Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review | Calorie Shifting Diet Plan Review | Can You Really Lose 9 Lbs. Every 11 Days With the FatLoss4Idiots Diet?

Hi Everyone. My name is Jonathan, though my friends call me John (:

Having been overweight for most of my life, I know how frustrating it can be to try to lose weight and fail miserably. I have lost over 30 pounds and so have a keen interest in dieting and fitness. 

This lens is dedicated to the popular Fat Loss 4 Idiots  diet program, also known as the Idiot Proof Diet, Fat Loss 4 Dummies, and Weight Loss 4 Idiots.

Fat Loss For Idiots is based on the Shifting Calories Method. Calories Shifting is accomplished by constantly changing what you eat, so that your body doesn't get used to any routine. This causes your metabolism to remain high and your body to burn more fat faster and more efficiently. The reason why 95% of diets fail is that most diets are based on reducing the amount of calories you eat. This causes your metabolism to slow down, so you may lose weight in the beginning, but you end up gaining it all back.

The Calorie Shifting program keeps the metabolism high at all times, so your body always burns fat, leading to a rapid and continuous weight loss.

The FatLoss4Idiots.com program includes a menu generator which produces a personal menu to each user. You type in the food you like to eat, and the menu generator takes it into account, so you end up eating much of the food you like, but it always shifts it around. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots menu is comprised of 4 meals a day so you never starve. That's why so many people have been able to stick to it for so long and maintain their new weight once they lost the number of lbs. they wanted.

That's why it works so well.

Why 95% Of Diets Fail - A little more explanation 

Why FatLoss4Idiots Works For So Many People

The dismal statistics about diets indicate that 95% of them fail miserably. People may manage to lose a little weight in the beginning of the diet, though most of it is just liquids and not fat, but most of them stop losing weight after a while, gain back what they lost and even more, so that they end up fatter than they were to begin with.

Why is it that most diets fail and what sort of diet should we use to avoid the same fate and achieve a fast and continuous weight loss?

The main reason why most diets fail is that they are based on a greatly reduced calorie intake and/or a total avoidance of a certain food group. A low calorie diet, and I have seen people go on 400 calories a day diets, causes your metabolism to slow down considerably and your body to burn less and less fat.

You see, the body protects itself because it thinks you're starving it.
When you stop the diet and start taking in more calories, your metabolism is still low and you gain much more fat. And besides, eating 400 calories a day is very hazardous to your health.

Those diets which tell you to stop eating a certain food group like no-carbs or no-protein diets, hurt the body because they deprive a necessary ingredient from it. They may be very dangerous to your well-being. Any weight loss achieved through them is of short term. What you need is a diet which lets you eat a reasonable amount of food with a certain supply of all necessary food groups that still helps you to lose weight.
A diet like Fat Loss 4 Idiots which is based on Shifting Calories is the best bet as it does not starve you but produces a fast and continuous weight loss.

The Calorie Shifting Diet - How Does Shifting Calories Work 

Why Does Calorie Shifting Work So Well

The Weight loss 4 idiots diet is based on the Shifting Calories method, so I thought it would be good to explain what this method is and why does it work so well.

The shifting calories method which is becoming very popular in the United States is a unique diet method which was developed in order to ensure a fast and continuous weight loss.

Why is that important? Because in contrary to other diet plans which may provide a short term weight loss, the Calorie Shifting Diet method ensures that you will not gain back the weight you have lost and that you will continue to lose more and more weight for weeks and months.

You will accomplish this weight loss without depriving yourself of necessary nutrients and without damaging your health as other diets may cause you to do.

The Calorie Shifting Diet method is based on changing what you eat from one day to the next. This keeps your metabolism high and gets your body to burn more fat faster. You do not starve yourself. You don't have to stop eating, you just have to follow the method.

Another aspect of this method is that because you keep changing what you eat, you're never bored with your food as with other diets. You don't have to eat a specific food group or to stop eating one.

That's why keeping to a Calorie Shifting diet is so much easier than keeping to other diets. You don't go hungry or get cravings for an entire food group. You can't eat junk food, of course, at least not as much as you like, but you do eat carbs, proteins, fruits, vegetables. You can create a menu based on the kind of food that you like and then you just shift it around.

The results are amazing.

I get emails every week from readers, telling me how much my review helped them (just read some of the Fat Loss 4 idiots testimonials at the bottom of this webpage).

