Need to drop 20 pounds fast

Up the water intake and eliminate sugar and wheat! not all carbs are bad carbs. I did the whole30 in the fall and lost 16lbs in a month. I'm about to do it again since I didn't exactly maintain what I lost...I fell hard off the bandwagon in the last 2 months

Drink alot of water and start being more active... This will hep you burn the water weight pretty quickly.

Only eat whole foods and make sure you're utilizing portion control. Carbs aren't the devil.

Hey, girl, hey! First and foremost- please don't jump on a fad diet in an attempt to drop weight super fast. That's not healthy, safe, or effective. If you're going to try a particular diet, do your research

Next up, change your mindset (easier said than done, but you're on a time crunch so listen up, buttercup!) When you get stressed out, grab some headphones and hit the pavement instead of opening the fridge. I say this because stress eating doesn't stem from needing nutrients- you need a distraction. Multi-task by walking, jogging, running, sprinting, grapevining, cartwheeling....whatever, just get moving.

If you're interested, look up cardio kickboxing (shadowboxing) videos online. Non-contact, obviously. These are most effective if you give ti your all for 30-45 minutes straight.

Drink water. Also, portion control. It's not easy but you can do it! It's all in your head!

Youtube has great workout videos, you can work out 3x a week for 30 mins to an hour, adjust your meals and also fast. look up intermittent fasting.

Carbs are not the devil. I believe, everything in moderation.

Have you tried counting calories? I can recommend the app Lose It! Very convenient for tracking what you consume and it breaks down nutrients for you, too.

20lbs in 2 months though... it's not going to be healthy whatever way you do it.

Tons of water! Stop drinking soda or beer if you do. I know when my mom stop drinking soda she dropped I think maybe 10 pounds in a month!

1. Throw out any ideas involving low fat / low carb diets because they DO NOT work. Your body needs carbs and healthy fats.

2. Water... lots of it.

3. Cut out as much "bad" sugars like pop, candy, sweets

4. PROTEIN, seriously protein keeps you fuller longer and helps build muscle which is a if not the key component to losing weight. Muscle burns fat so the more muscle you have the better. Which leads me into my next point.

5. Lift weights and stop cardio, while cardio is great lifting weights are actually researched and proven to help you lose weight because you're building more muscle.

6. Try to fit in as much exercise time as possible.

I follow a lot of fitness bloggers on youtube and instragram. My favorite is Elizabeth Zaks you should check her out.

Good luck!

Definitely up the movement but don't expect it to make a big change on it's own. You have to pair it with healthy eating. Try to replace two meals per week with a salad, be sure to keep your protein in there and have your dressing on the side. Dunk your fork in the dressing and then pick up your salad. Such a huge reduction in calories! Cut salt as much as you can and you will lose a lot of water.

Were you able to zip/button your dress all the way?
