Two years ago I went from 247 to 190 in six months on a low carb diet. Unfortunately I flirted around with food and now I am back up to 220 and I have tried the same diet but I can't seem to take it off as fast even though I am working out more. I think I will give this diet a shot as it is not much different than my previous one except the beans and day a week eating binge which sounds like fun!

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but there is no quick fix when it comes to dropping fat (as opposed to weight).
If you merely want to lose "pounds" (mere weight), you can easily do that over the weekend by dehydrating yourself - and you could expect to lose a couple of pounds. But that's just water. And the fat will still be there. And once you hydrate again, you'll weigh just the same as before that little experiment.
You should focus more on dropping "fat" rather than weight. Fat loss can be monitored using a body fat caliper.
However, due to the nature of the human body, you cannot safely lose more than 2 pounds of fat per week. If you lose more, chances are you'll regain it as soon as you get back to a "normal" diet. And who can stay on a "diet" forever? And who would want to.
Losing fat is really simple. But it's hard work. Simple, but hard. You have to slightly limit your calorie intake, and exercise regularly to create a calorie deficit, that will result in safe and permanent fat loss.
If you diet hard (reducing your daily calorie intake a great deal) your metabolism will slow down (your body gets into starvation mode, preserving energy), and you'll burn less calories each day, meaning, you'll lose less fat. From diets alone (without exercising) you'll more likely lose just muscle than fat. And when you get back on your regular diet, you'll gain the weight you lost, look still chubby and soft, and have less muscle.
Sorry guys, there is no easy way around it - you've got to work out. :)

Has anybody tried this diet, and if so, how is it going? I meant to look at it when Tyler first posted it, but my computer was running really slow that night, so I didn't click on the link. I intended to check it out later, but I forgot. I just read it this morning, and coincidentally, many of the things that this guy recommends are the things I've just started trying this week.

My brother does something similar to this when he gets back into his serious modes. Especially eating the same meals over and over.
