6 Things You Must Do To Lose 20 pounds in 3 - 4 Weeks

1. You need to Eat 4 times a day 3-4 hours apart

Why eating 4 times a day helps you lose weight fast...
  • Eating 4 smaller meals a day gives you a higher metabolism which means... You'll lose more weight and...
  • Eating 4 times a day keeps you from not getting hungry which  means... You won't overeat and gain weight.

2. Before each meal you need to....

Why doing this helps you lose weight fast...
  • Your body has to burn a lot of calories (burn lots of FAT) to digest all the raw fruits & vegetables you eat and since you're eating them 4 times a day... You're going to lose weight fast.
  • Eating raw fruits & veggies (not cooked or steamed) will help you lose weight fast. FACT: Farmers feed pigs steamed or cooked veggies to fatten them up because they know raw veggies will slim them down.
  • Eating raw fruits & veggies, drinking whey or soy protein & ice cold water means... You'll never get hungry, never have any cravings or a big appetite so... You'll eat less and lose more weight faster.
  • Raw fruits & veggies remove toxins from your blood and once these toxins are gone... The enzymes in the raw fruits & veggies liquefy and flush fat out of your body.
  • Make sure you AVOID fruit juices, dried fruit & canned fruit with sugar added.

3. After you eat your fruits & veggies and drink your protein...

Depending on how hungry you are (based on scale of 1-to-10 with 1 being satisfied and 10 being real hungry) you're going to eat 0-to-300 more calories of these kinds of weight loss foods and you're going to avoid these bad foods so...
Why doing this helps you lose weight fast...
  • Eating less will help you lose weight fast but don't Worry about getting hungry because...
  • When you eat fruits & veggies and protein before all of your 4 meals... This will make you feel not that hungry or not hungry at all and...
  • The reason why you need to stay away from candy & fast foods is because these foods make you hungry and make you gain weight faster
  • .

4. You need to drink 70 ounces of ice cold water everyday

Why drinking ice cold water helps you lose weight faster...
  • Ice cold water raises your metabolism. The colder the water is - The more weight you'll lose because... Your body has to keep burning calories (or keep burning fat) to heat the cold water back up to body temperature.

5. Use a fat burner like Wu-Yi Tea or Enhanced Green Tea to also help you lose weight faster.

It's best to take your fat burner in the morning 30 minutes before your first meal or right before your morning workout and... Then take your fat burners again in the evening.

6. Do 1 of the weight loss workouts below at least 3-to-4 times a week...

You can do 1 of these 3 weight loss workouts...
  1. Do the weight loss workout from the 'Lose last 10 pounds plan'
    Advanced (& probably toughest) weight loss workout but... Best for fastest results.
  2. Do the weight loss workout from the 'How to Lose 50 pounds plan'
    This is a good moderate-to-High intensity workout for any fitness level but... It's also good for fast weight loss results.
  3. Do phases 3-to-7 of this weight loss workout plan
    Best for lower fitness levels or beginners.
Weight Loss Workout Tips...
  • Workout in the morning to burn more fat
  • Make sure that each week (or even daily) that you either add more time to your workout and/or increase the intensity or your workouts so your body doesn't get used to the workouts you're doing so you'll keep losing weight fast and better yet...
  • Try a completely different workout weekly to give your body new things it doesn't expect so you can keep losing weight faster and...
  • If you don't have time to workout - Do 3-to-5 smaller 10 minute workouts during the day to help you lose weight fast and...
  • If you hate to exercise and still want to lose weight fast - then you need to eat more high protein foods and/or more fruits & veggies in your 0-to-300 calorie meals.

An Example of What You'll Be Doing Everyday To Lose 20 pounds...

At 7:30am 
You're going to wake up and take some fat burners and then after that... You're going either wait 30 minutes and eat breakfast or the best thing you can do after taking your fat burners is to go do one of these weight loss workouts and then at...

8:00am (Breakfast - or whenever you finish your morning workout)
You're going to eat at least 2 whole raw fruits and/or veggies and you're going to drink one scoop of whey protein or Soy protein mixed in water and right after that...

Depending on how hungry you are (see the hunger scale again) you're going to eat a 0-300 calorie breakfast. Then about 4 hours later at...

12:00pm (Lunch):
You're going to have 2 more raw fruits and/or veggies, another scoop of whey protein or Soy protein mixed in water followed by a 0-300 calorie lunch and then around....

3:30pm (Snack):
You're going to have a 0-300 calorie mid-afternoon snack but before you do... you're going to eat 2 whole raw fruits and/or veggies plus your 1 scoop of whey protein or Soy protein mixed in water and Then around...

