Instant change -- I disagree here (within reason.. keep reading). As long as you do not have any medical conditions preventing high intensity exercise, you can aim to drop, reliably, 8 lbs. per month. This could be more if starting with a good amount of extra weight (it's easier to burn fat when you have more of it).
A balanced diet that includes at the core lean meats/veggies/fruits, a low to medium carb diet, along with confusion via high intensity exercise (and other kinds of exercise), also with proper supplementation, can get you to your goals in six months or less. The thing about sprints, though, is that they are painful. They hurt. But the results do come if you stick to a complete regimen that has a scientific basis for success. A typical American does not eat enough protein, and eats too many carbs. A good diet balances protein/fat/carbs and eliminates sugar bomb intake (one of my weaknesses). Many foods that you eat might seem healthy, but they likely are not. Food that rots is best. Anything processed or unnatural is not part of a clean diet and will hold you back from reaching your goals. Feed yourself the best quality fuel, and your body will respond.
I'm happy to share my program with anyone who wants it. I basically was eating/drinking/taking protein shakes about 11x per day, working out very hard for short amounts of time (never more than one hour, usually 45 minutes or 15-20 minutes for a hardcore sprint routine), and dropped 8lbs.+ per month.
See your doctor before engaging in high frequen.. I mean high-intensity exercise. Good trading and health to all.
