What is the best way to lose 30lbs in 30 days?

what is the best way to lose 30lbs in 30 days?Thank you.

Answer:
the special k diet (cereal) which is just a meal replacement diet.from memory, i'm thinking a bowl of cereal with lowfat milk is ~300 cals per bowl. if you have two bowls a day and a sensible meal, you should be eating about ~1500 cals a day.typically, the average person will "burn" through ~2000 cals per day doing normal movements--moderate exercise, moving around, etc...(hence, the recommended 2000cal daily value since this amount of eating should maintain your weight).so with your meal replacement, you're down 500 cals per day, times 7 days for the week and you'll lose "one pound per week" with meal replacement.to "enhance" your weight loss, you should be exercising...and we'll consider 100 cals per 15 minutes of moderately-paced walking. if you walk for an hour a day, thats 400 cals your down...per week, that would be about another pound you've lost--so total, 2lbs per week.i believe most dieticians don't recommend losing more than 2lbs per week, as rapid weight loss tends not to be "permanent" weight loss (eg. yo-yo dieting).
and you also have to keep in mind, more exercising will increase your muscle mass and reduce your fat mass--muscle is more dense than fat (one pound of muscle will 'take up less space' than one pound of fat), so you will look slimmer but may weigh heavier.so, my opinion...i don't completely rely on the scale to gauge "weight loss" it's better to go with overall body measurements to "see" if you're "loosing weight"
GOOD LUCK...
The best way is to realize that it is impossible and set a realistic goal
It would be pretty hard to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. That's a pound a day and to do that you would need to burn 3600 calories more than you are taking in. Since the average person needs 2000 calories per day just to exist, if you ate only 1200 calories a day you would need to burn an additional 2800 calories per day to lose one pound. Considering you burn about 900 calories an hour on the elliptical, you would need to work out at your maximum heart rate for over 3 hours per day. And even that probably wouldn't be too healthy.
