OP here.
For the first little while, I just did a three day set of back and bicep, chest and tricep, legs and abs, rinse repeat. For variety, I'd throw in a few complex exercises, just to make sure all muscles worked and didnt get too much of a break. As for my diet, well, there really wasn't one. I just ate whatever was good for me (Read: Bananas = healthy, Skittle =/= Unhealthy.)
That worked for a while, but not with immediate gains.
However, not a month ago I was reading up on Men's Health (my only bible) and read a power training article. I got interested, bought the book, and havent looked back since. I don't do a single isolated exercise anymore: complex or nothing. I put a lot more emphasis on legs now (squats, lifts, etc) as practically every muscle in your body has to work to do the movement.
As for diet, look up TNT diet on the net. It's essentially a high fat no carb diet, with a lot of thought put behind it. Long explanation short, you eat only fat and thats what your body has to resort to burning i.e. both the intake and your own stores, whereas if you eat carbs, your body has to work through them before it can move onto fat.
