How to Lose Weight in One Month

Set a goal. Setting a realistic weight or health goal is a great start to your weight loss plan. It will give you something to track and work towards over the course of a month.

• Think about how much weight you want to lose, what time frame and other health or wellness goals. Set a goal for how much weight and what target weight you'd like to get to within a month.
• A healthy rate is generally considered 1 to 2 pounds a week. So what does this mean? Generally, you can lose up to 4 to 8 pounds in a month. Setting a goal to lose more than this amount is generally not realistic.
• You may also want to set goals about exercise or lifestyle factors. For example, you might set a goal of working out three days a week for 30 minutes. This is a great health-based goal but will also support your weight loss.
• Remember, dramatic weight loss is risky and often ineffective; the faster you lose weight, the easier you can gain it back. Only real lifestyle changes can give you effective results. “Fad diets”, such as diet pills or liquid cleanses may help you lose water weight, but most work by essentially starving you.
