No, it's not low fat. No, it's not the grapefruit diet. No, it doesn't involve extraneous exercise (unless you really want to). The BEST FAT LOSS diet for RAPID fat loss? You're about to find out.
Let's take the atkins diet. Why is the atkins diet so successful? First off, it is just so easy. Find a food with less than a certain amount of carbs, and if it fits the requirements, then you can eat it. It works because carbohydrates are the body's main energy source. When that source is gone, your body goes straight to burning fat.
Now imagine we magnify the powers of the atkins diet. We go a little bit crazy, and make it a requirement that the food have NO CARBOHYDRATES in order to be edible. Imagine the effects! Pure fat burning 24/7. And that is how the idea of Hardcore Atkins came about.
Here's a sample diet:
Breakfast:
5 Egg whites
1 beef patty
Lunch:
A full serving of any fish
Dinner:
Season Grilled Chicken
Tada! It's just that easy. No carbs means your body goes straight to using fat as energy. The only downfall with this diet is the excess amount of meat and lack of vitamins. Keep in mind this is a diet, not a lifestyle. It should not be continued for over 3 weeks. A multivitamin MUST be taken everyday.
