I want to drop 20 kg in just two months before my sister's wedding. I'm currently weighing 78 kg, but I really want to be at least 60 kg. Is this an achievable goal? What kind of diet or exercise plan would you recommend to make this happen? I'm a bit worried about whether it's healthy to lose weight so quickly, and I'm unsure about the best way to go about it without compromising my health.

It's important to set realistic goals for healthy weight loss, aiming for about 0.51 kg per week. Losing 20 kg in 2 months may be too rapid, which could affect your health. I recommend a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consulting a nutritionist or doctor to guide you safely toward your goal.

I'm trying to figure out if it's okay to take calcium, iron, B12, and D vitamins with milk in the morning, afternoon, and night. I've heard that taking calcium with milk might reduce its effectiveness. Is that actually true? What do you suggest I do?

You can take calcium, iron, B12, and vitamin D supplements, but consider the following: take calcium supplements with water, as milk can interfere with its absorption; take iron supplements with vitamin C (e.g., orange juice) to enhance absorption, but avoid taking iron with milk or calcium; take vitamin B12 and D supplements with milk or food to enhance absorption; space out your supplements throughout the day to minimize interactions and maximize absorption.
