lose 20 pounds fast?
I need to lose 20 pounds, but exercise, diet, and diet pills have not worked. I want to stop eating until I lose the weight. Does anyone have tricks to keep from being miserable while not eating? Or do you just adjust to it? Any tips would be useful? Should I eat celery and water until the weight is lost?
Do not stop eating. It can kill you or cause malnutrition. Losing weight is hard and it takes time and effort. What is your diet? Try to eat a healthy, low-fat diet of about 1500 calories. Avoid junk food and fast food. If you like sweets, eat fruit, they are loaded with sugar and are low in calories and high in nutrients.
What exercises do you do? Getting up from the couch to go to the bathroom or get more junk food does NOT count as exercise. Try to get about an hour of exercise everyday. Vary your exercise between cardio exercises such as running with weight lifting. Try to burn off about 500 calories everyday. Also, try to get 10000 steps a day walking.
Diet pills do not work. Avoid them. They can cause damage to your body. Try to make permanent lifestyle changes, don't focus on losing the weight. If you follow the above plan, you will easily lose 1-2 pounds a week. It will take you 10-20 weeks to lose the weight. However, by permanently altering your lifestyle, you won't regain the weight.
Once you have lost the desired weight, keep exercising for an hour every day, but increase your calories to 2000 to 2200. Keep eating a healthy and balanced diet. Treat junk food and fast food as a rare treat, not a common, everyday food. After you adapt to eating a lot of fruit and vegitables, other food won't taste as good. Your body knows what is good for it and eventually you will learn to like living a healthy lifestyle. Your health and possible life span will also increase.
Good luck 
20 pounds is a lot of weight. There is no fast way to lose it.
Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

It stll amazes me that people are still so ignorant when it comes to weight issues. If you stop eating, your metabolism will slow down considerably. Go to a dietician and a therapist
