How much is possible to lose?

[Butterflykiss20]

id like to lose weight within a month and a half so I was thinking of some easy ways

i was thinking of an all jello diet but I now that's not healthy so I was thinking of not eating junk food and using jello as a "junk food" and then eating fruits as a snack (no veggies really cause I've never been a veggie person) then meats that aren't fatty or fried with crap and also a lot of water

i weigh 155 and I would like to lose about 20-25 pounds within this month and a half.

1)would it be possible to lose a majority of that in the time?

or

2)how long do you think a diet like that would take?

or

3)how much do you think I would lose in a month and a half with that diet?

Diet and exercise. Lose 1-2 pounds a week. Otherwise, you're going to have problems.

20 pounds in 6 weeks is dumb. You'll lose water weight and muscle mass. Water weight you'll put right back on. Losing Muscle mass will lower your bodies resting metabolic rate, meaning a return to your normal eating habits will make you fatter, quicker than ever before.

Don't be stupid, for your own sake.

REal weight, not water...you can lose maybe 10 pounds in a month, tops, without risking damaging your health with starvation...and that means you'll feel weak the whole month, and have low energy...possibly pain in your GI tract.. most people advise not trying for more than 5 lbs, not including water weight.

Run. That's the fastest and healthiest way to lose weight. If you're really determined and stick to a healthy meal plan and and run and excersise you can definitely lose the weight.

I've been on the Atkins diet for almost 2 months and have lost about 15 pounds.

You can lose 28 pounds or so safely in that time period. Take vitamins and drink plenty of water-good luck
