You can lose 20lbs in 5 minutes if you cut your leg off..\n20 pounds in 5 weeks would involve losing 4 pounds a week. That's hard to do, not to mention unhealthy! You could safely lose 10 pounds in that amount of time, as it is healthiest to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.\nA pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. You would need to burn off 2000 more calories than you eat everyday for 5 weeks in order to lose that much! It won't happen unless you eat next to nothing and exercise like mad!\nTo lose 2 pounds a week, start burning off 500 calories a day, every day, through exercise. You will lose 1 pound of fat per week without even changing your diet! If you reduce your calories by 500, then you'll lose a second pound a week. Don't reduce your calories too much or your metabolism will slow down by as much as 30% because your body will throw itself into starvation mode. If you're a woman, eat at least 1200 calories a day, 1500 for men. Eat 5-6 small, healthy meals a day, try and make your calories mostly consist of fruit, veggies and whole grains. You will also need lots of protein if you burn 500 calories a day--go for lean meats, egg whites, and veggie burgers. Green tea is supposed to help with weight loss, so try drinking a cup or so of that everyday. Drink plenty of water!!!!

Eat only 3 times a day and exercise.\n\nBreakfast - 2 or 3 eggs, a slice of bread and 1 serving of fruit or fruit juice.\nLunch- a large piece of chicken or fish (not fried), 1 red skinned potato the size of your fist, and some vegetables.\nDinner- a large piece of chicken or fish (not fried) and vegetables.\n\nDon't put butter or anything greasy on any of it.  For the first week you won't see anything happening, but after ten days to two weeks you will see the pounds starting to tumble.  Also make sure you are taking your vitamins and minerals.

Eat a huge breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a tiny healthy dinner and eat your last meal before 7 pm every day.  Do that, and walk at a brisk pace twenty minutes a day four days a week and you will lose weight.  Not necessarily quickly, but you will.\nAnd no soft drinks!  Water, fruit juice, and skim milk.

Yup, done 20 in a month, but I went at it real hard.  I've heard that 2 - 3 pounds per week is healthy, no more.  15 pounds once probably isn't bad, but make sure you don't burn out if you make that goal or exceed it.

It depends on how much you currently weigh.  Weight Watchers stresses losing 1-2 lb a week, so 10-20 weeks to lose 20 lb.\n\nIf you'd like something faster, check Kimkins: http://tinyurl.com/ybyvhb

There is no way short of lyposuction to loose that much weight in one week. An ethical doctor wouldn't even remove that much during a single lyposuction session.  Loosing 20lbs in a week could be life threatening. You should aim for 5lbs a week.

Limit your daily caloric intake to about 1200, scattered across 5-6 small meals per day.  Then, every day, go out walking.  Walk at a brisk, "hurried" pace, for at least 30 minutes.  This combination should help you drop 4 pounds in 5 days.  BUT, this is NOT a healthy "long term" diet plan.  It will be OK to do this every once in awhile, for a quick fix, but you will need to revert back to a normal eating plan afterward.  Of course, if you want to keep up the walking routine, that would be fine!

I can give u a one week  Diet Schedule, which i've tried myself and lost 5.0kgs at the end of the week. Actually, by following this schedule one can loose upto 7.5 kgs in a week. One can repeat this schedule as many times as desired without side effects, 'coz it is based naturally and contains "no" artificial ingredients and pills.\n\nDay 1 : All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the\nfruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons\nthe first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit\nconsumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are\nvery good.  \n\nDay 2 : All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed \nwith all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit\non the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will \nstart day two with a large baked potato for breakfast.\nYou may top the potato with one pat of butter. \n\nDay 3 : A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount,\nany quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today. \n\nDay 4 :  Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas\nand drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special\nsoup, which may be eaten in limited quantities. \n\nDay 5 : Today is feast day. You will eat mutton and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. \nportions of lean mutton. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes.\nOn day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is\nto cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. \n\nDay 6 : Mutton and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of \nMutton and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. \n\nDay 7 : Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices\nand all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be\n4.5-7.7 kgs lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss,\nrepeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like,\nhowever, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in\naddition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne\nfor white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic\nbeverages with the exception of beer, which is allowed. Any liquor \n(bourbon,vodka,rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. \nYou may have an occasional cordial such as crème de menthe or schnapps,\nbut you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only\nwines that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol\nadds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will \nhelp your digestion and settle your stomach. \n\nBeverages you may consume while on the program: \n1. Water (flavored with lemon/lime if desired). \n2. Club Soda is OK. \n3. Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness. \n4. Black Tea = Herb or Leaf. \n5. Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices, which are part of day\nseven. No fruit juices before day seven.

