If you're really at 18% bodyfat, I'd say you should probably do the diet for about 2 weeks and then move on to a more moderate diet after the 2 weeks at maintenance. Like Derek said, I'd HIGHLY recommend taking Ephedrine/Caffeine during the RFL diet. Not only does it help with the crashing metabolism, it'll help with your hunger. It'll also give you some energy, although it may not be noticeable after a while. Hopefully, you don't have any health issues that would make Ephedrine potentially unsafe. And, you should not do any cardio during the diet. The diet itself will provide enough of a calorie deficit.
