Fat Loss 4 Idiots - Editorial & User Reviews

It really does work

I am 44 years old with 4 sons. I have been more than 100 pounds overweight since I became a mother 25 years ago. I tried every diet out there and none of them worked because I got bored with them and lost interest. I wanted to try something different so I started my web search and came across fatloss4idiots. After reading what it had to say I decided to purchase it, and what a difference it made. I lost 8 1/2 pounds after the first rotation. I am now on the second rotation and after one week I am down another 5 pounds. I printed out 6 meal plans for me, and each one is different. I am actually excited about starting the next rotation because of the groups my food are in. There are 7 women and 1 man I work with that are now on this diet also. Others I work with are starting to show interest too. What makes this diet work is that I don't have to try to plan out what my meals are going to be. The Diet Generator tells me exactly what I can have on what day in what meal. I wish I would have found this diet years ago. But better late then never...

You Really Can Do This

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is Idiot Proof. I hate cooking. I hate complicated recipes. I love eating. Duh! I’m sick to death of dieting, but know in my heart that I am not willing to consistently make ‘good choices’ for calories, points or whatever, without some sort of uncomplicated guide. I’m a lower-carb fan, due to ‘iffy’ blood sugar issues (Don’t freak! Fat Loss 4 Idiots is NOT a truly low-carb diet), but I found the lack of fruit on a typical low-carb diet somewhat worrisome (also...I like oatmeal and beans), plus I stalled at 40 pounds with 40 to go. Bummer. Choose 15 foods from each column to ‘design’ your menu and Fat Loss 4 Idiots incorporates enough fruits and vegetables, by default, to fluster into silence even the most critical critic. It’s tailor-made for the night nibbler (moi) - 4 meals a day means I can eat in the evening (as I read it). Most diets tell you to stop eating after 8:00 pm and fast for 12 hours. At that point, a diet is simply over for me. Can’t sleep if I’m hungry, so a light meal around 9:00 or 10:00 pm is the only way to go for me. And frankly, I save the ‘sweeter’ meal (with fruit) for that time, when I’m tired, bored and cranky and sweet cravings kick in. I know it’s not wise, but dernit, it works for me and keeps me moving forward. I buy my vegetables and fruits at a stand, which is always cheaper (not the grocery store where everything’s pretty, but the prices are out of this world!), so I actually Save Money on Fat Loss 4 Idiots. Drawbacks: 9 pounds in 11 days? Maybe. But probably not consistently if you have several 11-Day diets to go through to reach your goal – but don’t let that stop you!!! No No No! 9 pounds in 11 days is always retained water anyway. Get over it; No support (it’s idiot proof – what don’t you get?!); Menu overly simple (easily overcome by a triple digit IQ capable of incorporating a couple of simple recipes into the plan to overcome the inevitable boredom – e.g. cook a bit pot of ratatouille for cooked veggie variety and refrigerate/freeze in portions) – you’re not really an idiot are you?; Recommends walking as the best exercise for fat loss (true... although I do believe it wise to incorporate a little weight lifting to reduce saggy skin syndrome and burn up some of the more than ample protein in Fat Loss 4 Idiots). Temptation on 3-day cheat (Hellooooh! Eat what you’re craving, but keep the calories and portions down on your 3-day cheat! Have a piece of pizza, not the whole darn thing...order Chinese, but skip the buffet...put your half cup of ice cream in a custard cup, don’t eat it out of the carton! Use Your Common Sense. And on Day 4, shut up your negative self-talk and start another 11-day diet!) Bottom Line: It Works. Healthy. Balanced. Simple. Cheap. Super easy to follow – few decisions to make and the grocery list is exactly what you plug into the ‘diet designer’. If I somehow ‘lost’ the diet, I’d buy it again. Oh...and yes, I’m losing weight at an acceptable rate.

Ineffective Diet!!!

I have paid for this diet because i was very impressed on the testimonials, not knowing that it won't work for me. I finished the 11-day diet menu but to my surprise, i only lost 2 lbs!! Now i'm on my 2nd day cheat period and that 2lbs i gained again!! how can they say this diet will work for everybody when me, myself follow the rules strictly is not losing any unwanted fats?????????? such a disgrace to the founder of this diet!!!!!!!!!

Wow...what a fabulous way to lose!!

I am 45 years old, with three children, and during the last six months, I have had a hard time trying to lose the 20 pounds I need to lose, before my metabolism REALLY slows down!

I was looking online at a very popular and successful diet plan, about to buy into the plan, when I read a comment about how that particular diet plan is "ripping people off" by selling a "word", because people are too lazy to do their own math, and figure out the path to weight loss themselves. OK, she got my attention. She then suggested two or three websites to check out, before I made a decision. So I did.