6-6:30pm (30 minutes before Dinner)
You're going to take another fat burner pill and 30 minutes after you take your fat burner pill at...

6:30 -7pm: (Dinner)
You're going to eat a 0-300 calorie dinner, but right before dinner you're going to eat your raw fruits and/or veggies and one scoop of whey protein or Soy protein mixed in water and here's some...

How much weight will I lose doing all of this?

The amount of weight you lose doing this plan mainly depends on how overweight you are so basically... The more overweight you = the more weight you'll lose in 3-to-4 weeks on this plan and a good rule of thumb to follow is this...

Best strategy for you is...

Lose weight first and get big butt second.

Don't do master cleanse and don't be in a rush to lose weight.

GO on this weight loss plan here

It seems like you're trying to lose weight and keep it off forever - RIGHT?

so don't do master cleanse because all you'll do is gain the weight right back

If you want to workout everyday - do this workout plan here that includes the fast weight loss workouts

#993
Hi,

I just want to know about what your website instructed us to do the fast weight loss workout #1 only 3 to 4 times a week. Can I do more than 3 to 4 times a week because I'm in a hurry to lose weight. I want to do the fast weight loss workout everyday. Why can we do this exercise only 3 to 4 times a week? Will doing the exercise everyday harm our body? I just want to know.

Thanx,

Sandi B.,

You're on the right track and for your off weeks...

Make sure you look at how to cheat and still lose weight

#991

Hi Adrian,

I finally got myself and my girlfriend motivated to lose weight! We are both 24, I'm 5'5" and 260#, She's 5'8" 280#. We started your 20# in 3-4 weeks plan 2 days ago and I just wanted to make sure we are doing everything right.
We both work night shift so it was tricky to make a time table so I'll just run through our day with you.
6pm- we wake up take a green tea suplement (just a regular one)
6:30-7pm- We do a moderate-high intensity work out usually what ever is on 'on demand' eg. Jillian from biggest loser's 30 shred, p90x, etc.
7pm- We drink our whey protein (yuk! ha ha)eat two raw fruits or veggies and a small meal 100-300 calories.
11pm- As soon as we get to work we drink the whey, eat our fruit and veggies and eat a small meal if we are hugry.
2am- Take our green tea sup., and repeat the steps above.
5am- whey, F&Vs, meal
7:30am-8am- When we get home we do a Low itensity workout, usually yoga, or 'walking in your home, or tai-chi.
8am-Bed time

In your opinon are we on the right track? If not what would you recomend? I was hoping to do this program until I lost at least 60# by cycling off and on, eg. 3 weeks on, 1 week off. 4weeks on, 2 weeks off, 4 weeks on, 1 weeks off, 3 weeks on 2 weeks off. on the off weeks the only thing that would change is the whey, the raw veggies, and we would gradually raise the calories/day but the meal times would stay consistant and of course we couldn't pig out on junk food. Would that work?
Sorry this is so long!
THANK YOU and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Henrene B.

As for protein -look at #2 again & read carefully - You don't have to use just protein shakes - you eat protein foods also and YES...

You can mix your fruit in your protein shakes but try to eat some raw veggies as well

#989

Hello,

I regards to the Whey and Soy Protien Drinks; can any type of protien drink be consumed? If Whey and Soy are not to my liking as long as I drink a protien drink with water only can this substitute? Also, can my fruit be mixed in the protein drink instead of eating it raw? Thank you so much

Hi! I am a 53 year old female that has absolutely no motivation to exercise. I am about 50 lbs over weight and because of depression and low self esteem issues, I feel very ashamed of myself for looking the way I do. I want so desperately to lose weight but feel it is impossible at my age! People have always said I look like I'm actually in my 30's. I would love to look in the mirror and see what they see, but I can't! Please, please help me!!!!

Hi Adrian

First let me say that I'm extremely EXCITED to have found you.

Ok, Here is my QUESTION!

I am Disabled, I've been in a wheelchair for over 20 years because of a stupid car jack. I have Excellent upper strength, My arms are perfect. I'm just dead weight I guess you can say from the chest and below. (T8 section) spinal cord injury. I'm going to be 43 and I'm am obese, My weight is at about 280 and all around the belly.

I see a lot of treadmills and I wish I could run on them but because I'm on this wheelchair Can't do.

Do you think I can do this diet that you explain in your 6 steps???

I know that I have to eat 3 t0 4 times per day to speed up my metabolism, but also my concern is How can I do exercises? Dumbbells? I do want to build Muscle too, Won't I get flabby around my stomach?

