The
Fat Loss 4 Idiots
diet (formally called Diets 4 Idiots)
is an Internet based diet which has achieved quick popularity among dieters
looking for an easy way to lose weight.
Because it has tremendous potential as an effective weight
loss program, I have reviewed it thoroughly in this article, as well as
within my husband's "How It Worked" first-hand review
(located on this site).
This diet is very unique in a number of ways. It eliminates
calorie counting, the use of most low-fat products and allows you to choose
what you will eat. Perhaps that explains a measure of the
diet's popularity over other weight loss programs.
Let's face it, expensive diets with specially prepared foods
(which often taste bland), take a lot of effort and drain
your pocketbook. If you've experienced any of these diets,
you'll probably be more than pleased with Fat Loss 4 Idiots,
especially because this diet allows you to select "normal
foods" from the regular supermarket.
Ten Features of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots
Diet
Here are some of the advantages of this diet:
1. It doesn't take up a lot of your time. This makes the
diet a good fit for a hectic lifestyle. Hooray. It simply
won't waste a lot of your time.
2. This diet is a simple program that anyone can understand.
But don't be fooled by my use of the term "simple." The
creators of this diet have a profound understanding of the
complex subject of weight loss. They make dieting "simple"
and easy for you to understand. After you read the ebooks
which come with these diet programs (there are actually
three diets here), you'll know how their weight loss works.
3. The diet is easy to follow. The program holds your hand
and tells you exactly what to do. And their online Diet
Generator will create a diet just for you, based upon the
foods you like.
4. You are in control, eating the foods you like. How many
diets give you that? This is a great feature of Fat Loss 4
Idiots.
5. You get to eat more food than you are actually used to.
Again, this is unlike so many other diets. We think of diets
as forms of starvation; but this is NOT Fat Loss 4 Idiots.
6. You won't feel hungry all the time like on other diets.
This is a very strong feature of this program.
7. For most people, the diet doesn't produce sick feelings,
irritability or tiredness. Most people report it makes them
look and feel great and adds energy to their lives. How can
this diet really do this? It's simple. Fat Loss 4 Idiots
allows you to eat real food; it just tells you WHEN and HOW
to eat it so that you lose weight.
8. Great results from this diet are very likely. People see
up to nine pounds of weight loss during each 11 day diet
phase! Such fast results will help you stay motivated to
continue.
9. After each 11 day cycle of dieting, you are required to
take a three day break, during which time you can eat
normally. This break will actually improve the effectiveness
of your diet and of course the break is great for
motivation. The program provides you with some great
information so that you understand HOW and WHAT to eat so
that you don't add a lot of weight back.
10. Finally, and most important of all, you will LOSE
WEIGHT! This is certainly the most important feature of this
diet. The benefit of being able to get into your "skinny
jeans" cannot be under emphasized. This is why you diet.
Losing weight, feeling good and looking fabulous is why
you're here.
The "Basics" Behind Fat Loss 4
Idiots
Human metabolism has been designed to slow down when there
is a scarcity of available food. This is a natural mechanism
which is designed to trigger the
body's ability to store fat for later use for the lean
seasons. The creators of Fat Loss 4 Idiots know that when you eat
more often (but less than a full meal), your metabolism tends to rev up to
burn up
the food, turning it into energy (not fat). Most diets tend
to restrict food through caloric intact and this will slow
down your metabolism, making it harder for you to lose
weight.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet is designed to help your metabolism work for you and not against you. The program doesn't require you to starve yourself,
cut down on portions, or to eat special foods (like Jenny
Craig or Weight Watchers do). You won't have to count
calories at mealtime. You merely to eat the correct foods
(which you will choose) at the correct intervals.
The diet requires you to eat four meals every day at least two
and a half hours apart. So you're likely to be eating even more
food than you're used to. But because the body accesses what
you eat and the size of your intact, meal by meal, it will
burn up smaller meals more quickly.
With this program you will receive an excellent
easy-to-understand ebook which you can download or read
conveniently online (whichever you prefer). You are also
provided with their own unique 10 Basic Rules which are the
foundation for everything you will be doing during this
diet. Learn these simple rules and you'll know what to do in
questionable situations (like when you have to eat out).
If you love to snack, you'll find that the extra meal in
this program is certainly a positive feature. Fat Loss 4 Idiots is all about
eating the right foods at the right time. They call this
"calorie shifting." When you create your first
menu using the Diet Generator, you'll see how the meals are
put together is unique ways which will cause your body to
burn off your extra fat!
If you are wondering how you will be able to eat
so often. Don't fear. You won't have to sit down for an
extra meal each day. You can eat some of your meals just
like bigger snacks. This is great if you are running around
because you can keep a larger snack in your purse
to eat on the go. And remember, YOU can choose the order in
which you eat your four meals. So you can rearrange your
daily menu depending upon your schedule.
How Fat Loss 4 Idiots Works
The creators of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet have discovered
that the human body takes several days to "sense" any change
in calories. So if you shift your calories, in their special
"secret" way, then your
body's metabolism will get "confused" and begin to
burn off your extra fat tissue in an effort to make up for
the smaller size of your meals.
So the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet uses this and other tricks which allows
it to force the body into producing
super fast weight loss. . . That's why this diet works so much faster than
most other weight loss programs on the market.