I also get a lot of questions about this diet. In fact, I got so many questions over the past months, that I decided to write a special report about the Fat Loss For Idiots diet, just for the readers of this review, as a thank you gift from me for visiting this page.

Introducing: The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Support guide, a resource I created which answers the common questions I've been asked by countless users of the diet and also contains tips specifically for this diet which can help you maximize your weight loss.

Can You Really Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days With This Diet Plan? 

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet states that you can lose 9 lbs. in every 11 day cycle in which you use this diet (it's called a cycle because every 11 days the menu generating software gives you a new menu). What is the truth?

After hearing feebacks and talking with many men and women who've used www.weightloss4idiots.com, I'd say that the common weight loss is 7-10 lbs. every 11 days, but the avarage is 7-8 pounds. That means that on one cycle you might lose 6 pounds but 9 on the next.

I even had a feedback from one woman who lost 11 pounds in the 1st 11 days, but that is uncommon.

It's difficult to know in advance exactly how much you'll lose. It mainly depends on how well you follow the menu and guidelines of the diet. But think of it this way: Say you don't lose 9 lbs., say you lose 7. I think it's still a great weight loss rate.

And remember, how much you lose with www.fatloss4idiots.com is mainly up to you.

WeightLoss4Idiots For Vegetarians 

One of the most frequent questions I get from people is whether this diet works for vegetarians.

The answer is simply: Yes!!!.

Weight Loss 4 Idiots has a vegetarian version to its menu. Once you get to the online menu generator, you will be able to pick a vegetarian menu.

Maintaining Your Weight Loss With The Idiot Proof Diet 

Why is it so easy To Maintain Your Weight Loss With The Fatloss4idiots Diet?

Plenty of diets can get you to lose weight in the beginning. The trick is not re-gaining everything you lost and even more.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots, ensures that you will not regain all the lbs. that you lose.
It does so by two means: nutritional and psychological.

Most diets make you deprive yourself of a certain food group (like no-carb diets or low-carb diets). That can get you initial weight loss, but you will also gain it all back. And why? Because you will not be spending the rest of your life without eating carbs or eating so little of them as those diets prescribe.

Once the body is deprived of carbs, it will learn to hoard whatever carbs you put into it. It's an evolutional instinct. Once you start eating carbs again (it's unhealthy not to eat from all the major food groups), your body will put on weight. It will not burn what you put into it. It will store it. The same will happen with zero fat diets and so on.

By taking on a diet that lets you eat a balanced menu of all food groups, as fatloss4idiots does, you maintain a high metabolism and your body doesn't need to store any specific food group. That's the nutritional side of it.

Psychologically, it's hard sticking to most diets because they get you into a boring routine. You eat most of the same things every day. Imagine how dull your life becomes. But with fatloss4idiots.com you get to constantly change what you're eating, so you're not bored and you have no problem sticking to the diet and maintaining your weight loss.

So both nutritionally and psychologically, FatLoss4Idiots diet gets you to lose weight and to maintain your weight loss.

Weight Loss For Idiots for diabetics 

Can diabetics use this diet?

This is a difficult question to answer. Weight Loss 4 Idiots wasn't made specifically for people with diabetes (whether type 1 or type 2). However, some people who have diabetes have reported excellent results with the diet (you can read testimonials below).

If you're a diabetic and wish to try the program then go right ahead, but make sure to track your sugar levels throughout your use of the diet.

Beyond CaloriesDiet Review - Is It Worth Your While To Get The Beyond Calories Addition To The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet? 

What is Beyond Calories? - Beyond Calories Diet Review

Beyond Calories is the name of an additional fat loss resource
www.FatLoss4Idiots.com are offering.
Beyond Calories teaches you how to incorporate H.S. Foods into your diet and to boost your fat loss. It also includes further dieting tricks and tips.

There are 2 reasons why this resource is separated from the main Fat Loss For diet plan:

1. Losing fat fast with the regular Idiot diet package is so easy to accomplish that you don't need Beyond Calories in order for your diet to be successful.
2. In order to make FatLoss4Idiots more affordable for everyone.

Beyond Calories can accelerate your weight loss beyond what the Shifting Calories method and the menu generator can do alone, but it is not a must have product.

It will require some additional small effort on your part to incorporate H.S. Foods into your diet. I suggest you invest in Beyond Calories only if you are really, really committed to a pursuing a fast fat loss process. Otherwise, stick to the original diet plan.

