20 pounds a month??

Question

I’m not to educated when it comes to weight loss. So I was curious if 20 pounds a month was a realistic or even possible thing for me to do? I weigh 240 pounds, and I’m 5’11. My goal weight is 180 for now, and I’m just trying to get to that goal, as fast as I possibly can. Like are there pills, or any specific workout thing that will help me?

Answer

Realistically, changing your diet and exercising often will help you lose 1-2 lbs a week. I would say a more realistic goal would be to drop 10 lbs a month. I’m not saying 20lbs isn’t doable, but I don’t think it’s a very easy goal and there are no diet pills or fad diets that will give you those results. 
My advice, eat healthier, limit portions, drink more water, cut out sugary foods and drinks, cook more from home and don’t eat out often, and exercise a few times a week. You should drop weight just making a few lifestyle choices, but it won’t be a quick fix. It didn’t take your body 2 months to gain the weight, so it will take a bit to lose it. Just stay focused and positive, if you have a setback don’t let it get you down! You got this!

Answer

Most likely not possible. Statistically most people lose at most 2 pounds a week if doing it in a healthy manner. Just eat heathly and work out at least 5 days a week and cut out certain things. I completely cut out carbonated drinks and its helped a lot.

Answer

No. Taking any medication is a big no no. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, do it naturally. Medication of any kind would mess up your body. I took this tea before. It has "natural laxatives". I lost weight, yes. But without laxatives I couldn't poop anymore. My body became dependent on that. It took months for my body to recuperate. My metabolism was way off. I ended up gaining MORE weight. Apart from the tea I also took other supplements. It didn't help me in any way.
Just eat the right kind of food and exercise and you'll be good. It's all about lifestyle. Starving yourself and taking any medication is not advisable.

Answer

Hi!
I am an online health and fitness coach. There is no magical pill and even if there were it wouldn’t be a long term solution. Weight loss is about changing habits and making new healthier ones. I think losing 20lbs per month is not realistic and would be too drastic for your body and could make it go into starvation mode which in the long run will make it way harder to lose the weight. I can get you set up with great workout programs (so many to choose from!!) and nutrition guides that are custom made for the workouts. I also have motivation and accountability groups because consistency is key and the best way to do that is to be accountable to yourself and others that understand your journey and what you are going through!💕

Answer

No, not unless you’re like 600+lbs. I’d say 3-5 a month is normal. Some people can lose 10lbs though. It’s best to hire a personal trainer/ nutritionist. Someone that’s qualified and certified.
