Fat Loss 4 Idiots - "It is Truly Idiot Proof! So Far I've Lost 7 lbs!"

This success story of Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes to us from Lisa D.:

I am only just beginning this diet (I'm on my 9th day), but I'm very pleased with the diet as a whole. It is truly idiot proof! I don't have time to count calories and think everything out on my own which has been part of my lack of success with other attempts. I actually stumbled on this diet after being totally disgusted with myself for having tried the NutriSystem diet which smelled like dog food and tasted like I'd expect dog food to taste (again I was looking for something that didn't take my time in figuring it all out).

The Idiot Proof Diet let me choose foods that I like and then it generates a meal plan for me with food preparations. It provides a simple motivational write-up, rules for dieting and a dieting handbook which covers what do once we've reached our goal.

I was so excited to find this because I felt hope that I could actually do it and stick with it. For me the hardest part was to stop drinking the Dr. Pepper (which I did!). For me diet drinks are not an option because they taste so icky. Also, the diet requires 10 glasses of water and walking every day.

So far I've lost 7 lbs. I can hardly believe it! And it totally encourages me to keep it up!

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!

Weight Watchers Too Expensive, Woman Lose 14 lbs in 11 Days on Fat Loss for Idiots Diet!

This review of the Fat Loss for Iditos Diet comes to us from Teresa, who says:

Just writing to let you know....
I am on my second 11 days of WLFI (aka Fat Loss 4 Idiots) eating plan. On my first 11 days, I lost 14 pounds. I have already lost more on my second 11 days - I can feel it. For my 3 days I did eat some junkfood - my birthday cake, Golden Corral & Spaghetti warehouse, but I only gained a few pounds. My first few days of my second 11 I lost those and now I'm losing more.

I will probably drop another 9-12 this 11 days. I just love it! I had recently been on Weight Watchers and couldn't afford it. This was $27 for 90 days! Dang - what a bargain!

Fat Loss 4 Idiots: 10 Rules for Weight Loss Success

Fat Loss 4 Idiots has become a popular weight loss diet for many reasons. Their "Idiot Proof Diet Handbook" is simple to use and very effective in helping you take off those extra pounds. With that said, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is primarily built around these 10 weight loss rules.

1. Prepare More of Your Meals at Home - Eating out or eating fast food won't help you in your weight loss efforts.

2. Drink More Water . . . Throughout the Day - This is not only healthy, but it also tricks your brain into thinking you are more full and the result is that you'll eat less.

3. Eat 4 Meals Each Day - And space them out at least 2 and 1/2 hours.

4. Leave Sweets and Snack Foods Alone - An occasional snack okay, but if you overdo it you'll never see results.

5. Shift Calories - By shifting calories you will actually speed up your weight loss and The Idiot Proof Diet Handbook will walk you through this in great detail.

6. Know When to Say When - If you slow down when eating you'll avoid eating until you're stuffed.

7. Eliminate Rich Sauces and Gravies - Spicing up your food is fine, but gravy and most sauces are rich in fat, carbs and--worst of all--calories. Avoid them.

8. Do More Walking - If you want to see quicker weight loss results, add moderate walking to your daily routine. You'll be amazed at how well this helps with any diet plan.

9. Rotate Your Meals - Rotating meals from carbs one day to protein meals the next, etc, will increase your weight loss.

10. Cut Out Sodas & Other Sugary Drinks - Drinking these will offset any weight loss efforts because they are packed with carbs and calories and only add additional weight.

Reader Drops 7 Pounds in Only 7 Days on Fat Loss 4 Idiots Plan!

This review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes to us from Cheryl in Alberta:

This diet came to me via a friend who had lost 17 pounds. My age, weight and fitness level were approximately the same as hers and I decided after years of trying WW and various other diets to give it a shot. I started at 150 pounds and within 7 days had gone down to 143 pounds.

It was easy to follow and when you add in salsa and other allowable things I found I was never feeling great hunger pangs and was content to eat the 4 small meals a day. So far so good. There are currently 10 women watching me carefully to see if it works and they have promised to hop on board if I am successful.