One of them was "fatloss4idiots.com". Worth a try. I read what they had to say, agreed with their philosophy, and bought the plan for $39. Wow! I have lost a fast 5 pounds in six days, and it is so easy. Aside from being very satisfied with the plan, which is so easy to follow, I feel that my whole way of looking at food has changed. I make a point to enjoy every bite, and I move on. I am confident that when my 11 days is over, and it's time for my three "cheat" days, I will stay pretty close to the way I have learned to eat. I am ready to make a lifetime committment to my health and my body, so I never have to hate the way I look. Ever again!

I recommend everyone who has struggled to try this product...and try to stay off the scale for the first few days. It does take a few days for your body to adjust...then enjoy the ride!

My Sister Helen is my inspiration

As the title suggests Helen, my sister(see review further down)is my inspiration. I LOVE this diet. I just started 11 days ago and lost 4lbs. At first I was disappointed, but realize that weight loss takes time. I love the fact that I can choose what I want to eat and in what portions. I find this way of eating and explanation to the point, easy to follow and realistic.

My sister has now lost over a 100lbs and looks absolutely AMAZING if she can do it so can I. I plan on staying on this nutritional program until I reach my goal weight which is now 140lbs away!!!

Thanks

Mia

I look better and feel healthier

The techniques described in Fat Loss 4 Idiots are really simple and straight forward, but it's really nice to have them all written down. I've been implementing the techniques described in here for the past 2 months and I've already noticed a major difference in my appearance - I've lost lots of excess flab and I look far better than I did before. I'm now really excited about how much I can lose in future.

Really good advice - well worth the money

I bought Fat Loss 4 Idiots cause it was cheap and I'm really glad I did. It was really easy to read and easy to do lots of the things that this book said I should do to lose weight. So far so good - I'm losing fat around my face and stomach and feel better for it.

I absolutely LOVE the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet!

I absolutely LOVE the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet!  It's helped me to easily drop 25 pounds in three short months.  It's so easy to follow and the food choices are mine to make from the diet generator.  I especially love the three day "cheat" period where I can satisfy my food cravings and be ready to jump back on the eleven day diet again.  I'm never hungry, I don't feel like I'm dieting, and the weight is dropping off with ease.  All my friends think I've had the very popular lap band surgery because of how fast the weight came off.  My sister had the surgery and I competed against her for weight loss and so far, I've got her beaten by three pounds and look at all the money I've saved from NOT having the lap band!  Thank you for a very wonderful and easy Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet!!!  It has literally "saved my life"!

I give this plan 5 stars PLUS!

I don't think I've ever written anything positive about a diet in my life. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Plan has really really worked for me. The first 11 days I was never hungry and lost 8 lbs. I didn't care too much for the menu I selected, but I wasn't hungry. The 3 days off is when I got so hungry and it was hard to not overeat. I went right back on the plan and lost another 8 lbs. I am drinking the 8 glasses of water a day, but I don't do the brisk walking. It's 112 degrees here in AZ, I'm not walking around! I feel better on the diet than off. To me, it's worth not just $27, but $127. It really works! I give this plan 5 stars PLUS!

Fantastic diet

This is the best diet I have every done. In 18months I have lost Lbs80,5stone or 36Kilos. It is wonderfull to see the pounds dropping off everyday. There are another 30 kilos to go but I know it can be done with this. The most I lost in 11 days was Lbs13. This is the first time I have ever continued to loose weight or have stuck to a diet for so long a period. A wonderful find. Thanks very much.

It really works!!!

I have been on the diet for 6 days and i have lost 5lbs and 2 inches around my waist. I do not walk but hopefully will start. The diet is really great, but eating the same foods gets old but it is worth it in the end.

First 11 Days for 60 year old.

I have lost 4 pounds. I probably only drank half of the water. I ate anything I wanted today, but realized it did not taste as good as I thought it would. I also ate a bit too much in the beginning of the diet, so I really understand to leave a bit hungry, then 10 minutes later, you are not hungry at all. This is a very balanced diet so I am sticking to it and drinking more water. My exercise is moderate. If you don't drink pop, you will learn to love the water. I am very happy. I have hypoglycemia so eating every 2 and 1/2 hours is great.

A diet that doesn't feel like a diet

USE THIS DIET!! I was skeptical but purchased it anyway. I've tried them all. Once I got into the routine of having the right foods around and followed the plan, I did loose 9 pounds in 11 days! I couldn't believe it! I was rarely hungry, and if I was, I simply drank any of the accepted liquids and the hunger was gone. Many times when we feel hungry, we are really thirsty.

I only did one 11 day segment of the diet, and have only gained back 2lbs. in 6 months! So, I am starting the regime again and will probably lose even more this time.

When I say I have tried everything short of starving to loose weight - I mean it. This diet works. It is healthy and it doesn't feel like a diet. I cannot recommend the Fat Loss for Idiots enough if you are having problems loosing that weight!

