Answer:
that all depends on your current size, including height and weight. you also need realistic goals, and you need to be doing it for the right reasons. 9 times out of 10, cosmetic is NOT the right reasons. I cant give you real advice, until I know what it is you have to work with (your body size).

If you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day your metabolism will speed up. I do it all the time when i want to lose some weight and it works. So eat like every 2 and half to 3 hours apart in small healthy portions and excersise. Drink lots of water too.
Do some cardio like running, aerobics, swimming,or even dancing or anything that you like to do that will get your heart going for whatever duration you can tolerate. Do some target excersises using light weights or you can use the machines they have at the gym. Just start slow and make sure you always stretch before doing any kind of exercise. Cardio goes first then right after target exercises with weights. Within a week of doing that I could see myself losing weight. Not by scale because i was gaining muscle from excersising, but by inches. Also to tell if you are losing fat and not just water weight and muscle mass, there are these test strips that i had found at walmart supercenter that you use to see if your body if burning the fat stored on you and not just the food you are consuming. They test for ketones in the urine which are the byproducts of fats that you store. You either pee in a cup and test that way or just pee on it. Just follow the instructions. there is a chart that you match up on the tube. If the color is different than the control then you are burning the fat stored. I ran tests and took one strip before i started doing that 3 hour eating program and excersise and the color on the strip wasn't any different than the control. I did it three different times each on different days to make sure it wasn't the strips. Then i started on the program and after two days i took another test and the color changed. It was a very light change in color though. After two more days of the program i took another test and it was darker than the previous one, etc and more of the color that represents ketones in the urine. I too could feel and see a difference on my body as well so i knew that it was working and always works everytime i follow that program. Its very motivating too, to see that you are burning the fat stored and feel your clothes fitting differently too. Your metabolism wiil speed up because the body knows that it is getting food without going hungry for a long period of time and since it uses energy to digest the food you eat then at 3 hour intervals its constantly getting what it needs and keeps everything working more effeciently. If you don't eat or starve yourself, your metabolism will slow down because your body will go into survival mode, where it slows down to keep what you eat longer and yes you might lose some weight at first but when you go back to eating normally again, you'll gain it right back and more because your metabolism has changed to a slower mode.Any ?'s, you can contact me.Hope this helps. good luck!

30 pounds would take a month if u work hard

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurities come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://diet4cleansing.com
