Good news is because of your current high weight you have a high BMR which means you'll be able to lose weight faster than the average person.

However losing 15lbs in a month is not a healthy goal to set: The basic BMR for an average person if they were to lye in bed all day is 1200 calories - to burn a pound you need to burn off 3500 calories. this is not possible to do in a day unless you were to spend hours at the gym putting a sheer amount of strain on your body
. If you didn't eat for 3 days on end you would lose one pound, if for a week 2.5 pounds at the most - even if you were to not eat for a whole month you could only lose 10 pounds at the most.

This would be extremely dangerous and has a high possibility of refeeding syndrome, which is why I don't recommend it.

The only safe and effective way to achieve your weight loss goals is through creating a calorie deficit - whether that's through working out more at the gym so you can eat more food, or weather is through changing your food choices so that you can get full off of more low calorie foods.

Either way this deficit is the key to weight loss.

It doesn't matter what you do or how you eat as long as you eat with a 1200 calories limit I guarantee you'll lose weight

If you drink sugary drinks or stuff like that, cut it out and drink water instead, and lots of it (not too much, whatever is recommended for your age and weight). That's a good first step. Start a healthy workout routine. DON'T overwork your body, then you'll get injured and have to start all over again. Going for walks regularly every day for an hour-two hours is enough, otherwise 20-30 minutes of cardio.

Fasting. Why 15lb in month? Why such restrictions on losing weight? Why not ask how to reach lala your wanted weight in lifetime? Looking for magic pill hun? School is over, you can't cheat your way through life. Thats why i love it, you can see cheaters taking their shape according to their put in effort. can't ride on other people backs anymore. Hehe. Peace out.

Calories deficit and exercises. Add a 1 hour long walk or jog. and some street training. Nothing too crazy.

Me personally I like to do 5 miles.

Go get a jump rope and do about 5-15 mins.


Cut all grains out and sugar.

Plants fruits lean meats.

DON'T try fad diets. They are not sustainable long term. They can lead to yo-yo dieting.

Change what you eat. Go for low fat products. Avoid fresh fruit juice as it us full of fructose. Look up portion control. Count calories.

Get more exercise like walking, jogging, running, swimming. Aim to be able to walk 2 miles in 30 minutes.
