honestly, i lost 20 lbs. SAFELY over the course of about 1 month and 1/2, just by drinkin ONLY water, and eating smaller portions. eat whatever you want, just eat half the amount you usually do, youll see a big change. oh, and try to have sex(correction...fuckin like rabbits) at least twice a day. it burns calories, good aerobics, and its kinda fun too lol
