How long will it take a teenager to loose 20 lbs?

I'm overweight by 20 lbs and I want to look good. I think its more about self confidence.. I would feel better if I was 20 lbs lighter.. So If I try to do work outs and eat healthy (compleatly ditching junk food and fast food, eating fruits and veggies, salads, with an acception of small candy once and a while).. How long do you think it would take to loose those 20 lbs.? I think that I'm ready to get myself together and do this. Thanks !! x x x

Recommended Answer:

Never diet, many people think that eating salad and nothing will make you lose weight safe but they are wrong. You have to eat your 2000 calorie diet but you have to be careful about want you eat. Avoid junk food because it contains lots of fats. Instead of that eat good protein like chicken and healthy food. Protein can be burned so fast and it feeds you with a lot of proteins and vitamins that your body needs

• Just as long as it will take a child, adult, and senior.
• Setting goals is good but in all honesty if you exercise and eat healthy your body will take care of itself. Good luck
• Well the most a person usually looses in a week is 5 pounds. So with that said 4 weeks. But that's best case scenario. If you half a** your work outs and don't eat well (MAKE SURE U DRINK A LOT OF WATER) then it could take months! I'm trying to lose weight too at the moment. I've lost about 4 this week and I've cut my calorie intake a lot. I'm not eating nearly as much as I used to plus I've been going to the gym. Anyways good luck!!!
• I believe an average weight loss plan makes you lose about 2 pounds a week which is 2 months and 2 weeks for you however there are many other factors involved. The best thing to do is to stay stress free confident and get a good sleep while you do this.Good luck!
• It's not about the weight. You're not a jockey. Just eat healthy and exercise, and within weeks you look and feel better. Don't step on the scale. It's not important.
• You can lose 20 lbs in 2 months.For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise. Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm The natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.
