it is not about dieting... it is about changeing the way you eat all together.
i like to have a healthy smoothie for breakfast with greek yogurt.
then a small snack that has protein to help you feel more full like trail mix or a granola bar I like Kashi dark chocolate cherries thing
a harty lunch full of greens, potiens, and a fruit.
later i will have a snack like yogurt
dinner have a large salad with a protein a fun dressing helps
try pintrest for loads of recipes and idea plans they also have great exercise plan now I recommend making one seems easy enough then you have to try to stick to it and do the best you can you don't have to do exactly as it says do the best you can but do it every single day
Here's the thing - do you want FAST weight loss, or LASTING weight loss?
I started on a weight loss journey in July and have lost 12 pounds to date. That's not very impressive speed-wise, but at least I know this lifestyle is something I'll stick with.
I used the app My Fitness Pal to keep track of my calories. It was really hard at first, and I felt hungry a lot, but after a few days I adjusted. I started exercising 2-3 times a week, a combination of cardio and strength training. And I still treated myself often, with dessert or fast food. Now, if I stopped eating junk food entirely, I probably would've lost weight quicker, but it wouldn't have lasted.
There are various different strategies that you can use. One strategy that can work is the Atkins model. Basically, you stick to proteins and even fats and you reduce your carb intake drastically. I would not suggest that this is sustainable as a life change but it can definitely be good for short term weight loss.
In this scenario you would stick to eating meat, chicken, fish, along with green vegetables. You can have things such as cheese, cream, butter and milk in moderation. You would cut out bread, potatoes and pasta along with any unnecessary sugars. No sugar in tea/coffee, no cakes or candy, etc.
Diet is more important than exercise, though exercise (aerobic mainly) such as tennis or jogging would sure help.
No desserts, no alcohol, no red meat... lots of veggies and rice and fruit. No sugar sodas.
You know the drill!

Depends on how much you weigh, your body fat percentage, and daily activity.
Cut out refined sugar and sugar substitutes. Drink only water. High protein, low carb. Don't eat carbs after 12pm. Veggies and fruit as snacks are good. Veggies keep you fuller longer, though. And no juice or pop.
As far as exercise, do cardio for at least 30 minutes. 45 would be preferable. Do weights for 30 minutes, too, and exercise a different muscle group each day. Bicep curls, kick backs, and tricep extensions are good. Lunges and squats with weights are good, too. Do three reps of 20 to start out and increase as you go on. Also, for abs, you'll have to look up different ways to do crunches. I don't know the names of the ones I do, but there's a bunch of videos on YouTube about it.
Also, have a rest day from exercise. And, no, there's no such thing as a cheat day or meal. That's how you stop weight loss.
You don't need anything special to lose weight. All you need to do is to make a caloric deficit. Which means what you put in should be less than what you burn.
The best way is to get a small kitchen scal. Go download the myfitnesspal app and weigh all your food and log it into the app. The app calculates how many calories you approximately use and burn on a daily basis and gives you a suggestion.
For exercise you could start with brisk walking. Start with half an hour and get to 1 hour daily. You can incorporate jogging as you get fitter.
I did it before but went to extreme of eating nothing with oil in it. Also clean eating, where you eat healthy balance of foods but nothing processed/with added oil in it is known to help, portion control. Exercise videos on you tube in your home can help as well, a lot of them don't require equipment.
First of all you have to change your diet and eat clean and healthy and commit to it. I lost 20lbs in a month by sticking to a plant based diet. I used to be 180 but went down to 160 (I'm 5'9). You also have to get in a good hour of exercise. Running helps burn the fat and lifting weights helps tone your body. follow the 4 week bikini body plan from the body building website. it will help. Also no cheat days. it will slow down your progress.
Try a plant-heavy diet + keeping track of calories. I used to use MyFitnessPal (or something like that) and continued to use it to maintain my weight. Stay clear of dairy as well. Why? Because milk's purpose is to grow an animal as rapidly as possible. Humans don't need breast milk after infancy. Drinking water in between meals is good too.
20 pounds in 1.5 month is a lot. Be happy if you loose 10. You need low intensity cardio, so go running (at least 1 hour), biking (a few hours) or swimming (at least 1/2 hour). You can do this outside a gym. And consume slightly less calories than your daily need.
Just monitor yourself, and get a gym membership and do cardio there