Beyond Calories is only available to those who decide to use the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet.

You can read more about it on their website: Beyond Calories Diet

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review Final Note 

A personal note to those who want to lose weight with FatLoss4Idiots

Hi,
Thanks for reading this review. I wanted to write something personal to you, the reader who wants to lose weight.

I know how hard it is to lose weight. I was overweight myself. Thankfully, I decided to lose that weight and improve my appearance and health. Whenever it became tough, I set my mind on the goal and just kept going.

You can do the same. You too can become thin and look and feel better. It's all up to you.
Don't procrastinate. Start the change today.

You'll be happy you did.
Yours,
John

Hi 2fat4me,
As for the chicken, anyway but fried should work. Mixing milk with eggs doesn't sound too bad to me but you should test it. Some people do make substitutions. You can read great suggestions here: http://fatloss4idiotsforum.com.

Hi Caitlyn,
If you have a health condition, you must consult with a doctor before starting any diet. I also recommend consulting a youth dietician.
Other than that, and only after that, you should know that the diet requires a single payment for unlimited menus.

I have started with beyond calories, not the regular 4 idiots one. I needed to lose more, as I gained 44 pounds after menopause!! (I was thin all my life till then, even though I had six babies in six separate pregnancies!) I don't own a scale anymore, but I am at the end of day 4 of the Beyond Calories diet and all my clothing is already looser and I can bend over better. It is working! After age 50, nothing else had worked for me!! This seems to be doing the job!!

Hi New,
I'll try to answer your questions:
1. You do need to drink water on FatLoss4Idiots. Some people add a little artificial sweeteners to their water and so make it easier for them.
2. I can't say how much you need to lose. Only you can do that. Whatever it is, I have faith that you can do it. I'll be glad to help along the way.

Hi Sarah,

It's best to take 3 days as you give your body enough time to rest between cycles. Some people do take shorter cheating days period, but I don't recommend it. The weight should come off, but give it time.

is it ok to take 1 day off instead of 3 days if i really needed the pounds to drop fast? 3 days seems like a really long time!

Hi David,

The FatLoss4Idiots.com program gives you a menu with food that you choose from a long list of items. By following the menu you lose weight. However, rice isn't a part of the menu I'm afraid, but you should be able to get the food items at any market

Hi Karina,
I'm glad to see you're doing well. I don't know about the roasted peanuts. I don't like all the salt. I have a suggestion: mix one quarter roasted with 3 quarters unroasted. You'll still have the great taste but with less salt.

Also, remember that your body does need fat. You're not going to eat peanuts every day, so just follow the menu

Posted April 13, 2008

Hey Jonathan.. Today is my 7th day so far i think im doin good although i havent been on the scale yet, one of my meals were peanutes and kiwi fruits. Is it ok to have roasted peanuts that sre salted? plus peanuts are really fattening! im worried lol xx thanks

I am new on this diet that I just purchased.Sausage links does that mean also flavoured maple syrup sausage breakfast links or Italian sausage or hot dogs. For chicken could I have ground chicken or turkey instead of chicken breast. If you could specify I'd appreciate it. On veggies day could I make soup with all the veggies with chicken or veggie broth cube. Thank-you Jonathan

I have hopefully a simple question. If I download the diet from my work computer, will I be able to access the diet from home? Also, I need to know how user friendly the diet is. Will I be in the kitchen all the time cooking?

I would like to know if frozen yogurt is low fat yogurt ice cream and also in shrimp meal could I have shrimp cocktail and if not could I add horseradish in Ketchup and lemon since I could have those. Is Splenda o.k. and lastly how about spray butter while I am cooking chicken. Thanks

The 2.5 hours is a minimum. You can space out your meals further.

I recently bought this diet and it says to space it for at least 2 1/2 hrs does that mean I could space it for every 3 1/2 hrs for each meal,as long as I wait 2 1/2 hrs or do I have to eat every 2 1/2 hrs on schedule.

Hey im on my 2nd day of the first cycle. I am not over weight but since I have moved to London from Dubai for my university I have gained about 15 pounds that I would love to lose. I am 18 and 132 lbs and 5'4. I dont feel very confident in jeans and tshirts and would love to lose it. I have tried this diet once a year ago but didnt complete it coz my mother thought I was starting to look skinny sick! lol I am going to do 2 cycles before I go back to Dubai for summer. anywayz i have a Question. The diet is based on calorie shifting that changes every 3 days. How does that work? because it seems from my diet that there is no shifting in calories since i eat kind off the same type of foods everyday!

