The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet is a calorie shifting program that allows you to eat the foods you love and still lose weight. The diet is also been known as the Idiot Proof Diet and the 11-Day Diet and promises you'll lose nine pounds every 11 days. The diet is available online for $39 and comes with a 60 day money-back guarantee.
Differences From Other Diets
The creators of the program maintain that this diet works because it allows people to eat a wide variety of foods they like rather than a predetermined meal plan. This is meant to keep you from being bored or unsatisfied with your meals and cheating on the diet. The program also factors in days where you can eat whatever you like so that you never feel deprived. The program also gives you access to a Calorie Shifting Generator that creates your menus so you don't have to do any planning or calorie counting yourself.
Calorie Shifting Generator
The Calorie Shifting Generator is an online meal planner that includes a long list of approved foods. Once you log on to the generator, you can choose up to 30 types of foods you like to eat. The generator then works out a specific 11-day diet plan for you based on the foods you've chosen and your calorie needs. After 11 days on the plan, you have three days where you can eat whatever you like, and then you can log on to the generator again and create a new plan.
Calorie Requirements
While many diets ask you to decrease your calorie intake, creators of this diet point out that low calorie diets slow down your metabolism and cause you to burn fewer calories. Instead, they advocate eating four meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism burning calories all day long. The key to eating more food and still losing weight is to eat the right types and combinations of food at different times in the day.
Approved Foods and Drinks
There are 46 approved foods on this diet. The list is made up mainly of lean proteins such as chicken, fish, eggs or cheese, fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal. You are also allowed to drink diet sodas, coffee, tea or other calories with fewer than 10 calories. You must drink 10 glasses of water every day. Once your meal plan is generated, you can eat the meals in any order you like, as long as you separate them by at least 2 1/2 hours.
The 11-Day Formula
Day one of the plan includes a large selection of foods. The second day contains mainly fruits. Days three to seven focus on protein, while day eight includes only vegetables. Days nine through 11 are made up of an equal amount of proteins and carbohydrates. After 11 days, you are allowed to eat whatever you like for three days, as long as you only eat until you feel satisfied, not until you feel full. You can then begin the diet again with the same foods or log on to the generator and create a new menu based on different food choices.