I've fallen into a black hole

I don't like to be taken. I don't usually buy products where the sponsor does not provide a street address (as opposed to a PO Box or email address), or a toll free phone number (as opposed to a long distance phone number to Hawaii or India), but when I went through the pitch (before buying) there was an address associated with the diet and with "Clikbank") which I printed out (and unfortunately might have to use if what I suspect will happen actually does---but I'm getting ahead of myself).

I bought the diet, printed out the pdf, then went to the diet generator and printed out a "regular" diet (because I eat fish, but not meats) and a "Vegetarian diet" as well. I made sure NOT to choose any fruit, as I have been diagnosed by my MD as insulin resistant, and was banned from eating fruit. Did that stop the diet generator, which is supposed to combine the foods you will eat, and have personally checked off, from coming up with one day out of the 11 day cycle when they listed ONLY FRUIT to eat for that day (no veggies or other carbs, and of course, no protein).This is a problem for me, because as an almost vegetarian, my diet is restrictive already. Then as someone who is forbidden to eat fruit, I have very little left to choose from, and cannot eat off of the customized plan from the diet generator at all!

So, I have decided to eat from the general guideline list, which I can do only because I am extremely disciplined and never cheat on diets. I tried to contact fat loss 4 idiots, and have not heard beack from them--it has been days now and no response.

Here is the second problem. I decided to generate another diet, and tried to access the "regular" diet generator, but for some reason, now my computer can only access the vegetarian version---barring me from half the diet options and half the use of the diet generator. I have just sent a second email, complaining about this problem.

This may be a scam. I don't know yet. I have an extremely supressed metabolism, and have been under doctors and a nutritionists care, at great expense. So far, no one had suggested this theory of varying carbohydrates and proteins in order to fool your metabolism and "set point". Since I've only been on the diet a few days, I haven't seen any results yet. This is a last resort for me, since I eat healthily and exercise, and no matter what, I can't lose weight. This has been a lifelong problem. I have no appetite issues, I understand nutrition and am not an idiot, but maybe I was one for buying this diet. Time will tell. Good luck trying to contact anyone once you've pressed "submit" for your order!

I Really Lost Weight

I was really looking for help in losing weight. In May of 2006 I read,"Lose 9lbs in 11 days." I thought, I've got to try it. I paid the $27 dollars, and I lost 15 pounds my first 11 days. And in 6 weeks I lost a total of 30 lbs. When ever I see that I'm gaining weight now, I get back on the diet and I lose 3lbs per day.

I must have been an idiot!!!

I am very disappointed in this diet. I was very excited to start it and I followed it without cheating at all. I thought I lost about 4 lbs(which is less that the 9 that they claim you'll lose), but realistically, not everyone is going to lose 9 lbs and I knew that. However, I am on the 3 day off time and am already back to my original weight in one day, less a couple of ounces. I was ready to start it again, but now see that it doesn't work, at least not for me.

The Easist Diet Ever!

I am NOT a dieter! I never had a weight problem until I had children in my mid-thirties. Now, 50, I noticed my metabolism has slowed down significantly. I was surfing the net to find weight loss programs and found fat loss 4 idiots! The title intrigued me. It is absolutely the easiest diet ever! You don't get hungry;you eat 4 meals a day (as much as you want until you're satisfied, not full) and you lose weight!! I just completed the 11 day diet and to tell you the truth, didn't follow it exactly. I had a hockey tournament to go to one weekend and didn't eat what I was supposed to. I didn't think much about the diet at the end of 11 days, but decided to step on the scale anyway. To my surprise, I lost 7 lbs. I wiil start the diet again in three days. I went back to exercising as well. Kudos to the "Idiots" who try this diet and succeed! I does work and is very inexpensive compared to others. Thank you, so much for helping me.

Well worth the Effort!

Three cheers for this Diet!! I am now on my 2nd 11 day plan and am so very excited about my results. I have been on weight watchers for many years with very slow results and had finally reached a standstill on weight loss. this diet truly boosted my metabolism into full gear right away. I did not feel hungry as I did while on WW, and the foods are nothing short of great tasting healthy meals! Energy levels have increased. These healthy eating habits would surely benefit anyone at any weight!

Wonderful it does work

Hello, I'm Valerie from Mauritius. I started this diet two weeks ago. and i can assure you all that it does really work. In the first three days i lost 6 pounds and it is wonderful coz i never had such results in any other diets i've tried so long. I have about 15 more kgs to go and i'm lookin forward to lose it in the next 2 coming months. I'm starting another eleven days today and as soon as i finish i'll give you another feed back. I really think this diet works. two of my friends are starting this diet today with me and i'll give you the three results in eleven days.
