Most Effective Cutting Regime?

I’m curious as to the best plan out there to quickly and safely shed fat.

I follow good dietary rules year-round, pay my dues and just want to cut up a bit, as quick as possible. I want to structure 8-10 weeks that’ll get me from the mid-teens (approx) to 8% or less. I might mention that i used to be chubby when i was younger, if that changes anything.

Right now i’m thinking about doing Berardi’s Get Shredded diet, combined with Staley’s EDT for fat loss. Any better ideas? What would be a good program to cycle onto after that EDT one, about 6 weeks into the thing?

EDT is great, especially when you do it Tabata style.

I don’t know anything about EDT, but I got very lean last year running The Waterbury Summer Project last year.

Despite myself I keep coming back to meltdown training: painful but effective.

Thanks to you three. Three differing suggestions though, does anyone else have an opinion?

It’s going to be your diet that makes or breaks you cutting bodyfat. Training can help to a degree but make it easy on yourself if you plan to go very low carb and low calories. Meltdown training or similar programs will bury you on a diet like that.

Get Shredded Diet plus Meltdown.

the Velocity Diet, but there’s not an ice cube’s chance in hell that you’ll last longer than a month on it. Not to say that you’re weak-willed, but when you read the article for it you’ll understand.
