Men's Fitness,  Nov, 2004  by Christopher R. Mohr

Consider this month's meal plan that tat-burning spark. Follow it over the next four weeks--Thanksgiving Day excluded, of course--and you can expect to shed between five and 10 pounds, depending on your existing weight.

For even more impressive results, pair this plan with the fat-loss workout starting on page 104.
