The Radical Diet

[Gareth83]

There was some useful links for this before but the download link doesn't work.

Can anyone summarise or give a link?

Thanks

The diet is split into low carb / low calorie days, and higher carb / higher calorie days;

The low carb / low calorie days are set to maximum of 1,000 calories a day for women and 1,200 calories a day for men

The higher carb / higher calorie days are set to maximum of 2,000 calories a day, regardless of gender.

Each week you need to set yourself a fat or weight loss target to achieve in the next 6 days (realistically about 1-2 lbs).

Stay on the low carb / low calorie approach for the next 6 days, and then Weight yourself again.

If you have hit your target, you are allowed to go onto the higher carb / higher calorie approach the next day. You then set your next target for the next 6 days, and go back onto the low carb / low calorie approach and repeat.

If you do not hit your target, you should a) stay on the low carb / low calorie approach until you hit it (i.e dont allow yourself the carb-up day until you hit your target), and optionally b) be mega strict and severe the next day through about 1000kcals of liquid protein/fat/fibre nutrition only (similar to v-diet).

Basically, you just keep trying to hit each weekly fat loss target (he calls 'MiniSteps) until you get to the weight you need to, and then transition onto a more normal diet.

Is it the satndard 1g per lb of protein? minimal carbs or is it strictly based on calories and appropriate foods...?

Httk?

Has to be similar to a PSMF to get the results the diet reports. High protein (at least 1g per lb) trace carbs and fats bar EFA's. The higher cal day acts as a refeed.

so nothing out of the ordinary then