I plan to continue on to my 3 day break and then do another 11 day cycle. Recommend it so far. I also do the 45 minute walking every day and have managed to stay fit for the last 30 years through various exercise routines. Walking is easy!!!

Nadine Recommends Fat Loss 4 Idiots to All Her Friends

This review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes to us from sunny Southern California, where Nadine writes:

This is the best $27.00 I have spent. I started a one month ago and I went from 235 (no lie) to 212 and I am so excited. I can not believe how easy it is and I recommend it to all my friends. Especially friends that are not having any luck with there current diet. I know when I see my mother & sister next time they are going to really hop on this diet. You get plenty to eat, drink and walking is the key. I don't skip meals anymore, I eat more now than I ever did.

My husband is also joining in on the menu that I have for myself and he is loosing weight too. Although he doesn't walk everyday like I do. But we all know men lose weight fast then women. I highly recommend this diet especially for people that are on Weight Watchers, All Carb Diets or All Protein diets.....what a waste of time and money. I tell everyone I am an Idiot Member for life and it was the best move I made. Thanks for everything.

Thanks,
Nadine A.

Another Fat Loss 4 Idiots Success Story: "I Never Once Felt Underfed"

This success story of the Fat Loss 4 Idiot Diet and its unique calorie shifting system, come to us from Nick in Florida:

I am currently on my 8th day in the 2nd 11 day period. as of today I have lost 15lbs overall. This is the easiest diet I have ever been on and I feel extremely comfortable with the food selections and have never once felt I was underfed or being deprived. The 3 days in between are great but surprisingly I found myself not over indulging and other than adding some vegetables to my meals I ate much the same as when on the diet. So far I have had a very positive experience with this diet. I should mention that I have not exercised as suggested but pretty much just stuck to my couch potato ways.. This is definitely worth a try

Why High-Protein, Low-Fat, And Low-Carbohydrate Diets Suppress Hunger

Wonder why Fat Loss 4 Idiots works so well? This new study from Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) might explain why.

Many popular diet plans are based on changing the proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats one ingests as a method to promote weight loss. There has been some controversy regarding the effectiveness of these diets, but a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) could shed light on potential mechanisms by which various diets promote weight loss.

This study examined the relative ability of different nutrient types to suppress ghrelin, which is secreted by the stomach and is the only known appetite-stimulating hormone. Circulating ghrelin levels increase shortly before meals and then decrease promptly after ingestion of food.

"We found that when fat is consumed, levels of ghrelin remain relatively high, which could in turn stimulate hunger," said Dr. Karen Foster-Schubert of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington. "Protein consumption resulted in the greatest suppression of ghrelin over a long period and, interestingly, consumption of carbohydrates resulted in a strong ghrelin suppression initially, although subsequent ghrelin levels rebounded well above baseline."

Fat Loss for Idiots Review from Sheila - "Best $27 I Ever Spent"

This review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes to us from Sheila:

I will say that when I came across this diet online I was and had pretty much given up on any hopes of loosing weight. I was just going to accept the fact that I was going to be fat the rest of my life. The name "Idiot Proof Diet" caught my attention so I read what it had to say and paid my $27.00 (Editor's Note: at the time of Sheila's review, this was the cost of the diet). The best $27.00 I've ever spent.

I started the diet on March 28, 2005 and by that Friday April 1 I had already lost 8 lbs. I really like that I don't have to measure anything, or count calories at all. I will say that time has passed I don't eat such large portions. And at times its hard to get all 4 meals in a day! Maybe the first week or so I did feel a bit light headed, but my body was missing all the bad foods, pizza, candy pop.. oh the list goes on! I have noticed that now food is not my main concern of the day, I'm not obsessed with it as I was before.

