I also have been following this diet and nutrition plan and have had success in losing fat in my mid-section (i.e. More Cardio, Carb Slam, L-Caratine), but by the same token I have also gained some muscle mass in other areas (i.e. High Protein Intake). Not to mention I feel a heck of a lot better in my overall well being....

It's a good plan, but as Tri says, it needs to be followed in order to work properly....
