Losing 20 lbs in a month?

[Anonymous]

I need to lose some weight of just excess stomach fat. I am 6'2" -210 and want to get down to at least 190 in the next month. however, I also want to build some muscle mass (I really only have to weigh 195). Anybody have any tips for me?

I already am quite strong and plan to lift about 4-5 times a week. current max on bench is 245 and squat is 325. I was planning on doing a lot of core exercises like push-ups, bear crawls and other body weight exercises on days I don't lift. I was going to walk about 3 miles a day everyday to help and do inclined sprints to keep in shape.

Diet is probably going to be the hardest for me, but I am going to try and cut out as much carbs and crap food as possible.

Otherwise I was thinking about doing kickboxing aerobics to keep in shape and lose some weight.

Anybody have anything to help?

not really possible, well it would be if you starve yourself. but that's not a healthy way at all. 20 pds in a month is unrealistic. a healthy lifestyle is the key to living a healthy life and maintaining a healthy weight. change your diet and exercise routines. 8 pds a month is more realistic. people that are morbidly obese can usually lose more in a week a lot to do with fluid loss. a lot of liquid weight to morbidly obese. bottom line there are no shortcuts, keep up a healthy lifestyle or don't be surprised to be obese all your life

Sometimes weight and charts aren't correct to someones body type. I have basically no fat on me and I work out daily for 90 minutes to 120 minutes, but I am "obese" according to scales. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat too. I would recommend drinking 12-16 glasses of water a day, using a multi-vitamin and eating 6 small meals per day. Good luck!

Lol @ "muscle weighs more than fat"

It does. As I said I have a ridiculous amount of muscle yet am "obese" on the chart.

Do cardio to burn fat, and lift weighs to build muscle. Don't deprive yourself of your favorite foods; just have them less often. And don't put too much pressure on yourself. The only time I ever lost weight that fast was when I got sick and didn't eat for a week. Make sure to stay healthy.

"Insanity workout" at least 5 times a week. It is a serious workout. You will notice changes within that week. And drink LOTS of water ! Watch all the fatty foods that you eat.

That's impossible. Keep track of your calories and maybe you'll lose 2 lbs a week. Cause the key is energy in < energy out.

Cut out soda and sugar, don't eat close to bedtime, stay away from carbs (no matter what everyone says) and exercise (cardio mostly) 2 times a day 6 days a week.

Go to a gym, and hire a personal trainer.