I'm not as tired, I'm sure because Ive now lost 51 lbs, don't get heart burn any more, and have had no problems with my gallbladder. And also my cholesterol has gone from 188 to 161. I agree with the 10 glasses of water a day, if I don't I feel it the next day. My skin has cleared up and wow my nails have gotten much stronger and long. That's never happened before. As you can tell I have nothing bad to say about this diet! I was wearing a size 18-20 and now I just bought size 12, its been years since I've been in that size!!!! I still have about 30 more lbs to loose, but have no doubt that I will loose it with this diet!

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is Slimming Down the Internet Community: New Review of the "Idiot Proof Diet"

This comes from a press release on WebWire:

The newest weight loss product, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is becoming quite popular on the internet today. The product claims that it can help its users shed off 9lbs of fat every 11 days by giving them sound dieting advice and structured meal plans. The author states, "You don’t get fat because of a lack of exercising, that’s a myth. You get fat because you don’t eat the right foods at the right intervals each day". By following the guidelines and rules of the program, the author states that you will lose 9lb every 11 days, the real question is, does the program really work?
The core secret behind the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program is its structured meal plans and a unique strategy that the author refers to as "calorie shifting". Calorie shifting is a technique where you trick the body into speeding up the metabolism by feeding it a different number of calories each day. This daily shift in calorie intake keeps your bodies’ metabolism in high gear thus decreasing the amount of time it takes to burn fat.

Review of Fat Loss for Idiots: Is It a Scam?

This is part of the review from Lose10PoundsQuickly.com:

The Idiot Proof Diet is comprised of two parts:

1. An e-book that guides you through 10 rules that the diet is based on. For example, here's 5:

- You eat 4 meals per day, each separated by 2.5 hours (I feel 5 meals per day is better, but 4 is still good and is what they recommend).
- You have to use a specific rotation of carb and protein rich meals (this is the foundation of the Idiot Proof Diet).
- Drink water
- Avoid sweets and excessive condiments
- Exercise

2. An online menu generator that spits out the exact foods you'll eat over the 11 day cycle. Before doing this however, it asks you what foods you like and don't like...this way, the menu it generates for you contains food you'll enjoy- a big plus.

Review of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots - Weight Loss Tips

Weight Loss 4 Idiots / Idiot Proof Diet Handbook:
Below are the most well known weight loss tips...
There are a lot of dieting books which discuss all kinds of weight loss tips, many of these tips conflict with each other so it's hard for people to know which weight loss tips are among the best and which are not.
Among the best fat loss tips are these:
1) Starvation dieting does NOT work and will prevent real fat loss from happening (you should never starve yourself).
2) You cannot lose weight by taking pills, most fat loss pills are little more than a form of 'placebo', created to take your hard earned money.
3) Doing ab exercises is NOT the way to give yourself a thinner stomach, ab exercises cannot give you a flat stomach because ONLY a good dieting plan can give you a flat stomach.
5) Eating low fat and non fat foods will not automatically make you burn fat, because most of our society is eating low fat foods and yet our society is getting more and more overweight -- so that should tell you that low fat foods are not the absolute answer to weight loss.
The bottom line is that if you want to lose weight then you need to follow a good fat burning diet, there are no potions or magic pills that can make you slimmer -- the ONLY way to get slimmer is to begin a good dieting program. This piece of information is even more valuable than the weight reduction tips shown above. You can follow the new diet called Fat Loss 4 Idiots / Idiot Proof Diet Handbook and begin burning fat immediately, it's a great dieting plan which is easy to follow and it will allow you to lose weight fast and keep it off permanently.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review: "I LOVE this diet!!!"

This rave review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots (aka the Idiot Proof Diet) comes to us from Patricia D:

After hitting 31, losing even ONE pound became an impossible task. None of my old "tricks" worked and I just seemed to be packing on extra weight even after starving myself for days at a time.About 6 weeks ago, I hit my "scary" number on the scale, so I decided to take drastic measures. I had heard of a new diet pill that seemed to be working.

