutes of hard cardio – Hard cardio is defined as keeping your heartrate up around 80% of your max. This will raise your metabolism for a long time 12 – 24 hours.
Walking or casual exercise can be an hour long – This is a great way to burn fat as you can exercise low impact by walking for an hour.
Weights should be basic exercises – Basic exercises are things like squats, bench presses, lunges, military presses. These exercises work a lot of muscle groups at once.
Healing between workouts is most important – Now that you are working out it is a good idea to get a lot of rest and sleep so that your body can recover. Your body only recovers when you are sleeping or at least resting.
There are no guarantees of course that you will lose 20 pounds in a month but just look at this plan of attack. Is this different than you are doing now? Are these new lifestyle changes possible for you? It is all up to you to see what radical changes that you can make in your life and what they will lead to. Good luck in your quest and at the very least you now know how to lose 20 pounds in a month.

I am 14 going on 15, I am 5’4 and weigh 129 pounds (after a meal) I am hoping to get down to 115 in 3 or 4 weeks. Getting motivated is not a problem, as long as I have a plan to keep to, (I’ve lost weight before) I don’t mind dieting as long as someone tells me what I should eat- I was hoping someone could help me and outline what I should eat and when and how often- simply.
Many thanks x
Hi, I am a dancer and desperately want to lose weight because I do not feel like I look as good as I can. I weigh 180 and want to be down to at least 150. What can I do? I try to lose weight by going on a diet, but I can never stick to it because eating unhealthy is so easy and fast to do. I tried starving myself for a day, but of course that didn’t work. Please help me. I am 15 and a teenage boy. Thank you.
IM 5’4 and 225lbs….I am pregnant but still very large and unhealthy. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and since surgery I have put on so much weight and I’m always so tired I can’t get motivated to exercise….any ideas? My doctor said I have severe hypothyroidism. Any help is appreciatef
That’s wonderful, Okay 5’2″ and weigh 204 I need to lose at 30lbs for starters because. This excess weight is not healthy and I can feel it
i am 15 5’7 and 165 pounds and want to lose some weight but im having a hard time commiting to the diet because of school. what can i do to motivate myself and lose some weight?
Jaide, A lot of people tell me they know what to do, but can’t do it.
One trick is to stand in front of the mirror wiith no clothes on. Many times, that gets people mad enough to start.
If you do not know where to start..then just start walking. Walk arounf the block and time yourself. Write down your time and keep track every day to see if you can beat the previous time.
You just have to start somewhere…
Stop eating foods high in sugar. Sugar makes you crave more sugar and it makes you drowsy and lose motivation.
Write down on a piece of paper. I weigh_____ lbs, on ____2013.
Decide how much you want to lose, let’s say 20 pounds….and it should take 10 weeks So, write down, I weight 145 on June 16th and it feels so great getting compliments.
Decide, WHY you want to lose 20 pounds and get excited about the why.
YOU can do it.

Four years ago I lost 72 lbs. and I want to lose 20 lbs. Im 5′ 8″ at 162 lbs. Any suggestions
i am 5`3″ and i am 161 pounds i wont to lose weight i wont to lose 20 pounds hopw can i do that
I’m 5’2″ and two years ago I was one hundred and ninety pounds. Just be determined, drink 8 cups of water a day and lots of veggies, fruit, and lean meats. Start exercise. I started the Jillian Michele’s 30 day shred and lost 20 pounds. If you can’t run, fast walk for 3-4 miles about 3 times a week. I was too heavy to jog so I started slow. Without adding a healthy diet and water I would have never have got to where I’m at now. I’m a healthy 120 lb going on 115.
Congrats to you! That is amazing!!!
