For those who don't like exercise, this is for you. As much as we know that exercise is good for our health and for weight loss, there are people who still don't care much doing any exercise or physical activity. For those who don't like to exercise or prefer not to indulge in any physical activity, then Fat Loss 4 Idiots is for you. Fat Loss 4 Idiots does not go much into exercise nor do they promote this as a way to hasten weight loss.

Very inexpensive relative to other diet programs. Fat Loss 4 Idiots is one of the most inexpensive diet programs that you will find in the market today simply because you only pay for access to the ebook and the online diet generator. There is no monthly fee to access Fat Loss 4 Idiots, just a one-time fee. While other weight loss diet programs in the market can cost you in the hundreds (or even thousands), Fat Loss 4 Idiots is relatively cheap. Your other out-of-pocket costs will be for the food that you prepare yourself.

Not a clinically proven diet but .... One of the major issues that we have concerning Fat Loss 4 Idiots is the absence of clinical studies or proof that this diet really works. We still have to find some credible resource or research work to show that the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet can really result or induce weight loss.

There is proof though that the theory of calorie shifting is an accepted theory that is being used by certified medical weight loss practitioners. Although not really referred to as calorie shifting, other weight loss programs use the concept in the design of their meal plans. For example, one of the most effective and increasingly popular home-delivery diets in the United States, Bistro M.D. (Editor's Choice), uses the concept of calorie shifting in the design of their meal plans. They design meals with an average calorie count of 1,200 a day. They stress "average", because some of the meals can be above or below this average. They reason that it has been medically proven that if you stick to a strict intake of 1,200 calories a day, your body gets used to it making it harder and harder each week to lose weight. By varying — increasing or decreasing — the calories on a day-to-day basis, your body and metabolism does not get a chance to get used to a particular level, which in turn makes losing weight more effective.

If you prefer to be on a clinically proven weight loss diet program, then we highly recommend Medifast (Editor's Choice). Medifast is a clinically proven diet meal replacement plan that has been found to be effective for weight loss in studies conducted at reputable medical institutions in the United States such as the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Absence of actual testimonials on site but ... If you visit the Fat Loss 4 Idiots website, you won't find any before and after photo testimonials or actual stories of people who have actually lost weight with the diet program. Despite the lack of testimonials on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots website, we did some research and found testimonials of people who have lost weight or are still losing weight through the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet.

We have also talked to a couple of people who have tried Fat Loss 4 Idiots and have had some success with it. Regarding the claim that you can lose 9 pounds in 11 days, most of those who have reported weight loss from Fat Loss 4 Idiots said that they have experienced an average loss of 2 to 3 pounds a week, which is not too bad since this remains within the healthy range of weight loss.

You need to prepare your own food. Although we don't really find preparing your own meals an issue, some people will find this task a chore. All we can say is that by preparing your own meals and doing the related grocery or supermarket shopping, you are also burning calories and doing some physical activity. Think of this as a chance to have some exercise, which is actually good for you. 

No face-to-face support group. Some people like to have face-to-face meetings with a support group or a weight loss counselor to keep themselves motivated. Fat Loss 4 Idiots does not have this at all since this is more of an online program that you read and follow.

If you are the type who needs some sort of support group to keep motivated, we suggest three things. One option is to ask a buddy to join you in the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program so that you can motivate each other and compare notes. A second option is to look for people in your community (via a web search) who are doing the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet program. A third option is to find an online forum on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. You will find numerous weight loss forums and chances are there could be one focused on Fat Loss 4 Idiots.

"I now have lost 26 lbs in 3 months. I am still losing faster than I did with Atkins (45 in 9 mos.) and I thought that was fast. If I keep this pace up, I should meet my goal by Thanksgiving ..."

"This morning I am at 152. That was my goal and I made it. 33 lbs lost, thanks to FL4I ...  I started my journey on Feb 6, 2006 and here I am Apr 25, 2006 with 33 lbs behind me ..."

