It's the Get Shredded Diet.
It doesn't seem to have plateaus because the deficit is so great that you're always losing something. But, it still has fast and slow rates of loss, like a more traditional diet.
A more traditional diet's slow rate for one week just isn't enough to budge the scale, while GSD's rate keeps the scale moving. But, are you only losing fat? I don't know?
Also, what will happen when you come off of it? There's a whole article on getting off the GSD when GSD is done.
And, if you're eating non-compliant items daily, is it even the GSD? Will it still work the same way?
I don't know if this is even important to note, but in the diet article, Berardi says that it's not for the person who wants the six pack, it's for the person who has it and wants to get dramatically lean. Whether it's true that a super lean dude finds it harder to lean out more or not, I don't know. But, when you've still got enough fat to not have a sixer, more normal diets are probably going to work fine and help you maintain what muscle you have.
ZMA does nothing for me that normal magnesium and zinc don't. I've used them all. I don't know that they do anything, anyway. I take them because I had a lot of muscle cramps, but I sleep the same, regardless of whether I take drug store minerals together, separately, or as ZMA. I also sleep the same if I take nothing.
Maybe you're not sleeping because you're hungry.
