Bad day yesterday, hehe. The title rubbed me the wrong way.
The fastest way to lose fat while keeping muscle loss fairly low is a Protein Sparing Modified Fast. 1 g protein/lb lean mass, minimal fat(Google for the minimum) and carbohydrates only from low-calorie vegetables like broccoli, lettuce, etc. Supplement with vitamins, fish oil capsules, calcium, magnesium, etc. You will also lose a lot of water weight which will help you look more cut. The heavy protein intake inhibits muscle loss because your liver metabolizes dietary protein instead of muscle protein. Rapid Fat Loss Handbook by Lyle McDonald covers this diet extensively(including precautions, etc) and I recommend it highly.
That said, unless you're really close, you're probably not going to get a 6 pack in 2 weeks.
