This diet is meant to be temporary since we'll be cutting back on carbs, and abstaining from alcohol, and all processed food. It's meant to work together with an intense 5-7 day-a-week training program.
This is a modification of the popular 40/40/20 diet.
It's a simple, strict diet that will help you shed fat fast and keep your muscle.
I'll preface this by saying that I am not a dietitian or nutritionist. These are dieting techniques I've used throughout my years of fitness training and bodybuilding.
Lets start with the No's
Processed food: We'll eat nothing but real food for 30 days. Your body will function better and you'll burn fat more easily. Someone smarter than me wrote it better here:

Dairy: My 12 years as a vegan taught me that dairy is just kinda gross. Cutting it out for 30 days will make burning fat way easier. Someone smarter than me wrote it better here:

Protein: Lean meats: Beef, Chicken, Fish, Pork, whole eggs
Carbs: Fruits, Oats, white/ brown rice, sweet or regular potatoes
Fats: Organic peanut butter, nuts, avocado, fish oils
Veggies: Everything (raw or steamed)
Water or Black Coffee only (No fruit juice, soda, etc...)
Rule 1: Take in 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight each day.
Rule 2: Take in 1- 1.5 grams of carbs per pound of body weight (heavier on training days, lighter on off days)
Rule 3: Calculate your calories! Too low and you wont be able to recover from your workouts. To high and you won't loose weight. Here's the calculator I use:
