Fat Loss 4 Idiots

By Carol | July 18, 2008

This is a dieting system which claims to be so simple that any idiot can follow it and lose fat – hence the title, which will catch your eye if nothing else.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots also claims that you can lose up to 9lb every 11 days by following their system. This classes as extreme weight loss, and caution should be taken, even though it’s unlikely that you’d actually lose that much weight that fast.

When you sign up, you fill in a form giving foods that you like. I suggest you don’t put down burgers and pepperoni pizza! The online diet calculator then produces you 11 days’ worth of meals, all calorie and fat counted, so you’ll never have to agonise over what to have for tea. This will cost you $20. The accompanying handbook giving lots of fat-loss tips will set you back another $19, but is full of good ideas regarding motivation and exercise to keep you reducing.

This diet is said to work on the basis of releasing fat-burning hormones within your body, so the food that you eat is burnt up rather than stored as fat. Also, because the meals change regularly within your 11 days, your metabolism is kept guessing what you’ll eat next – but the foods that you eat have to be “Fat-Burning compatible”.

In Real-speak, this is a reduced-calorie, low GI diet. Low GI foods are all the good-for-you items like brown rice, beans and pulses, oatmeal, lots of vegetables and fruit. Combine these foods with lean meat or fish, in moderate portions 4 times a day as instructed, lose the fries and candy, do some exercise, and even the World’s Greatest Idiot is bound to lose weight.

I think I’ll go and sign up right now. :)