I usually NEVER opt for the pills, but at this point, I was becoming desperate. It was through my internet search for testimonials on the pills, that I ran across the Idiot Proof Diet. The diet seemed very sensible and easy to follow. It was inexpensive and balanced (I hate diets that limit my fruit intake!). Before doing anything, I ran it by a co-worker, who has an RN background. She read over it and couldn't see anything negative about it. I took the plunge and went for it!

I will admit, I was a bit skeptical about losing ANY weight by following a diet that would have me eating 4 times a day, including PASTA!! First round came and went and I was 10.5 lbs lighter!! I couldn't believe it!!! I expected to lose maybe 4 or 5, but never 10.5 lbs!!!

I was hooked from that moment on! To date, I have lost 16.5 lbs and I am halfway through my 3rd round. I had a week off due to prior engagements that I could not diet through, so that added a couple of pounds. Still, I LOVE this diet and would recommend it to anyone! I have now gotten used to planning my meals ahead of time and I am saving a ton of money by not going out to eat.

I LOVE this diet!!!

Review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots: "I Would Recommend the Diet For Anyone"

This review is from Shirley M.:

The Idiot Proof Diet worked and is working great for me. I lost 14 pounds but went on vacation and gained back some pounds since the type of travel made it hard to stay on the diet and to get my normal daily exercise or walking. I am confident that I will take the vacation pounds off quickly and continue to lose again. It is so nice to be back into clothes that I could not wear last year.

There are at least three reasons why the diet works for me. First, by planning meals carefully I find that I do not get into the constant snacking or grazing mode that is one of my weight management challenges. I know what I am going to eat and I usually know when I will be eating again. Secondly, I believe I am getting better at identifying when I am full and no longer need to eat. Third, as a function of the structure and timing of meals, I find it very easy to stay on the diet and don't feel particularly tempted to eat junk food or overeat at any particular meal. In beginning the diet I had the most difficulty figuring out when to stop eating.

I found myself overeating at times but as I got used to the diet I began to make sure that I ate slowly enough to have a 10-15 minute meal. Within the mealtime I could find myself feeling satisfied and knowing it was time to stop eating. That seemed like an important lesson for me and I intend to heed that lesson as I transition into a weight management mode again.

I would recommend the diet for anyone who could benefit from rapid weight loss, and is willing to carefully follow a program that can offer that can offer success.

Reviewer: Fat Loss for Idiots Has Given Me More Energy Than I Can Burn!

This review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots (aka The Idiot Proof Diet) was sent to us from Nancy W.:

"My experience with this wonderful diet began May 10, 2005. On May 7th, my husband and I took our 12 year old son to the doctor for an ear infection. Just for kicks I got on the scale - and almost fell off! I saw how much I weighed and was totally shocked. I've been overweight since having my son, but that day was the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life. The scale read 268 pounds!!! On the 9th I went on-line actually to research another diet program and found the Idiot Proof Diet instead. I started on the 10th and have been following it ever since.

To date I've lost 37 of 93 unwanted pounds. I really like this diet because it is simple and you're eating real food, not pre-packaged, portion controlled, someone-else's-idea-of-a-meal foods. You don't have to count calories or weigh specific portions - your portion controller is your own stomach in that you eat until you are almost full. If it takes a pound of pasta to reach that point, that's where you stop. And yes, pasta is one of the foods allowed on this diet.

Since the birth of my son I had a problem with edema, or swelling in the legs. The Idiot Proof Diet has eliminated the swelling in my legs. It has eliminated the acne on my face. It has given me more energy than I can burn during the day, and my days generally run 18 hours or more!

Personally I've done Weight Watchers, Atkins and Nutrisystems. Although each of those worked for me at the time, whatever weight I lost I regained plus some. The Idiot Proof Diet teaches you what actually puts the weight on you and helps you to avoid those pitfalls so that once you reach your goal weight, you can easily maintain it. I highly recommend the Idiot Proof Diet. Plus, its a Best Buy at only $27.00!!! What other diet plan is that cheap!

Good Luck to all that take the plunge!

Nancy W."
