Fat Loss 4 Idiots review for sensible people

Fat Loss 4 Idiots -- is it just for idiots, or does it deserve to be bought and used by sensible people?

It's hard to get plain information about Fat Loss 4 Idiots

because its affiliates tend to describe it in glowing terms as though it were perfect for everyone, or else give it a hard-sell spin – 'Stay Fat – Don't Buy This', 'I Didn't Believe It, Now I Do', etc.

It's not the right diet for everyone. You need to know a little bit about yourself and your eating habits before believing any hype.

Sales formula
After reading reviews, summaries, recipes, forum feedback etc I'm fairly confident the Fat Loss 4 Idiots sales formula is: be cheap (and refundable), be simple, make it sound revolutionary while sticking to known and proven methods, and make it workable or we won't keep selling. Which at $40 works out as a reasonable deal for a consumer who wants a diet that will get short-term results. But while Fat Loss 4 Idiots will probably help you lose weight quickly, it will not necessarily help you to keep the weight off in the medium and longer term.

Overview
Fat Loss 4 Idiots is basically a short-term dieting technique working on the principle that if you concentrate on foods that encourage weight loss (they talk a lot about hormones), and if you eat different examples of these food types regularly in a cycle (they talk a lot about different types of calories), the body is obliged to lose weight. It's a new(ish) interpretation of mainstream dieting know-how albeit a lot less wacky than some of the ideas out there.

The basic foodstuffs on the diet are lean protein, vegetables, fruit, some complex carbohydrates, small amounts of dairy and eggs and 'days off' or 'cheats'. These are eaten at particular times of day, and cycled to 'confuse the body into losing weight'. Moderate (not strenuous) exercise such as walking is recommended, along with drinking plenty of fluids. So far, it is common-sense healthy living laid out in an 'idiot-proof' formula, without deprivation. (No going hungry.)

Program
The program promises results (loss of up to 9lb) by sticking to the diet for 11 days during which you eat four meals per day until satisfied … not 'full'. Bear in mind that any extremely rapid initial weight loss will likely be fluid, not fat. After 11 days, you take three days off the diet (a bit like Body for Life), again, to 'confuse' the body into thinking it's not dieting. You can then start another 11 days of diet. In theory, it can be continued indefinitely, but it's not the easiest lifestyle to maintain. You could use Fat Loss 4 Idiots to lose weight rapidly and then make some educated lifestyle changes to keep the weight off. But I would not recommend Fat Loss 4 Idiots as a long-term or a total solution, only as part of an ongoing solution which might work for you.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots on-line meal-plan generator is helpful – the hardest part of many diets is working out what to buy and eat which you'll actually enjoy. The diet also features a book of information, tips, etc. There are additional offers featured on the sales pages.

It requires some discipline on the program to eat the right foods at the right times, but Fat Loss 4 Idiots doesn't require you to starve, replace lots of meals with shakes or take pills. You can drink wine, eat vegetarian and various other options. The cycle includes a 'fruit-only' day which some people have trouble with; it's a bit like fasting for a day as fruit is not very filling. The rest of the time the main danger seems to be the usual monotony of being on any diet. It's a good idea to take full advantage of the meal-planning and grocery-shopping resources that come with the package, and to investigate forums etc which will offer ideas and experience from people already using the diet.

Cost
Fat Loss 4 Idiots costs around $40, which makes it a relatively cheap option for an organized diet plan. In that it's basically a sensible diet at a low price, it provides value (if you follow the program). Some might reasonably argue that you could organise the same program for yourself for free, but then many people want a diet laid out for them which makes things simpler.

If you purchase this product, you'll almost certainly get it through Clickbank, which provides a 60-day money-back guarantee (from date of purchase). The long success of Fat Loss 4 Idiots suggests that many people are finding it workable (or that it is being sold very hard, or both). That doesn't make it the perfect diet for you – but at least now you might know more about it, and that puts you in a better position to compare, evaluate and then decide.
