How Do You Lose 20 Pounds In 5 Weeks?
You need to burn or reduce by an additional 70000 calories more than you are allowed to eat to accomplish this. If you are female figure your weight right now multipled by 13 calories per pound. For example, if you are 150 pounds then you can eat 1950 calories per day to maintain that weight. You could reduce that by 600 calories per day, which would give you a loss of 6 pounds by itself, and then figure out how to burn off another 1400 calories per day by additional activity. For example if trampoline jumping burns 700 calories per hour, do two hours per day in addition to your reduction in calories. I know this is obvious, but it really is the only way to do it – one way or another you have to burn way more calories than you eat. Don’t forget to drink tons of water, too. Good luck!
Twenty pounds in five weeks is a little too brisk. Here are some aggressive but realistic suggestions from my 360 Blog September 10. Don’t target losing more than about 2 lbs per week.

Given your height, I wouldn’t have said that losing much more than 20 pounds would be healthy anyway. I’m three inches shorter than you, weigh 130 pounds and wear size 8-10 clothes. The difference, possibly, is that I’m very fit so a lot of my weight is muscle. Muscle weighs heavy but looks good because all the ‘saggy’ bits become toned and tight hence the loss of dress size rather than scale weight.

If you are fit, you won’t only look slim but your skin will be better, your hair will be glossier, you will be healther etc… Don’t look at this as a short term diet but as a way of changing your life for
