How much time does it take to lose 20 pounds?

Answer 1

It really depends on your body type. It takes a few months, but this can be decreased by combining the diet with exercise. At first you lose weight quickly but it generally slows down as you reach your natural or biological weight point. Why? The reason is that your body has a set point, determined by your genetics, so it might be 150, 180 or even 200. You can be + 30 pounds or -30 pounds from this weight point and your body will not do anything. But if you go over or under by 50 pounds, your body goes into a mode where it starts decreasing metabolic or bodily functions in order to preserve metabolic energy. If you go too high.. your metabolic reactions increase and you become more active without noticing it ( moving arms, fidgeting).

So the answer is different for each body type.

Answer 2

It all depends on your intake of calories per day. Now you want to base your diet on about 1500 to 2000 calories a day. Do about an hour of cardio a day, 4-5 days a week, watch your food and you will see results in about a month or 2.
if you work 5 days a week 50 minutes at a time and eat healthy, maybe 4-7 weeks
Healthy weight loss occurs at a rate of 2 to 3 pounds per week, so it should take you between 7 and 10 weeks.
well you can lose it in 1 month if you try really hard it might even take two or three months but just keep trying and you will reach your goal soon enough.
A safe level of weight lossis about a pound a week.
