This diet plan is intended to lean you out while building muscle. It has two calorie levels, one for women, one for men. You can and should try it for two weeks and adjust the calorie levels if you lose weight too fast.  If you lose too fast, add 200-300 calories of carbs at breakfast, pre or post workout.

The FDX2-series are for muscle gain while staying/getting leaner. It's not a rapid fat loss plan since you need more energy to work out hard and build muscle. I call it the "transformation diet plan". The method is lose fat slowly and gain muscle in the process, which is a very tricky game. With FDX2 you assure recovery by using nutrient timing as well as skipping plan C (which is optional in the FD Concept). The Plan is boosting your metabolism, keeping you strong and melt off the annoying layer of soft and smooth.

"A little over a month ago, I was on increased cals, doing zero cardio and hitting 200lb squats for 5 reps! Since then, I've decreased my calories (to FDX2), added some cardio (Cardio4Leanness), and today I hit 200lbs for 10 reps!!! Proof these plans WORK & veggies DO build muscle & strength...even in a deficit! Thank you Pauline :-D" -Katie Nicole Wood

"As a woman, I never thought I could build muscle and have good definition naturally. I also thought that I'd have to starve myself to be thin. Isn't that what everyone in skin-n-bonywood thinks and does? Oh boy, was I wrong….

After giving Fighter Diet a chance (and why is it called a "diet" again?) I discovered the sweet truth: I CAN build muscle, I CAN eat a lot (and I mean a lot!), I CAN eat carbs and sweets while improving fitness, and I don't have to follow portion-control in order to be fit. I have started FD about half a year ago and stuck with it ever since because my body responded immediately! I have noticed a leaner, more defined muscle tone in my arms, my back, my thighs and my abs. Pauline, I can't thank you enough for creating this awesome concept and sharing it with all of us!" -Natalie

"I was the skinny girl that worked out so hard but was afraid to eat carbs. I was going nowhere fast with low carbs low fat and high protein eating.I was putting so much effort into my diet and workouts but the results were minimal.I wanted more definition & 8 pack abs.I have been on the FDX2 for just over 2 months and I have never looked this good.My body fat went from 10% to 8.64% and I have more muscle definition that ever.Of course I have to continue and make more gains (more muscle definition and staying lean with my new 6 pack abs which will eventually be an 8 pack). Thank you to all of the friends on this site especially Annie & Emily,for all of your guidance and being a source of information and support.Pauline thank you for making Fighter Diet accessible and sharing your wealth of knowledge. If it wasn't for you I would not look this amazing and believe that better is just around the corner.I LOVE FIGHTER DIET WISH I HAD SOME BUSINESS CARDS TO PASS OUT I ALWAYS TELL MY CLIENTS ABOUT IT!The journey that Fighter Diet has put me on is amazing and I will continue to make changes and be grateful.THANK YOU!" -Mickey

"2 weeks into FDX2 and I've never looked better. Thanks so much Pauline! You and you're program are absolutely incredible!! ♥ My body is getting tighter, leaner and stronger every day. Seriously, if anyone is thinking of buying the ebook/getting on the program and hasn't yet - DO IT! It'll be the best 26.99 you ever spent haha. Also just signed up for the Dungeon - super excited to see what's happening in there! :)"- Ariana

"I started training about a year and a half ago when I was struggling with being underweight and not eating properly. I was told I needed to put on weight but I didn't want to  just "get fat", so I started training with weights.  I was a huge fan of Pauline's before I first started reading about the FD concept.  Following her on the Facebook page and reading the blogs, I was more and more intrigued about Fighter Diet.  I really wanted to be a part of the Fighter Diet community, but I assumed as I was trying to GAIN weight that there would be no benefit in me reading the FD ebooks.

I had hit a plateau in my training and lean gains, and I knew it was due to my diet.  I still wasn't eating enough, and I didn't know how to eat!  Food still scared me, and I was so confused as to what I should be eating, and how much.

One day I could contain my curiosity no longer, and brought FDX2.  I read it and realized just how much I was letting myself down on my diet!  It helped me find meals I felt comfortable eating, as a result my eating habits improved and I gained lean mass without gaining any extra body fat!  FDX2 taught me which foods to trust, and I actually ENJOY my meals now because I am no longer scared of eating!

I don't follow the diet to a T, and therefore don't consider myself officially on FDX2.  As a lean vegetarian (ex-vegan, who has progressed to using whey protein supplementation) I cannot, nor should not follow the diet exactly.  I still struggle a bit with eating big meals (sooo many veggies!) but I eat A LOT more than I used to.  I also add more fats (like nuts) and higher calorie foods, as well as suitable vegetarian options to replace meat.

