Need to lose weight fast

I am currently in the army and am 20 pounds over my weight limit. I have approximately one month to lose it. If you could please throw some helpful things my way, that would be very appreciated.

Sorry for the urgency to lose weight. This is not a good idea: You’ll lose valuable muscle mass and invaluable energy.

You’ll seriously jeopardize your system’s health and efficiency, compromise your mental and emotional health and you might go to hell (just kidding there, I think).

All you can do is lower your calorie intake, keeping it high in animal protein, moderate in quality complex carbs and good fats.

To lose 20 pounds in a month, you’d have to remove or burn more than 2,000 calories from your daily diet in a combination of diet and exercise, a pretty tall order.

Carry on your daily activities and add sufficient (not excessive) cardio and weight-resistant exercise. Supplement with quality vitamins and minerals daily and hit the Bomber Blend.

Don’t starve yourself. No secret ingredients or secret methodology.

Be wise, be strong, be positive… Dave