How much you want to loose? I lost 18 lbs in 5 weeks by cutting my high carbs,(potatoes, rice, pasta, bread) and drinking 8 glasses of water and sometime have 1 soda.  You eat more veggies instead of fruit because fruit is higher in sugar. I was able to loose the weight with exercising at all.  My total loss so far is 36 lbs\n\nGood Luck

1.  Pray often for the will to loose weight.\n2.  Put a particularly bad fat picture of yourself on the refrig.\n3.  Place your scales in front of refrig.\n4.  Throw out foods that you know you shouldn't eat but can't resist and shop for healthy low cal, low fat food.\n5.  Get out old jeans you used to wear and keep trying them until they fit again.\n6.  Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day so your body isn't fooled into releasing hormones that make you hungry.\n7.  Go to group such as weight watchers.  They have a great plan anyone can follow and the power in the group really motivates.  They make you weigh weekly and when you've done well everyone claps.\n8.  It has always been helpful for me to have a friend dieting with you.\n9.  If you have to cook for family make the same meal for everyone and don't give them hamburger and fries when your only having salad with baked chicken and fat free dressing.  You'll feel deprived and overworked.\nGood Luck.

cut down on your intake.  cut your portions.  snack on veggies! drink a lot of water. check the labels of food before you buy it.  Drink at least 8 ozs of water before a meal or when you snakc. Do a daily calorie diary.  Work off more then you put in. walk, run, just get up and start moving.\nSo far I have lost 20lbs this way, and have another 100lbs to go.  I really hate raw carrots, but I hate being a fat cow more.  I would also suggest moving the scale into the kitchen, in front of the goody cabnit.. want to get something to eat.  Step on the scale... is it worth it?  thought not, eat a carrot!!\nP.S.  When drinking alot of water its a good idea to buy extra toilet paper.... as you will be "going" more.

This is a GUARANTEED proven method of loosing 10 to 15lbs in only 2 weeks. GUARANTEED!!\n\nI have found that the fastest proven method for loosing 15 pounds without using any supplements is by doing the following:\n\n1. Eat 5 to 6 small meals per day ( every 2 to 3 hours)\n2. Eliminate all sugar, sodium and flour from your diet\n3. Eat at least one portion of protein and complex carbs per meal.\n4. Perform moderate exercise for at least 60 minutes every day (walking at a brisk pace), plus 20 minutes of resistance exercises at least every other day.\n5. Drink at least one gallon of water per day\n\nHow can I guarantee this you ask?\nBy virtue of elimating sodium alone you will loose at least 6 to 7 pounds. With the elimination of simple carbs and sugar you will loose an additional 5 pounds. Then, the addition of cardio and resistance exercises will bring you to at least 10lbs GUARANTEED!!!

25lbs in 4-5 weeks is not really that feasible - i know - i had to lose 70lbs after the birth of my kiddo - however..you could lose about 15 I say - because I did and here is how...\n\nSouth Beach Diet works very well - its a no brainer and it IS healthy so that part is taken care of. Some people complain about Phase 1 part of the diet, truthfully - I skipped it and went straight to Phase 2 and did very well.\n\nThen second part to losing all this weight is exercise. And believe me - I hate it..but..you HAVE to do it - you have to do something that really gets your heart rate up and for me it was Billy Blanks TaeBo. It is kick-butt and even if you are a beginner - you can just do what you can , march in place and then catch back up when you can again. I did his Basic workout series, not with the bands that he has. Although any of them will work. But you HAVE to exercise - and I did 4 days a week for about 40 minutes.\n\nTHAT is a sure fire way to lose weight quickly and healthy - South Beach and 4 days of 40 minutes of cardio. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise or diet plan though. \n\nAnd last thought - 1lb of fat = 3500 calories. To lose 1 lb a week - you have to omit 3500 calories from your diet. It sounds like a lot - it is - but not over 7 days - over 7 days you have to omit 500 calories a day from your diet. And you do that two ways - 1. from dieting and 2. from exercising. If you can omit 500 calories in food per day and then burn another 500 calories- thats 2 lbs a week. you'll also lose some water weight - so 2-3 lbs a week is pretty feasible.\n\nAim for 15 lbs in 6 weeks and you'll be doing great! And I'm with ya there - I have 10lbs I want to lose and am on the fast track to getting it off. its HARD though but we can do it!\n\nGood luck - be healthy and try to have fun with exercise so if Tae bo isn't for you - find something else - simply walking (walking fast though) is going to do it for you too. Try taking a class of kickboxing or aerobics - I did kickboxing class 2 times a week and it REALLY helped. (and then I lost the weight last year and haven't exercised since and am paying for it now! hahaha)

Diet and excercise go together.  If you're 5' 7" at 150 you are of average weight, you shouldn't try and lose 20 lbs.  If you feel like you're fat, I suggest you excercise.  Do cardio and situps.  \n\nAlso, it's good to watch what you eat.  Eliminate junk food and fattening, oily food.  Also, it's best to eat about 5 - 7 small meals a day instead of 2 - 3 large ones.  The idea behind this is that everytime you eat, your body starts to break down the food.  The more frequently you eat, you'll trick your body to increase metabolism, which burns fat.

You shouldn't.  That's too much weight to lose in a week. (depending on your weight of course, because if you're 120lbs and lose 20, you'll be a "anorexic" at 100)\n\nBut, a good diet of fiber, water, and exercise should speed things up.  So each a lot of fruits and whole wheat bread, drink the 8 glasses of water, walk a lot, and remember to have some proteins here and there (chicken for dinner).
