Answer 1

If you want to lose the 20 pounds quickly, but easily and healthy, try the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet.  Some of my friends have used this diet and lost weight and have kept it off.  They lost about 12-16 lbs a month.

You don't want to lose weight any quicker than that, because then you probably aren't doing in a healthy way.  Which means, the weight will go right back on.

With Fat Loss 4 Idiots, they show you a new way of eating that maximizes your metabolism.  It is easy to keep the weight off once you reach your weight loss goal.

Answer 2

Go to Weight Watchers -- you will be amazed, as the first 20 lbs come off very easily.

Answer 3

Depends on what your long-term goals are.

If you want to lose weight quick to make a weight requirement, your best option is probably a lot of running and sweating.  Reducing the amount of water in your body is the quickest way to make weight, as a long of athletes in sports with a weigh-in (boxing, MMA, sprint football, etc) do this.

If you want to look good and a keep the weight off, a combination of good cardiovascular activity and weight-lifting (this is the key) is essential.  The cardio you do will keep the weight off, but cardio burns fat along with muscle.  Therefore, you will need to go some anaerobic activity to build up the muscle back up - resulting in a lower percentage of body fat with a greater percentage of muscle.

For the second method, a goal of losing 2-3 pounds is generally accepted as being healthy.  Also, be sure to watch your calorie intake.  You can lose any weight if you're eating more calories than you're burning everyday

Answer 4

Go on a liquid diet, similar to what surgery patients have to do.  Only eat broth, juice, and water for 2 weeks. Take a vitamin to ensure you don't have some type of deficiency.  Guaranteed weight loss.
