When dieting for a contest or just to rid yourself of extra pounds always lose the weight gradually. Any extreme diet will often end up burning muscle along with the fat and the results (the way you look) will not be what you had hoped for. The proper method is to gradually reduce calories over time with one increased carb day per week (to keep your metabolism up). At the gym perform cardio in the fat burning zone.