Hi Sonnakiz,

Yes, it is possible to have alcohol on the cheat days. I suggest you do it in moderation

Just wondering if you can have alcohol in moderation on cheat days?

Hi Robert,

I'm glad you're doing so well. Keep it up.

I am on the 4th day of my fourth cycle and I have lost 15 1/2 pounds. This diet is easy to stay on and not cheat, and I also lift weights. I have not lost any of my muscle, and as far as I can tell I have lost only fat, while building muscle.

I was wondering if you could switch around the foods in the four daily meals. For example, meal 1 is oatmeal and green beans, & meal 2 is fish and walnuts; can I put the walnuts with the oatmeal and the green beans with the fish instead? Cause ain't no way I'm eating oatmeal and green beans together..yuck!

Hi Vicky,
It's best not to diet while nursing. Wait for a while and then do the diet.

Posted March 27, 2008
Vicky

Well I am on day 9 of the second cycle and haven't lost a single pound. I must say I am very disapointed this round. I followed the diet. I had set a goal. I think I may have capped out which is surprising because I am not anywhere close to not being overweight.

Sad :(

Hi Lille,
Some find the Beyond calories diet to be easier.
However, the regular Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet is also great. The weight loss with BC varies from one person to the next but in my experience it's 5-7 pounds in 10 days

Hi Jonathan,

I just bought the Fat Loss 4 Idiots. But I cant decide if I should do the regular FL4I diet or do the Beyond Calories diet.

Do you happen to know what the average amount of weight in 10 days is lost on the Beyond calories diet?

Thanks!

Well, I am on day 9!! I have lost 6 pounds so far!!! I am so excited. Maybe I will lose 1 more by day 11. But I am happy either way. I can't wait to start my second cycle. Thanks John for all the help and encouragement you've given us all. I will return after my second cycle with new results!

Hi Lerator,
I'm totally blown away by how much weight you've lost with FatLoss4Idiots! You've broken a record. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad my Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review helped. Please post your experiences on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Forum.

Hi John

I'm from South Africa and I've just finished my first cycle and I've lost 6 Kg ( 13.22 lbs), I'm so happy. I think one of the factors that made me lose so much is because I drank an average of 30 glasses of water everyday for the whole cycle, trust me, it helps. I've been trying to lose weight for 3 years now and have failed. For the past 4 and a half months I've used one of America's most famous work-outs and didn't lose a single pound. I'd like to thank John for his contribution because had it not been for this site
I would not have bought this diet, the positive customer reviews encouraged me to buy this product. This is a revolutionary breakthrough and is the only diet that works in the world at this moment.

Hi Johnathan!!!

Thanks for responding! I have never heard of "frozen" yogurt until starting this diet. I went to the ice cream section in the grocery store and could not find any. Is it just regular yogurt put in the freezer??

Hi Try'n,
Don't worry about it. You should be fine

I began the diet 3 days ago. I know I shouldn't have, but I stepped on the scale; my nemisis in life. I lost 3 pounds (probably water). I don't get to my fourth meal until well after 2.5 hrs; almost like 4. Will this slower things for me??

Hi Stephen,
Your story really moved me. I'm glad that everything worked out so well for all of you.

I bought this diet plan and ran 2 cycles first time cycle 1 i lost 11lbs 2nd i lost 8. My dad needed to lose weight and i made up a plan for him he has just finished his first 11 days and lost 12lbs. But the best part about this purchase for me is a work mate who is really over weight. He recently went to the doctors to get some test results and was told if he did not lose weight he would die within 2 years. He was unable to do the low cal diet because he was hungry all the time. So i done him a cycle aswell. But he looked at the foods he could choose from and though there is no way you can lose weight on this. But after seeing me lose he decided to give it a try any way. He now works in a different division from me and he came to see me today to thank me. He started the cycle on Saturday and went on the scales before comming to work today. He was stunned 8lbs lost from Saturday. So you can say this diet may save a life. This diet is so easy and your never hungry wicked diet.

