    Check out the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. http://www.fatlossforidiotsplan.com/

    No calorie counting, no point counting and no diet pills.

    Most people lose about 4-6 lbs every 11 days. Losing 30 pounds by July 17th is a lot of weight in a short time. The main thing is just to start on a diet and stay on it. Don't start, they stop, then start, then stop.

    The goal is a little extreme but good for you on not wanting to go the quick fix route (doesn't work). A healthy lifestyle change is the only way to make a change for the better. There are hundreds of diet plans out there but the most important thing is you choose the one that works best for you and make a commitment to stick to it. Here is an article that will help you make the right decision.

    here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb, 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like.

    get a pedometer and take 10,000 steps everyday.

    Pills don't work anyways so save your money and buy healthier foods, cut soda and sugars.

    Fresh fruit and veg's, protein, fiber and low fat dairy.

    Exercise is so important for burning the calories to lose the fat also it tones your body.

    You also need to be more realistic, i don't think you can lose that much weight in a month in a half, probably half that (15).

    Try looking at fitness magazines, go to sport fitness centers and work out, take a jog around your neighborhood, i won't really do this but diet soda? umm.... take yoga classes! and also, on the news they said that to sleep for 6 to 9 hours or it could lead to obbessness.
