FatLoss4Idiots Review

You may have heard of a new diet plan known as "Fat Loss For Idiots". What is it all about? What makes this diet different than all the other diet plans out there? What are the key features of this diet? How do you follow it? What can you eat? What can you not eat? How much can you eat? How quickly can you lose weight on this diet? Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about this diet:

What is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet?

Fat Loss 4 Idiots differs from other mainstream "reduction diets" such as "low-fat", "low-carbohydrate", and "low-calorie" diets. Rather than focusing on reducing any of these elements from your diet, you are following the principle of what is known as "calorie shifting".

Ok, so what is "calorie shifting"?

Rather than reducing the number of the types of calories you take into your body, you are shifting them from meal to meal. In other words, you will be eating carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and basically foods from each of the four food groups at different times of day, and you are rotating your intake of these foods across different meals over the course of several days - eleven days to be exact. The Fat Loss For Idiots diet is followed in eleven-day cycles.

What foods can I eat or not eat on this diet?

While you are on the Fat Loss For Idiots diet you will be eating food from all four food groups. You will not be avoiding any fats or carbohydrates.

How much can I eat on this diet?

The emphasis of this diet is not on calorie restriction. Hence, you will not be counting calories. You will be eating as much as you like until you are satisfied. In fact, you will be required to eat four full meals per day.

Why should I follow this diet and not a low-carb, low-fat, or low-calorie diet?

Have you ever followed a diet plan, only to give into temptation because you can no longer bear the thought of not eating bread, or because you are still feeling hungry because you are on a low-calorie diet? On this diet, the key motivation is that you can eat whatever foods you want, but you have to shift the types of food you eat across meals.

How does the calorie shifting diet plan work?

When you follow a diet such as a low-calorie diet, you will lose a good amount of weight initially, but over time, your rate of weight loss decreases. This is because your body senses that it is being fed less, and thus, it goes into "starvation" mode and your body's metabolism automatically slows down to compensate for the reduction of food. So even though you are eating less food, your body will consume the food at a more inefficient rate, thus slowing down the rate at which your calories are burned.

In the case of the calorie shifting diet, however, you will be triggering a metabolic response in your body that induces rapid weight loss. You may wonder then what is the difference between the calorie shifting diet and a low-carbohydrate diet, since the latter is known to yield rapid weight loss results as well.

How is the effectiveness and level of ease in following the calorie shifting diet plan?

The fact of the matter is, that most people lose their motivation to remain on the diet because they feel deprived. Though you may be committed to your weight loss goal, you might find it very difficult to follow this type of diet for an extensive period of time since it involves fighting your cravings for carbohydrate foods. With the calorie-shifting diet, you will be eating four full meals a day, and you will be eating as much as you want until you are satisfied. You will be eating something from all four major food groups on a rotational basis every day in eleven-day cycles. Thus you will feel more motivated to maintain this diet, since you need not worry about food deprivation.

How much weight loss will I achieve? How rapidly will I lose weight?

Typically, you can expect to lose as many as 9 pounds for every eleven days that you adhere to this diet plan.

How do you maintain your goal weight once you have reached it?

As with other diets that yield rapid weight loss results, the calorie shifting diet is not intended to be followed as a lifetime diet plan for maintaining your weight. Good healthy eating guidelines plus a regular exercise regime should be followed, in order to maintain your weight. (These are the things you should have been doing that prevented the weight gain in the first place!)
