How to Lose 20 Pounds of Fat in a Month (or Less)

Want to lose 20 pounds of body fat in a month or less? It's really not that hard to do. Here are the basic steps:

1. Avoid all "white" foods and processed carbs. These include all refined sugars and flours as well as white potatoes, white rice, etc.

2. Eat healthy meals and snacks several times per day. Your diet should be based around lean proteins (meats, fish, eggs, etc.), vegetables, beans/legumes, and good fats from nuts/seeds, olive oil, etc. Eat 4-6 times per day and be sure to include protein in every meal.

3. Drink only water and other calorie-free beverages, such as teas, diet sodas, etc.

4. Have one cheat day per week. Eat pretty much whatever you want on this day. This will help to stave off the boredom of dieting as well as throw a curveball at your metabolism, keeping it from slowing down.

5. Exercise 2-5 time per week. Do both strength training and cardio exercise to burn fat and build -- or at least maintain -- important muscle tissue (and a healthy metabolism!).
