Probably the biggest claim to fame of Fat Loss 4 Idiots is the name. It’s kind of stupid, insanely catchy and easy to tell
other people. Based in large part on that and some very focused, very clever marketing, Fat Loss 4 Idiots has sold a ton of copies in a very short time. But the real question is does Fat Loss 4 Idiots actually work? Can you lose weight on it, and is it safe?
Number Can Be Deceptive
The diet claims that you can lose up to nine pounds in eleven days, which is probably true for some people, although the number is slightly deceptive. If you’re a fairly large person, you can expect to drop a fair amount of weight in the first eleven days or so. This is because Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a low carb program, and a universal feature of low carb dieting is an initial dumping of water weight.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots is built around fourteen day diet cycles, where you spend eleven days on the diet and then three days cheating, basically eating whatever you want. You keep repeating these cycles until you’ve lost the weigh that you want. This is somewhat unique structure, but Fat Loss 4 Idiots does have a few tricks that you might not have seen.
One of these is calorie shifting, which is built on the theory that your body will adapt to certain calories ranges and stop burning fat. What Fat Loss 4 Idiots does is switch the amount of calories you eat and when you eat them, under the theory that this will keep your body guessing and accelerate your weight loss.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots also includes an online menu generator. Basically you punch in some personal details, and the system will spit out a diet for you. The diets aren’t fancy, but this is a very handy way to do things, and lots of people will find it to be extremely handy.
Nothing New
Other than that, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a pretty standard low carb diet focusing on lean proteins, natural fats and vegetables. This is a proven system for losing weight, and while it’s not new, it is effective.
Another big benefit of Fat Loss 4 Idiots is that it’s laid out to be pretty simple, and it’s actually entertaining to read, with a breezy style and cartoons to help you through it. Nothing mind blowing here, but it will be effective for many people.
