I followed this Diet back in 2003 and lost 40 Kilos (about 88 pounds) over 6 months, most of them in the first 3. The key things for me were:
Giving up alcohol for two months
Not eating much at all
Doing the fitness regime to boost metabolic rate
By the time I stopped I was on level 45 of the ladder, had never felt fitter in my life and wasn't ripped per se but was certainly toned.
Since then my weight has gone back up largely due to work and old habits coming back - I've taken up cycling which is definitely having a positive effect, but I'm not sure it'll be as effective without consideration to other areas (crap food, booze etc.)