As already mentioned,
Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides you with a unique online Diet
Generator. This is a useful tool. No matter what your food
preferences, vegetarian or not, the generator will produce a
customized diet plan for you. You simply choose between
seven to 15 food items from each of two food groups. It allows you
to pick your favorite foods, then from your selections, it
creates an 11 day menu plan, telling you exactly what to eat
and when. There is no calorie counting or portion
restriction with this diet. Their advice is to eat until you
feel satiated, but not stuffed.
After the initial 11 days of following your exact diet, you
will be given a three day break in which you are allowed
eat whatever you want (within moderation). This tends
to keep you from getting bored with your menu choices and
keeps up your motivation to continue the program. Once
you are done with your first 14 day cycle, you will start
over again with your next 11 day diet period with new
food choices.
The food is repetitive because there are only 14 different
offerings for 44 meals, but you will find that hunger is not
a problem. Your biggest problem will probably be the lack of
variety. So it is recommended that you be inventive in the
way you prepare your food each day to keep it fun. There is
also a list of condiments which you can add to any your
meals (like salsa) to help you beef up their taste.
Is Exercise Required With This Diet?
Hey, the Fat Loss 4 Idiots does not require any exercising. And
fortunately, it is not necessary to lift a finger down at
the gym to lose weight with this diet, but if you do
exercise, you will more then likely improve your results.
The food choices very much resemble that of a bodybuilder's
"cutting" phase where fat is reduced while maintaining
muscle. The protein is high and the carbs are reduced. The
calorie level is low, but at a good level for fat loss.
So it might sound like a wise idea to introduce some weight
training into your routine. However, they do not recommend
working out, which is very interesting. You'll want to read
the book that comes with this diet for all of the reasons
why this is so.
But at this point it is enough to know that they only
recommend WALKING for two 30 minute sessions each day to
speed up the fat burning process. While this is not
mandatory, they encourage you to do this if at all possible.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots Testimonials
It is suggested that you will lose approximately nine pounds
after 11 days with this diet. But of course, the most
obvious question is. . . does it really work? From the looks
of the testimonials I've read, it certainly seems to for
some. Here's a sampling:
"I started the fatloss4idiots diet on march 6th. The 1st 11
days I lost 6 lbs., the next 11 days I lost 6 lbs. I'm on
day 4 of this 11 day cycle and I've lost 2lbs. You get
fruits and vegetables along with chicken, roast, tuna... You
get to choose what you like with the diet generator. I
haven't had any trouble getting in to the site." --Jcotton
Moller
"This diet is so easy to follow...its all the foods you love
and I feel like I'm not starving myself... I'm not losing 9
pounds every 11 days like it says but that's okay. I think
that much is a little too drastic. I've been losing 4-5
pounds every 11 days which I think is pretty darn good. What
I like most about this diet is the fact you get a 3 day
cheat period where you can eat anything you want in
moderation...this motivates me even more to stick with this
diet through the 11 days and not to cheat until the cheat
days. It's so worth it." --Dana Garrett
"I am currently on the FL4I plan. This is by far the best
diet plan ever! I am on my third 11 day cycle, I lost 10
lbs. during the first cycle, 6 lbs. during the second cycle
and am in day 4 of cycle three, so I haven't weighed yet. I
have tried many diets, this one offers immediate results,
which is motivating and keeps you going. It's easy to follow
and to the picky eaters out there, YOU choose the foods that
YOU like in the diet generator." --Donella Jefferson
"My name is Wendy, I'm a 30-something mother of two from
Liverpool in the North of England. I've recently lost an
absolute ton of weight these last few months using the Fat
Loss 4 Idiots plan and I'm finally back into my size 12's!"
Fat Loss 4 Idiots Testimonials
Let me add my husband David's How It Works
testimonial to this short list. He lost 8 pounds in the
first 11 days and was very impressed not only by the weight
loss but also by all of the clear documentation in the
program. Be sure and read his first-hand experience with the
diet and how it worked for him.
David also encouraged me to tell you that when ordering,
you definitely want
to add the Beyond Calories ebook to your order.
If you don't get it at the time you sign up for the diet,
you can't obtain it separately. David feels
that this separate and simple diet is even better than the
Diet Generator, so you will not want to miss that.
This additional ebook package is
a more advanced version
of the basic calorie shifting diet. And it gives you more food
choices, which should make it even easier to stick to your
diet. Be sure and get it while you have the chance.
There Is A 60 Day Money-back Guarantee
The only way you will actually know if this diet will work
for you, of course, is to try it yourself. Even if I told
you it worked for me, that doesn't mean it will for you. But
the thing that struck me most about most of the testimonials
is that the amounts of weight people lost were substantial
over a shorter time frame. So it is very likely you will
find out quickly if the diet will work for you.
Fortunately, if it doesn't work, you will have risked
nothing because the program offers a full 60 day money back
guarantee. So trying the diet presents almost no risk to
your pocketbook, while holding great potential for truly
tightening your waistline (in the right way).
I don't have a ton of weight to lose, but my husband does
(ha, ha). And so we're going to try this diet ourselves.
Hopefully in a couple of months I'll share my own positive
(or negative) feedback with you.