Hi Holly,
Thanks for sharing your Fat Loss 4 Idiots testimonial. I'm glad it's going so well for you. Enjoy the 3 cheating days and good luck with the next cycle

Hey John. Well I just completed 11 days of my 2nd cycle. I lost another 5.5 lbs. I am so pleased. That is a total of 12.75 lbs in 2 cycles ! I really only had the expectations of losing 5 pounds at a time. I am so happy. Anyone who comes across this diet I think will not be disappointed. Take care and I have a few more cycles I want to do. I will keep you posted with my results. Happy days ya'll! :)

Hi Holly,
You've done great and don't let a little fluctuation get you down. Fluctuations happen in any diet, Fat Loss 4 Idiots included

Posted February 24, 2008
Holly

Hi Jonathan,
I have done one vegetarian cycle and lost 7.25 lbs and it stayed off even with a night out of drinking beer! I am now on day 5 of a 2nd cycle and am down. I do have the bad habit of weighing everyday and noticed that fluctuation does occur. Therefore I will tell you how much my 2nd cycle total is when I finish! I will be trying the meat menu next. In all my experiences in dieting, I have found that meat eaters lose weight faster. I guess it's because of the lean protein in the meat. I am a big excerciser. I spurt run 2 miles a day and strenght train 3x's a week. I know I don't need to on this diet, but I was doing it before I found this wonderful program. I just wanted to share my success. I will keep you posted on the next results. I will be taking about a week off before I do the meat menu, but I will post those results too. I am so happy to find this program. It is truly the easiest diet I have EVER been on! Thanks!!!!!! :)

Hi Lindsey,
Your weight loss will be slower than for some people since you've got hardly anything to lose. However, it is possible for you to get to your weight goal within 1 cycle. I'll keep my fingers crossed. By the way, join us at the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Message Boards.

Jonathan,
Today is day 1 of my very first cycle. I'm 32, 5'4",118-120lbs, w/ 19% body fat. I'd like to be in the range of 115-118. Do you think I'll still achieve results given that I'm pretty close to my target weight? What type of results should I expect?

Hey Jonathan, I was wonder what Red Veggies are considered in the Bowl of Green and Red Vegetables. I can only think of Tomatoes and red Bell Peppers how about radishes or Beets. I am drawing a blank

I don't see where anyone posted that they loss weight with beyond calories. Is it better to do the other diet.

Hi Sandy K,
The cheat days provide your body with a rest from the diet, and also allow you to better stick to the diet mentally. They are a part of the diet, and it's best to stick as close to the diet rules as possible

Posted February 19, 2008
JonathanD

Hi hopeful,
Read the previous blurbs and you'll find some by people who used Beyond Calories

Is it necessary to have the cheat days and if you don't will you lose more weight?

Hey John,
I'm back from vacation. I lost 5 lbs 1/2way through my 2nd cycle. Remember I was doing the general plan and not the generated one due to travel. I'm on day 7 of cycle 2 and I think I'll try a generated one next time. It's 'only' 5 lbs, but I broke the 150 'barrier' that I couldn't seem to break through for a year or more! Also, my clothes are fitting MUCH looser so go figure. It's all good.
I like to read the blurbs here so I hope people will continue to post.
Thanks again, John.
Lenore

Hi Lee,
Thanks for writing. I'm glad to see that the diet is going so well for you. I just couldn't understand whether you lost 10 pounds or 13. You're also welcome to post your experiences in the new FatLoss4IdiotsForum.com.

Posted February 16, 2008

Hi Sproutakiss,
I'm glad that everything worked out and that you're feeling well. The most I heard someone lose with FatLoss4Idiots is 75 pounds, and a short while ago, a woman posted here that she lost 32 pounds and she was still going. Don't afraid to be ambitious. Without ambition there is no achievement. By the way, check back in a couple of days since I will have big news for all the users of the diet. It'll be on Monday at the latest

5 Tips To Lose Weight 

In order to lose more weight with the Idiot's Diet, I suggest you follow these 5 tips:

  1. Weigh yourself only at the end of each cycle. Weighing yourself too often can only lead to disappointment, since you will not see any difference in your weight each time.

  2. Drink a lot of water. At leat 8 glasses each day

  3. Walk in the evenings. A 30 minute walk 3 times a week can work wonders for your body.

  4. Don't compare yourself to other people. Be happy with your own weight loss. There will always be someone somewhere who has an easier time with the diet

  5. Enlist the help of your friends and family. They will help you avoid temptation and to stick to the diet

Now it's all up to you. You can lose your excessive weight and become thin and attractive. I have faith in you.
