Weight Training Questions - Can I Lose 20 Pounds In One Month

Weight Training Question:
Would it be possible for me to lose 20 pounds in one month if I start exercising and eating healthy today? I really need to lose this extra weight for my high school reunion and I don't have a long time to get the weight off!

Weight Training Answer:
Its probably "possible" but NOT recommended. By losing this much weight very quickly, you will lose way too much muscle which is your powerhouse tissue and actually helps you burn calories throughout the day. Focus on losing 1-2 pounds per week. This way you can maintain your lean muscle tissue and focus primarily on losing body fat. You will also keep the weight off longer.
