if i do cardio for 45 minutes or more every day and eat healthy, would it speed up the process of losing weight? what would be the estimated amount of time until I see some results?

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Yes, adding exercise to any diet will of course help speed up the weight loss process because your burning more calories, while also increasing your metabolism. Although exercise is great, be careful with what type you do because you might tend to gain some muscle (more than likely lean if your not doing strength training) and for some ppl when they get on the scale and see that they've lost nothing or even gained extra lbs, that tends to discourages them. You have to remember that you are indeed losing fat, but since muscle weighs twice as much than fat, your weight is going up.
I daily do two hours of exercise, I jog for an hour in the morning and play tennis an hour in the evening, and my weight is now on a stand still now, but I can tell I'm losing weight based upon my measurements and how my clothes feel and my energy level.
So all said and done make sure your doing some type of exercise that's burning fat rather building muscle if trimming fat is your goal.

The time it takes to see results from your exercise varies with each individual, but 45 minutes a day and healthy eating should cause you to lose weight and feel better too.

Cardio is great but most people (including myself) underestimate their current fitness level. If you’re not sure, start with walking … 40 to 45 minutes is enough. I’m lead to believe that slower is better for fat burn.
I run because I like to run. I personally don’t think it’s necessary.
Lifting weights works faster if your goal is to drop weight fast. I suggest hiring a personal trainer depending on your experience with training.
