Latest Review of Fat Loss for Idiots: My blood pressure has dropped back into the normal range!

This review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes to us from Jennifer, 26, who lives in Maryland. Here's what Jennifer had to say:

I'm Jennifer and I'm responding to your request for reviews of this diet. Here's my story.
I lost 40 pounds on this diet in August & September '05 and have kept it off (just lost the holiday pounds). Here are some more tangible benefits I've experienced:
1) I'm wearing clothes I've had to dig out of my 'skinny stuff' storage bins,
2) my blood pressure has dropped back into the normal range (it was about 150/92 and has now dropped to 118/78 - my doctor's thrilled),
3) I just passed out of the BMI 'obesity' range into 'overweight, and
4) I have more energy that I've had in years. The diet itself was extremely simple, it really is idiot-proof.

The only hard part is making yourself stick to it, but that's more of a mind-set problem than anything else. I'd reached the point of being absolutely fed up (pun intended) with being fat and decided I wasn't going to spend my 20's overweight. That's what kept me on this diet and ultimately what made it work for me. There are also some mental tricks I used, such as looking at the floor as I grocery shop until I come to the exact item I need (you've got to know your store, of course). And I save my eating out for my three 'off' days - I've saved at least $20/week not eating lunches out. But knowing you have that break sooner rather than later is a great mental boost.

There are other diets I like and have had moderate success on, but this is the only one I've ever found that causes significant weight loss (and the benefits that come with it) in a short period of time. But be prepared - this is not for the faint of heart. If you want this to work, get rid of the junk food in your house, be prepared to make two dinners for yourself and your family, plan to be around restrooms regularly (you've got to drink ALL the water it tells you to), and don't plan nights out on the town unless it falls on an 'off' day. And on that note, I'd highly suggest a Monday start, as this would time your 'off' days for the following Fri/Sat/Sun.

One last suggestion. The site does offer a maintenance phase, but I found it easier to switch to another diet plan for maintenance (I personally prefer the South Beach maintenance, but that's just me). And don't, DON'T, fall off the wagon for more than a week or two - you'll be okay during Christmas/New Year holidays if you get right back into it afterwords. Hope you all enjoy it and good luck!