Do you think you can help me out, tell me what should I do?



Thank you so much!

Jane,

for this fast weight loss plan here...

All you need to worry about is RULE #3 for calorie intake which says...

"Depending on how hungry you are (based on scale of 1-to-10 with 1 being satisfied and 10 being real hungry) you're going to eat 0-to-300 more calories of these kinds of weight loss foods and you're going to avoid these bad foods"

So read Rule #3 or number 3 again because since this is an emergency weight loss plan...

You're not really eating the same BASE amount of calories everyday - you're just eating based on how hungry you are.

#983
Thanks so much for your help. I'm also wondering what my max. cal intake in food should be for each day in order to stick to this diet as my main action to lose some weight? How can I figure that out?

Jane | 12.21.08 - 1:02 am
#982

k. kumar mali,

You don't have to use whey or soy - You can eat other protein foods instead if you wish and...

Weight loss drugs or pills really aren't neccessary if you're overweight because overweight people lose weight easily anyway and...

The best exercises are weight loss intervals or other High intentsity exercises

#981
i hope you remember me from yesterday what i want to know is how essentials it is to use soy or whey protein or is their alternatives to these what about boiled chicken etc. another question is about drugs wut do u think regarding using subutramin or orlestat. wut exercise would u recommend to be with the greatest effect.i hav many other questions too but i do appreciate ur time and i really bcumin ur fan

Jane,

You may be able to lose your first 10-to-15 pounds fast on this plan here but

You'll need to get active to lose your last 10 pounds and as you lose weight - you'll lose fat off your thighs, bum and stomach and...

You can still go here to tone up most of your body even though your leg is broken but...

Since diet may be your main weapon instead of being active because of a broken leg - you may want to adopt a higher protein + raw vegetable thermogenic type of a diet where at least half or 3/4 of your meals are mostly protein (meat, nuts, shakes, beans, etc) and veggies and a few meals with protein, complex carbs, and veggies.

See all the weight loss foods here

#979
I'm 22, 5"4 and 155 lbs. I need to lose 25 lbs by the end of January. I have a broken foot and have been less active in a walking cast, and am less hungry and find it hard to eat more than two meals a day. Please help me with how I can lose this weight in time. I also need to lose specifically on my thighs, bum and stomach and tone up.

Alexandra,

try to exercise or be active as much as you can without stressing your knees too much so...

you can try things like riding a bike or even a bike where you just use your arms (like a Pro-2 from Sci-Fit) and...

What about the elliptical? - that's a non-impact machine that puts no stress on your knee and...

Look at fast weight loss tip #1 - can you at least do a lot of mini 10 minute INTENSE workouts during the day?

Look at this weight loss plan here for losing a lot of weight permanently and remember...

It's not that you have to exercise - you just have to find ways to be more active and the more active you are along with eating right = the faster you'll lose weight

Hello,
Im 20, 5’7”, and I weigh about 180. About 5 months ago, I had surgery on my right knee and even though I can do some exercises, after about a half hour its hard to even stand up. I would like to lose about 40lbs before March. Is there a way to lose that amount of weight by then without exercising too much? Are there exercises that I could do that wouldn’t cause too much stress on my knee?
Thank you for your help.

I feel really big for my size and need to lose weight.

Hello Adrian, Thank you for this informative site, you are really changing peoples lives. I am a 38 year old women, this is the largest I have ever been. I have no health problems because I at least try to stay active. I wish to lose at least 50 pounds and become leaner. I have a new gym membership, I use my taebo tapes. I feel I am getting bulkier, what am I doing wrong? What should I eat? I do have whey protein. What exercises should I do to get leaner. My arms are really bulky. I want to tone my whole body. My true concern is not for vanity, I wish to maintain good health. As I understand maintaining a healthy weight will benefit good health at any age. Thank You Adrian

do this exercise for bigger triceps and do this for bigger biceps

Well triceps or biceps would be best for me to be working right now I would think since i have a fractured ankle at the moment and to see results on my abs or chest i would need to lose a bit of weight first.

Luke | 12.04.08 - 4:37 pm

Luke,

How about this...

Tell me which muscles you would like to see quick results for and I see if I have a workout for it that will give you quick results

Hi Adrian,

I have tried to get in shape many times and I always seem to give up because i do not see any results even though i know it takes a while to see any. I was just wondering what exercise or muscle will show the quickest result and how long does it usually take, because i think if i see some results I will not give up so easy.

Thanks for your time.
