Diet and fitness plan for losing 20 lbs?

Question by Cheex23: Diet and fitness plan for losing 20 lbs?
Hi. I’m a 19 year old female. I am 5’2 and 160 lbs. I haven’t worked out since I graduated high school 2 years ago. I talked to my Marine Recruiter today and I’ve got to lose 20 pounds to be able to enlist. I don’t know how I should eat or how I should exercise. Does anyone have any tips that could help? I need to burn fat, gain muscle and have energy.

Protein shake for snack around 2-3
Grilled fish or chicken for dinner with green beans

Due to all the exercise you are getting in, 1200 cals is at the lower end of how much you should be eating; try to have 1200 on the days you surf and between 1200 – 1500 on the other days. Also try and drink between 2-3 litres daily.
Do this and you will have an amazing plan to lose weight, especially since your body won’t get bored with all the different exercises.
Good luck x
