How much time will it take to lose 20 pounds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on rate of: loss. Normally recommend that loss be no faster than 2 pounds a week on average. At that rate it would take 2 1/2 months. If you lose it over 20 weeks - that would be even better. Sometimes faster is not better.