But regardless of who you are and your personal goals, I think ANYONE can benefit from reading FDX2.  As long as you understand your personal nutritional needs, you can use FDX2 as a complete diet plan, or a flawless base to modify your own personalized diet.

Pauline is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to achieving a lean, shredded, healthy physique, so whether you want to loose a few pounds, or you need help building/maintaining lean mass, I HIGHLY recommend FDX2!  I'd be lost without it!

Thanks Pauline!" -Simone

"I didn't want to write this on your wall because I didn't want it to look like I was patting myself on the back when I am really soo grateful to you! I went to the mall today to buy new jeans and OMG I AM A SIZE 2!  I have never once (besides the week before a show) been that tiny! This lifestyle you created and meal plans like FDX2 which you have made available for everyone is so amazing and I cannot thank you enough. I feel so good about myself and can't wait to get even better throughout the years." -Meg

"Going to post progress pics soon because i can't believe what a change I've made in just a few weeks- but honestly had to say it still AMAZES me that i am gaining muscle, losing inches, and NEVER hungry! i looooove this ♥ ♥ and can't thank you enough for putting FDx2 out there for people like me and the fighter diet itself! I am in my "off-season" and plan on doing a show in march/april- so building muscle was my top priority and thanks to you i am achieving that quite successfully! you are absolutely awesome in every way and i am 100% certain I will be following this lifestyle you've created for the rest of my days :) thank's pauline!" -Meg Orr

"I've been working out on a regular basis for about a year now and, slowly but surely, my body was changing. I was pleased with the results but wanted my pre-kids body back. I was doing all the right things (or so I thought) but found it challenging to stick to my diet every single day. I was hungry, I won't lie! That's when I decided to try Fighter Diet. FDX2 was the best and cheapest birthday gift I ever got for myself! In 5 weeks, my results were better than I expected, but, more importantly, they made me realize what my muscles were missing all this time; they needed the right food (and lots of it!) to continue to grow. My workout intensity increased dramatically even though my workout routine stayed almost the same. The difference? My body wasn't hungry anymore so I could push harder and it shows! Thank you Pauline for introducing me to the way of life that delivers superior results; keeps my muscles well fed and gives me the ultimate trade-off – endless energy!" -Natalie"

"I just have to say that it has been 3 weeks CONSISTENTLY with FDx2 concept and my body is significantly tighter, muscles noticeably fuller. My scale weight is up 3-4lbs consistently from endeavoring on this journey and I could not be happier or more excited. My energy has sky rocketed, my skin looks phenomenal, my strength has almost doubled, and the mental clarity is indescribeable. Now I have been following the FD concept for over a year so why the increased results? Trial and error. Finding out what works for me! Pauline helped me realize I was not eating nearly enough calories consistently (muscles are like plants, they need consistent water and sunlight. You cannot skip a day and flood them the next day. Consistency) I also was overtraining to "compensate." No, no, no, no, no!!!. My days of restriction and binging are over and I could not say "good bye" quick enough. I feel 'freed.' I am so excited to wake up every morning! New opportunity, new goals, new lines and contours in my physique! Thank you, Pauline for not only creating this concept, but allowing us to follow it with you ;-) You always answer our questions, you encourage us, you challenge us, and most of all you care about us.. and that is priceless. If anyone who is reading this is still contemplating about investing in an ebook, just get it (or them- they are all good). They are priced way lower than their value and they will change your life (if you allow them to), I promise! trial and error due to my indiscretions with calories. I was eating about 1800 not realizing I needed way more. I now eat 2300-2500 calories and look 100% better. I am a hard gainer and was under the impression I only needed 1600-1800.  When you eat FD foods. You can definitely eat more. Not all calories are created equal, that's for sure " -Deanna

"If your looking for a plan and menus to get you in the best shape of your life…your search is over. This is great! It is a no-brainer just follow Pauline's menus, be inspired by her photos,  follow her workouts and you will achieve your goals. She has done all the work so you don't have to." Kevin L. Lewis, Cht, CNT2, Celebrity Trainer & Fighter Diet client"

