I'm 17 years old. I'm 5"3 and 140lbs. I've been exercising for 3 days straight so far. I plan to exercise and eat healthy forever, but I want to do a bit of dieting right now to get into shape as quick as possible. I want to lose 20lbs in a month.

If I use the treadmill at least 5 days a week. I exercise over 60 minutes with a speed of 3.2 - 3.7mph. I also do 100 crunches after my treadmill exercise along with squats.

Here's my typical meal plan:
Breakfast - fruits, milk, biscotti
Lunch - salad w/ a bit of dressing, milk
Dinner - meat (steak, beef, etc. in small quantities) w/ white carbs

I'm thinking of doing the cabbage soup crash diet (7 days) only once so I could lose weight faster. I know it's unhealthy, but I want to lose weight ASAP. Could I do this diet along with exercising for 60mins on the treadmill or would I really overdo myself? After I do the cabbage soup crash diet, would I gain all lost pounds and additional pounds even though I start eating healthy (ex. my typical meal plan) and continue to use the treadmill?

I'll also be consuming ice cream (1 scoop) and/or french fries (less than 20 pieces) in moderation.

By doing this, I think I'll benefit more than I would be at a disadvantage. I'll have self-control, be active, be healthy and learn how to manage properly.

the cabbage soup itself is healthier than some items on your typical meal plan :smile: but as you have highlighted yourself, crash dieting has its downsides (What It Takes to Lose It All)

I found a fascinating book about crash dieting that does the topic more service than I could.
