Is "Fat Loss 4 Idiots" a Scam? A Review of The Idiot Proof Diet

Is "Fat Loss 4 Idiots" a Scam? There are a couple of ways to answer that question.
First, can it be a scam if the website exists? In this case Fat Loss 4 Idiots does exist and appears to be operational, so in that sense it is not a scam. Second, it could be a scam if the website takes your money, but does not give you anything in return . . . like my ex-wife (I'm joking!). In this case, I would also have to say that is not a scam because payment portion of the site is operated by ClickBank.com, a reputable online clearing house for e-books and online subscription services. ClickBank offers a 45 day money-back guarantee on ALL of it's products and had been doing so for years. It would not take payments for an operation that was a scam or that would not compensate unhappy customers.
Third, when we say "scam" do you really mean "does it work?" As in, "if I follow the guidelines offered by the Fat Loss 4 Idiots (also known as The Idiot Proof Diet, in case you didn't already know) will I finally lose weight?" From the reviews I've read, both professional and from actual customers (see reviews below), it does appear that MOST people lose weight on Fat Loss 4 Idiots, some even more than the 9 lbs in 11 days that it claims, which seems like a dream come true.
How does this diet work? By creating a calorie shifting menu for you. That's right: when you pay for Fat Loss 4 Idiots you not only get a 45-page Handbook containing basic rules of calorie shifting, how to spot and eat foods that burn more fat and how to eat out and still lose weight. But you also get the Diet Menu Generator which creates for you a personalized calorie shifting diet by picking from a list of 50+ foods. You get 11 days worth of menus that tell you what to eat and when, then for three days you can eat whatever you want. Seriously!
There are also two packages offered: the first contains the Diet Handbook and Diet Generator, and the second adds a feature called "Beyond Calories Diet". BCD is an "accelerated version" of the regular calorie shifting diet, but now you have a list of 80+ H.S. foods which make you feel full without actually filling you up with wasted calories. Package #1, Diet Handbook and Diet Generator is only $39. No monthly fees or membership charges. Package #2 contains both of those, plus the "Beyond Calories" for an extra $16.95, for a total of $55.95.
With either package, you have 8 weeks to ask for a return from Clickbank.
Is Fat Loss 4 Idiots a Scam? Like any diet, it will take willpower and determination to follow, so it likely won't work for everyone who can't stick to it. And some people have specific medical or emotional conditions that make it difficult to lose weight on even the most stringent plan. But it does not appear to be a scam and could very well be the answer you have been looking for. What do you have to lose, but those extra pounds?

Why Saying No to Foods May Be Harder for Women

Ladies: Does it seem like it's always easier for the man in your life to lose weight when both of you go on a diet? Well, new brain research suggests that women unconsciously have a tougher time resisting their favorite foods than men do. Here's more from the Washington Post:

"This gives us another piece to put into this puzzle," said Dr. Gene-Jack Wang, the study's author, who speculated that women may have more trouble saying no to food because they sometimes have to eat for two.

"Maybe evolution leads them to this because of their important mission to have a baby," said Wang, a senior scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory and professor of psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

According to Wang, the new study aimed to understand why some people don't stop eating when they're full. Your body tells you that you've eaten enough by sending a signal to your brain from the gut, he explained, "but if you go to the buffet, sometimes you just cannot stop."

This wasn't a big problem throughout history because people rarely had a chance to eat more than they needed, Wang said. But modern society has changed that, he said, especially over the past 30 to 40 years as obesity has become much more common in the United States.

For the study, which appears in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers asked 13 women and 10 men about their favorite foods. The participants said they liked a variety of dishes and desserts, including lasagna, pizza, brownies, ice cream and fried chicken.

Best Reviews of the Idiot Proof Diet

We have so many reviews of the Idiot Proof Diet here from people all over the world, it's hard to select a few as our favorites, but we'll try. Below are snippets from just a few. (If you'd like to read any of the full reviews, just scroll down or check the archives at right.)

From Rebecca L.:

This diet has worked like no other I have ever tried. I am getting all of the nutrients I need, I have plenty of energy, I'm hardly ever really hungry, and I'm still losing weight just by eating the foods from the diet plan! I eat 4-5 times a day following the menu that was generated specifically for me, I just chose the foods that I like to eat and already have in my home and the rest is history.

From another dieter:

Following this diet for the last two months I have lost fifty pounds, have gotten rid of my blood pressure meds at my doctors orders,and have increased the amount of weight I can lift. I feel great all day, every day with energy to spare and still sleep like a baby at night.something I have not done for years.

Dale the Diabetic Said:

I am an insulin dependent diabetic. Insulin helps keep weight on, so I had that against me. Then of course I'm to busy to eat and would literally eat my first meal at dinner. The Idiot Proof Diet was simple, there it was in black and white what I could eat and I could eat as much as I wanted of it (*not every item, but most). I lost 11 lbs in the first 9 days. I knew if I could eat whatever I wanted on the "days off portion" I would gain some of them back! BUT I DID NOT. To date I have lost 47 lbs.

Nadine in Southern California wrote:

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.

This one's from Nancy W:

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!
