DO YOU THINK I CAN LOSE 20-30 POUNDS IN 6 WEEKS?
I joined a new gym in June and have been pretty good about working out. My goal is to lose 50 pounds in all, but I'd like to lose some weight and tone up a good bit before mid-September because I'm going to the beach and would like to look decent in a one-piece bathing suit. Do you think it's possible to lose at least 20 pounds before then and what do you think I'd need to do besides working out at least 4-5 times per week? I know that cutting out fat & sugar would help and eating fresh fruits and veggies is good. I'm also drinking a protein shake every day that contains a little bit of 1% milk, soy protein powder, strawberries, and one banana. I read an article that stated that it's ok to have 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter daily, so when I drink the protein shake as a meal replacement, I do add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the shake. Can you think of anything else I need to be doing to reach my goal? Btw, my work-out consists of weight training and 40-45 minutes of cardio each time. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I lost 20 pounds in two weeks once. It's not healthy though so I can't recommend it. It was setup for me by Mr. Utah (body builder) who was my fitness trainer for awhile. No carbs, high protein. The only thing resembling a carb I could eat was lettuce, green beans, and broccoli. The rest was all meat no sauces. You can use light seasoning though. No fruit and no bread products. Then once a week eat whatever you want for one meal and then start the diet up again. This shocks your metabolism so you don't plateau. Then work out like crazy. Drink lots of water to flush (so you don't get constipated with all the protein). Ultimately though, this isn't healthy and you will feel lethargic so make sure you take good supplements if you decide to do it anyway. I would suggest XTend Life supplements.