» Jayelle, caloriesperhour.com Fat Loss 4 Idiots forum

"I began using the diet in February of 2008 in a tight size 18 weighing 230 lbs. By the end of June I was in a size 14 and down to 180 lbs. ...  this last cycle I finally hit the 170 mark (top of the healthy weight for my height)! I still have 20 lbs until my goal and will continue using this diet until it is reached. Other diets may work for me as well, but I like this one because it tells me what to eat. I still can choose when to eat which meal and choose between a couple things for each meal, but basically my menu is planned. No decision on what I “should” eat to be healthy or to lose weight; it has been decided for me. I also have exercised minimally throughout this process. 1 time a week Feb – June and then took the summer off and started up again in Sept. Good luck to everyone who wants to try this! "

"I began the Fat loss 4 Idiots program because it just sounded right for an idiot like myself. By June of 2007 I had yo-yo'ed myself up to 294lbs. Every diet I tried resulted in more poundage. I lost 8 pounds on the basic 9-day version the first week, 25 lbs the first month. Then I went on a Cruise for 2 weeks and put on 10 pounds. I got serious again and lost down to 240 at a rate of about 5 lbs per month over a period of 8 months. That was my first "plateau". It took a while but I got my discipline back and began to lose at a rate of about 2-3 pounds per month. I now weigh 220 and I've been in a holding pattern(220-225) for about a year but I suppose 74 lbs in 2 years is something of a success story. I have a real problem with chocolate, dining-out, lattes, and Frozen Yogurt(which is allowed but not to the extent of my addiction to it). Good luck if you decide to try it but be aware--there is no diet that works unless there is a committed change of lifestyle and eating choices."

"... I have been on this diet for 8 weeks now. And this is the easiest diet that i have ever been on. I have lost 40 lbs and i feel great! My Mom went on the diet with me and she has lost 30 lbs. Let me emphasize that she WAS an insulin dependant diabetic. Within the first 11 day cycle her blood sugar levels went from 250+ to the low 100's. Here are some other pluses. You do not get headaches and feel terrible when your on it. You feel satisfied after your meals and don't have hunger pangs. And you DO NOT have to count calories ..."

"I am really excited about the fat loss 4 idiots diet. I am on day 3 of the second 11 day cycle. I have dropped a total of 16 lbs. I also have referred two of my friends and they are doing the diet as well – also losing weight! Never before have I been able to say “I love dieting” but I am convinced. The three cheat days give you something to look forward to. You can sample some of your favorite foods without going overboard! Love It Love It Love It!!!!!!"

"I started this diet on September 20, 2008. My weight was 235. I am a Caucasian male 5 feet 11 inches and 61 years old. I am also a heart stent recipient in 1999. I was taking nexium every day for reflux problems and recovering from a broken leg in 2006 as well. I needed to lose weight for a lot of reasons. I found Fat Loss for Idiots by just doing a Google search and it looked reasonable to me. Lost 10lbs first cycle. During the next few 11 day cycles the lbs came off slower, but consistently. By January I was down to 210. I let up on the diet, by that time I had changed eating habits and was still losing. Took a part time job at a hospital walking around 2 miles a day twice a week, on my maintenance rounds. As of May 6th I am down to 188. The truth is, the diet taught me how and when to eat. You can just "feel" when you need to make adjustments. If I need to I can always go back on the cycle. But I am maintaining and still losing lbs. No regular doses of nexium anymore, perfect blood pressure, leg feels better, cholesterol is 149. What else needs to be said? It should be re-named Weight Loss for Everyone... or maybe "The Peoples Diet" I lost weight and I'm not an idiot! Thanks for the diet guys and gals! "

"I decided to quit Fat Loss 4 Idiots for various reasons. The diet wasn't working for me (as most diets generally don't) as I was incapable of committing myself to it 100%. This is because I am a compulsive over-eater, therefore it is in my nature to eat regardless of hunger."

» Deborah, discovervancouver.com forum

"I was on the program for three cycles and lost about 10 lbs. I think I would have done better if I had not cheated on the diet. I guess it's just me not having the discipline to stick with it cause I'm the type who needs variety. If I have been more creative with my food preparations then maybe I would have lost more and stuck with the diet."