"To all the people that are debating on the FD meals, JUST DO IT! My husband and I have been on FDX2 for 7 weeks as of this weekend. We haven't varied from the diet with the exception of making the FD pizza once. We are never hungry, and as soon as we think we may be getting the urge to eat, VOILA! It's time for a snack or a meal again. So let me just clarify why I'm so excited... We haven't missed or wanted these things after seeing and feeling the results of SEVEN weeks of NO peanut butter, no breads, no cheese, or sour cream, cream cheese, potatoes, rare bites of my kids candy, cashews, random sugary fruit, no handfuls of nuts, I could go on, but you probably get my point by now. We thought we ate really well compared to others, but Pauline pushed us to a new level of understanding. So, I highly recommend that all of the doubters give it a try!" -Tracy

"I can't enough express how thrilled I am with my FDx2 program! It has done everything I was aiming for - built more muscle mass, and at the same time burning fat. Best part, I am NEVER hungry!Fighter Diet is truly the dream program for anyone, it will achieve that body that you are aiming for, if you stick to it and adhere to a serious workout program. Did I mention you will start craving vegetables? I recommend all my clients at Barry's Bootcamp to start Fighterdiet, it just works.Fighter Diet = the six pack-diet!"-Anna @ barrys Boot Camp

"The Fdx2 ebook came out at the exact time I needed it too! I had already been following FD since November of 2010. But needed the meal planning to really pull my diet together. I kicked my peanut butter without so much as a goodbye kiss. Committed to shedding the fat off my back and butt, I  began using Fdx2 in April of 2011 and it has delivered! Big! My bodyfat with calipers went from 15.8% in November 2010 to 10.7% in June 2011! And while it had visibly come down by April with just FD alone, these last two months on the FDX2 program just put it over the top!  My waistline measurement is back to 24"!!! Something I never thought I'd see again after two full term babies. Yes, I added a ton of cardio on non-weight training days. I literally held my breath and took he plunge, terrified of stripping my hard earned muscle yet, determined to shed the fat off my butt and back! And the plan did what it promised! My strength improved. My endurance increased. My muscles grew! AND THE FAT CAME OFF! I can't say enough about how happy I am with Fdx2. I would recommend this program to anyone!  And am now looking forward to the new Buff book that's in development." - Maggie Corso

"Only been doing FDX2 for 17 days. I follow exactly as written. Started at approx 130lbs, 5'3, approx 18% body fat. No new calipers taken yet, but clothes are significantly looser and the scale tells me I dropped 7lbs. I almost never feel hungry, no decreases in muscle mass, strength, or energy... actually I have more energy and endurance than before.
I have NO will power to ignore hunger pains and I NEED to feel stuffed after a meal. So in the past, the typical bodybuilder diet has never worked for me. I would do it for a week or so, then gorge myself and never make any significant progress in leaning out unless I did hours of cardio a day (which I don't have time for anymore since I work 50 hrs a week with no 24hr gyms nearby).
Now that I've been doing it almost three weeks, I feel this diet is incredibly sustainable. I could eat like this for the rest of my days and be happy (and most likely, very muscular and lean too)!
"-Jennifer

"My name is Karla M. 37yo, I started following FD concept on June 17th 2011, after 10 months of intense trainings and losing my last 20 pounds, I was so exhausted, I made the mistake to sacrifice so much muscle mass while leaning out....  yes when you are trying to lose weight you get desperate!   finally I did get lean but kind of the skinny fat girl!   Now since I started following FDX2, and her total body workout I am getting where I want to be.  Just to resume how I feel now, because you may be confuse.... I am not trying to lose weight I am trying to drop fat while increase and build muscles!
1- In the first month  I have recovered my strength and improving more and more every week!
2- not starving at all, my mood is great!
3- lots of energy!!!!
4- super motivated and I can sleep normal again!

I am 100% sure this is the way to go!  at least for me is working so good!   there is always something that you need to adjust according to your needs, but I love to eat a lot!  and the veggies are keeping me satisfied, giving me the fuel I need to support my workouts, and I will prove this is working at the end of this FD challenge!" -Karla

This ebook is designed for what everyone wants: more muscle, less fat. You don't want bulk and smooth appearance, but you also don't have enough muscle mass to go on a low calorie plan. Here you get the best of both worlds. You use pre and post workout nutrition for your intense workouts, you refeed for fat loss and to generate an anabolic (muscle-building) stimulus, BUT, it's not a menu with excess calories which will most likely make you too smooth to see any muscle definition.

The ebook has one menu for the ladies and one for the gents. You can of course tailor it to your own needs by adding a few extra calories if you like!

FAQ: what is the difference between this one and the FDXtreme?

A: This is a menu for building muscle and lose fat. FDxtreme is an extreme fat loss plan that are focused on shedding tons of flab. If you are sedentary it also enables a faster fat loss rate, but it's not a menu that will promote maximum muscle gain.
