I am about 5'4 and I probably weight about 140-145 (my mother lost our scale) and i want to lose 20 pounds

I'm 18. I am about 5'4 and I probably weight about 140-145 (my mother lost our scale) and i want to lose 20 pounds in about a month and a half. If I walk 2 miles a day and eat very low cal stuff, and drink only water can this happen?

If you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day your metabolism will speed up. I do it all the time when i want to lose some weight and it works. So eat like every 2 and half to 3 hours apart in small healthy portions and excersise. Drink lots of water too. Within a week of doing that I could see myself losing weight. Not by scale because i was gaining muscle from excersising, but by inches.

Also to tell if you are losing fat and not just water weight and muscle mass, there are these test strips that i had found at walmart supercenter that you use to see if your body if burning the fat stored on you and not just the food you are consuming. They test for ketones in the urine which are the byproducts of fats that you store. You either pee in a cup and test that way or just pee on it. Just follow the instructions. there is a chart that you match up on the tube. If the color is different than the control then you are burning the fat stored.

I ran tests and took one strip before i started doing that 3 hour eating program and excersise and the color on the strip wasn't any different than the control. I did it three different times each on different days to make sure it wasn't the strips. Then i started on the program and after two days i took another test and the color changed. It was a very light change in color though. After two more days of the program i took another test and it was darker than the previous one, etc and more of the color that represents ketones in the urine. I too could feel and see a difference on my body as well so i knew that it was working and always works everytime i follow that program.

Its very motivating too, to see that you are burning the fat stored and feel your clothes fitting differently too. Your metabolism wiil speed up because the body knows that it is getting food without going hungry for a long period of time and since it uses energy to digest the food you eat then at 3 hour intervals its constantly getting what it needs and keeps everything working more effeciently.

If you don't eat or starve yourself, your metabolism will slow down because your body will go into survival mode, where it slows down to keep what you eat longer and yes you might lose some weight at first but when you go back to eating normally again, you'll gain it right back and more because your metabolism has changed to a slower mode.Any ?'s, you can contact me.Hope this helps. good luck!
