Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Claims

Fat Loss 4 Idiots claims that:

• People following the plan can lose up to nine pounds in 11 days.
• People are overweight as a result of eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories at each meal, and the wrong pattern of meals.
• By following the Fat Loss 4 Idiots 14 day 'calorie shifting' regime, you can lose weight without starving yourself or feeling deprived.

What It Involves

In order to lose weight, according to Fat Loss 4 Idiots, you must eat the right foods at the right intervals each day. By doing this, you control the release of fat burning hormones after each meal - and thus ensure that your body produces more fat burning hormones and less fat storing hormones. In practice, this means eating more than three meals a day, and also changing the types of food you eat for the first 11 days. This is the process of 'calorie shifting', where by eating different calorie types (carbs, proteins, fats) each day, you confuse your body into speeding up its metabolic rate, thus burning fat more quickly.

You follow the calorie shifting regime for 11 days, then have three days where you eat what you like, then begin the cycle again.

Features - What You Get & What Fat Loss 4 Idiots Can Do For You

The core features of Fat Loss 4 Idiots:

	The Fat Loss 4 Idiots plan doesn't involve calorie counting or portion restriction, so you'll be able to eat as much as it takes to feel satisfied, and not feel deprived.
	The plan includes an online Diet Generator, which makes meal planning very simple - you just add in the foods you like, and the software creates a menu for you. It has vegetarian options too.
	If you want to lose weight quickly (not always a good idea), this plan works well, at least in the initial weeks, and you may be able to lose 9 pounds in the first 11 days.
	There is a lot of leeway when it comes to food choices, so Fat Loss 4 Idiots can be a healthy plan if you choose to eat well.
	You can also find numerous weight loss articles on the website if you want to expand your knowledge beyond the book. There are reviews of other diet programs too, although these are perhaps not unbiased.

Ease of Use

Many people appear to have found this plan easy to follow, although we believe that it could be problematic on the calorie shifting days for those who need to travel or eat out a lot, as you are restricted in terms of the types of foods you eat. On the plus side, you don't need to bother with all the weighing and measuring that some diets involve, and the three days in each 14 day period where you eat freely are obviously easy to do.

Our research on Fat Loss 4 Idiots suggests:

Based on the online reaction to Fat Loss 4 Idiots, this seems to be a very popular plan, that has enabled a significant number of people to lose weight quickly and easily. Some of this success appears to be the result of how easy the plan is to stick with, since it doesn't involve calorie counting or the restriction of major food groups.

However, it remains to be seen how many of the people who successfully lose weight with Fat Loss 4 Idiots manage to keep it off for life, and we believe that Fat Loss 4 Idiots is perhaps best used to get your weight loss efforts underway, but is not ideally suited to use as a long term maintenance regime.

Verdict

Good Points: 

• On the plus side, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is clear that there is no need to eat restrictive diets such as low carb diets, low fat diets or very low calorie diets, rightly pointing out that low calorie diets cause the metabolism to slow, that people are getting fatter despite eating low-fat diets, and that low carb diets often cause a drop in energy levels, and can be difficult to stick to for long.
• Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes with a Diet Generator which makes meal planning very easy. And there is also a special vegetarian Diet Generator too, which is nice to see, as many popular diets do not cater specifically for vegetarians.
• This can be a healthy diet if you make good food choices.
• This plan provides a great way to kick start your weight loss effort, as you can lose an encouraging amount of weight quite quickly. By the same token, it could be a good choice for those who just have a few pounds to lose for a special event and need to do it in a short space of time.

Bad Points: 

Some people might not like the following aspects of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program:

• Exercise is not a feature of this plan, and the authors are actually quite disparaging about the importance of exercise, claiming that people don't get fat because of a lack of exercise - but it is a fact that overweight is caused by taking in more calories than are expended, and exercise can obviously play an important role in the expenditure side of the equation.
• Fat Loss 4 Idiots also contends that you must eat certain foods at certain intervals each day, and that if you don't, you body won't burn those calories - this is a highly debatable claim.
• The program seems to be sold largely on the basis of its ability to enable very fast weight loss, but this is not sustainable over the long term for most people (and can be physically and psychologically unhealthy too). Although in fairness, the authors do state that anyone who is losing more than a pound per day should slow down with the diet.
• The frequent changes in meal types that the calorie shifting plan involves might not work well for some people, especially those who feel more energised when eating a regular, stable kind of diet that doesn't vary a lot.
• The calorie shifting aspect of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet also makes it fairly rigid, and not everyone will be in circumstances that make it easy to accommodate this (for example, those who travel or eat out a lot).

Overall:

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a very popular plan, and while we have some doubts about the principles behind the calorie shifting system, it is undeniable that it has worked well for many people. It does involve quite a change from 'normal' eating patterns, so some might find that aspect challenging, but it is easy enough to understand and follow with a little commitment. You can certainly lose weight quickly and easily with Fat Loss 4 Idiots, and it can be healthy too if you make good food choices, although if you want to keep the weight off permanently, you'll still need to figure out a long term plan that works for you (assuming that you don't want to follow the 14 day calorie shifting cycle for the rest of your life!).
