Best to provide you with some basics on weight loss first:As I’m sure you already know, if you consume less calories (from your food and drink) than your body needs, your body will burn up fat to try and make up the difference - it requires energy for daily maintenance. Slowly, you’ll lose weight.One pound of body fat is equal to approx 3,500 calories, ok.The recomended safe rate of weight loss is to aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.After doing some quick maths, this means you need to eat at least 500 calories less per day than you do now.What’s the catch?If your dietary nutrition is out of the window, i.e. awful - then either you need to burn off way more than 500 calories per day to kick start your weight loss, or you need to make some serious changes to what you eat!If you head over to any online Calorie Calculator, or use an app, these can usually tell you a couple of important things (based on your current activity levels):Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)Your BMR is the number of calories required by your body to keep functioning at rest.The number of calories you’ll need to burn in order to safely lose 1 or 2 pounds per week.Remember though, these are just estimates which give you a defined goal to work towards.How long will it take?Well, let’s say you work on losing no more than 2 pound per week, it will take you approx 15 weeks (3–4 months) to lose 30 pounds of weight.

How long would it take to lose 20-30 pounds by not eating? I'm eating 100 calories or less or none at all every day.

Big difference between 100 cal and 0. 0 cal is better. Its called water fasting, I was losing 3/4lb or so of true fat per day I did that. Why is 100 cal worse. Well, its not if it is eaten as pure fat. Its bad if its eaten as processed simple carbs. If its eaten as leafy veggies preferably raw, that could be almost as the water fast with 1 big caveat. Not eating at all, takes away the craving to eat in 2–3 days as you hit full blown ketosis, and lose the “need to chew” something. Eating a bunch of leaves, will prevent that situation from happening. I did not lose much if any muscle, I can assure you, a 219lb man losing 70lb and still being able to walk around, not likely if even 1/2 of that 70lb was muscle. I actually was doing light weights in the fasting period, and any heavy weights are not advised, and that is really to prevent muscle loss or injury. You tear a muscle when fasting, you will take a long time to repair it - if ever. While true fasts preserve muscle, they don't help it grow. On the flip side, true fasts help grow bone, intestines and skin due to the increase in HGH when fasting. I don't know if the leafy veggies would affect that cycle in anyway, but HGH production will drop if you have protein or carb. My guess is 100 cal worth of green veggies essentially are protein and carbs - so my guess is that HGH increase wont occour.

How long does it take to lose 1 pound of fat?

Your body can only oxidize fat at a rate of approximately 31 calories per pound of body fat a day, whilst this number may vary based on a whole range of factors, this is why it is generally advised when losing weight to stick to a daily caloric deficit of about 500-600 calories (If your deficit is too aggressive, the body will have to turn to other sources such as muscle to get the additional required energy). The more body fat you have, the higher your caloric deficit can be and still be burning fat. Generally you can lose about 1-2 pounds a week based on your body composition. Long story short - a deficit of 3500 calories in one day would not reflect a pound of fat loss. To lose one pound will take 3-4 days absolute minimum (at around 900 calories deficit a day for an overweight person), but generally is going to take 5-6 days at 700 calories a day deficit.
