To Lose 20 Pounds With a Calorie Deficit<\/h2>\n<p>Some simple lifestyle changes help create a calorie deficit, which means you burn more calories than you eat for effective weight loss.

Giving up 3 sugary drinks, such as 3 cans of soda, 3 glasses of lemonade, or 3 large glasses of juice, helps you reduce your energy intake by about <strong>500 calories<\/strong> daily, so you can drop about 1 pound per week!<\/p>\n<h3>Do Cardiovascular Exercise for 45 Minutes Daily<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3630467\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Studies<\/a> show that adding <strong>45 minutes <\/strong>of cardiovascular exercise (jogging, biking, swimming, using the elliptical machine, etc.) to each day is effective for weight loss, even if you\u2019re not dieting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1659\" src=\"https:\/\/fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/stock-image-179564088-s-2015.jpg\" alt=\"two women running diet plan for women over 40\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/stock-image-179564088-s-2015.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/stock-image-179564088-s-2015-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>Why?

There are numerous ways to burn additional calories throughout the day by increasing activities of daily living. Below are examples of such activities and the number of calories you\u2019ll burn in 30 minutes doing them if you weigh 155 pounds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooking: 93 calories<\/li>\n<li>Dancing: 112 calories<\/li>\n<li>Grocery shopping: 130 calories<\/li>\n<li>Raking the lawn: 149 calories<\/li>\n<li>Coaching sports: 149 calories<\/li>\n<li>Curling: 149 calories<\/li>\n<li>Horseback riding: 149 calories<\/li>\n<li>Walking the dog at a pace of 3.5 miles per hour: 149 calories<\/li>\n<li>Playing with your kids: 149 -186 calories<\/li>\n<li>Heavy house cleaning: 167 calories<\/li>\n<li>Playing badminton: 167 calories<\/li>\n<li>Painting the house: 167 -186 calories<\/li>\n<li>Weeding the garden: 172 calories<\/li>\n<li>Kayaking: 186 calories<\/li>\n<li>Mowing the lawn with a push mower: 205 calories<\/li>\n<li>Golfing and carrying your clubs: 205 calories<\/li>\n<li>Shoveling snow: 223 calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Give Up Fried Foods<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re like many Americans, fried foods find their way into your diet somehow \u2013 at least every now and then.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1734\" src=\"https:\/\/fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/stock-image-52890113-s-2015.jpg\" alt=\"how to lose 20 pounds\" width=\"350\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/stock-image-52890113-s-2015.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/stock-image-52890113-s-2015-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But eliminating these high-calorie foods might be all it takes to drop 1-2 pounds per week for a 20-pound weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of fried foods and the calories they provide are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A large order of fast food French fries: 510 calories<\/li>\n<li>4 extra crispy chicken tenders: 540 calories<\/li>\n<li>6 mozzarella sticks: 540 calories<\/li>\n<li>6 large deep-fried shrimp: 420 calories<\/li>\n<li>A regular order of fried cheese curds: 510 calories<\/li>\n<li>A large order of fried cheese curds: 1,020 calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because fried foods are high in calories, it\u2019s easy to see why eliminating them from your diet is a simple way to get excess weight off and keep it off.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, choose grilled options or foods baked with olive oil.<\/p>\n<h3>Lift Weights Regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Lifting weights might not cause weight loss initially because muscle weighs more than fat. However, adding weightlifting to your regular routine helps keep lost weight off because muscle helps your body burn extra calories throughout the day, even when resting!<\/p>\n<p>A 155-pound person expends about <strong>223 calories in just 30 minutes<\/strong> of weightlifting at a high intensity.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to lift heavy weights to gain muscle definition and increase your body\u2019s calorie expenditure. Complete 3-6 sets of 10-25 repetitions for each exercise. Try the following resistance exercises if you're wondering how to lose 20 pounds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/t1iaVBMItPo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chest press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8jJnc6hjtnA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kettlebell squats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qQyCK_rxzN0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dumbbell lunges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vRKDvt695pg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadlifts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QkCTUKrOWJM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kettlebell swings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9V9csctSKj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russian twists<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XE_pHwbst04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biceps curls<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/muTfQlepBHI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Triceps extensions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oaQEq2PY7n8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shoulder press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/G1akmeQRM_E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pull-ups<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hwBu73GZn98\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rear-delt flys<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D-3JnFrFUOw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Front raises<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KCMF8w7rs70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lateral raises<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DlcI-MK6jAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calf raises<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/te1rv8hxg-k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renegade rows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0tzBVqiDwSs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lying leg raises<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have weights at home, no problem!
