Question:
Has anyone lost 30 pounds in 3 months or less and how did you do it?
REAL answers only PLEASE
Don't BS me and tell me you ate right and exercised. Tell me exactly what you ate because obviously you did something very specific. Also, how much exercise, how intense, how often. How often did you eat, what did you restrict yourself to. What was your overall success--in 3 months and longer. Also what weight did you start at.

I'm not from India, by the way.
Thanks for everyone's answers. I really wondering HOW much calorie restriction I need to do. I mean do I just need to basically cut back to almost nothing or can it be done with a reasonable amount of food. In 6 months with regular exercise and portion control I've only lost 15. I have 100 to go so I'm looking for a more effective method.
looks like i definitely need to amp up the amount of time spent with cardio
Answers:
I lost 20 pounds in about 14 weeks.
Diet
-2 glasses of water on empty stomach
-breakfast 1 boiled egg with 1 low carb bread toast, with a little margarine, sometimes half an english muffin(whole grain), egg was always the constant, on week ends made my self an omelette(onions, tamatoes), without the toast. Probably two or three times in the total 3 months I ate a bran cereal, with very high fiber.
-Lunch Mostly salad with a protien, like chicken or fish
Sometimes I ate hummus, with low carb pita bread and a protien. or low spinach dip with low carb pita
-snack nuts like cashews or almonds, or a low carb yoghurt, and very somtimes an apple
-dinner whole grain bread, or low carb pita bread or roti with a protien curry or baked protien and some cheese
Generally I followed a very low carb routine, I rarely ate white rice or desert, or any sugar for 4 months.
Work out
3-5 miles daily on the treadmill for 6 days
2 times a week stretch yoga
2 times a week weight training
I was very consistent with the cardio workout, I skipped yoga somtimes, but never the cardio.
The low carb diet was very difficuly in the beginning, you will crave carbs like crazy, but do not give up in the first week, that is the hardest. Keep up the cardio, and GOOD LUCK with your diet.
NOTE:always keep a protien bar handy, when you are out of the house, if you are hungry outside you will tend to cheat on the low carb diet, keeping a protien bar with you will help you stay on diet.
