There’s probably a good reason why you’re reading
this
and one of them is because you know that diets and exercise always turn
out to be a lot of hard work.
Further more, diet and exercise can often be hard
to
stick to because it gets boring pretty quickly…especially when you
don’t see results as quickly as you would like to.
What makes things worse is that we continually get
lured
into the latest fads that never actually work (low carbs, low fat and
low calorie)…despite what the media, celebrities and adverts say.
The other options are the pills and potions…which
may be
more effective, but they won’t keep you thin and certainly won’t help
your overall health.
And because many diets are too strict and require
you to
eat bland and boring foods, it’s no wonder people are looking for
something they can finally stick to, enjoy and see results as soon as
possible.
We chose to review Fat Loss For Idiots because
they
avoid the low carb, low calorie and low fat diets that we’ve all been
told we must follow to lose weight. After trying all of those diets, we
know first hand that these types of diets are near impossible to follow
long term, so we were intrigued to find out what sort of diet plan the
Fat Loss For Idiots program would offer.
After hearing some mixed reviews, it’s time to see
first hand what’s going on behind the scenes at the Fat Loss For Idiots
camp.
We’ll buy the product, check out what you get and
what
exact the diet plan consists of. This will allow you to see firsthand
whether this diet plan is right for you, whether it’s worth the time
and money spent and ultimately, whether it will actually work for you
too.

WHAT IS
IT?
First of all, we have the written manual. This is
a
guide that aims to dispel many of the common myths of fat loss and
eating properly to avoid putting on weight.
The guide covers 10 core rules you need to know,
from
manipulating your calories, carbs, fat and protein intake, eating
habits, rotation of eating, preparation, accompanying drinks, mental
attitude…right through to water consumption to walking habits!
The guide aims to show you how to change your old
ineffective habits and eating plans before you actually begin your new
fat loss system.
The software is slightly different, where it
generates a
specific set of meals based on your choices…therefore being a little
more specific.
From what we can tell, you can either follow the
written
guide and be your own boss, or you can use the diet generator to have a
specific eating plan set out for you based on your choices. However,
the written guide seems to contain some general advice that will
compliment your actual meal plans too.

FIRST
IMPRESSIONS
After opening the main written guide, we were
surprised at how straight to the point and easy to read the guide was.
First you are taken through these 10 rules to a
successful diet, which don’t seem overbearing or too strict. They
simply point out some basic do’s and don’ts along with some very simple
habits to take on which we feel would be easy to accomplish, such as
walking more, drinking a little more water and going easy on salad
dressings.
There are more details pieces of advice such as
how to
stop searching for certain types of foods that actually don’t help your
diet (low fat foods etc) and why certain types of exercises that people
say you should do actually do not burn off any fat at all (and what you
need to do instead).
We also liked the parts about low carb diets being
useless in the long term and the reasons why. This cleared a lot of
things up for us, and explains why so many people don’t stick to these
sorts of diets (they are not designed for the long term).
Other useful information is found in eating at
restaurants, how to eat foods when dining out without destroying your
diet plans, and they even mention eating fast food the healthier way!
There is a ton more info ranging from water
retention
(the silent weight adder) right through to the myths about salads,
honey and brown sugar, wheat bread and all sorts of other fat piling
foods that you’re led to believe are helping you when in reality, they
are making you fatter!
Finally, there’s a useful section on alcohol
consumption
(how to drink alcohol and still maintain weight loss) and a couple of
great chapters on eating habits throughout the day.
The software is also very easy to pick up and use.
It
creates specific weekly diet plans based on the Fat Loss For Idiots
principles, and what types of foods you prefer.

DOES IT
WORK
We’ve seen many testimonials on the sales page and
even more mixed stories online.
Although we only had a short amount of time (4
weeks) to
try the product out, we did see a significant amount of weight loss.
During those 4 weeks, our testing candidate managed to lose 7 ½ lbs.
Whilst not quite as much as they claim can be lost in that time, we
thought that was pretty impressive considering how easy going the diet
is (lots of variety and allows for some tasty foods!).
Furthermore, what is noticeable is that there was
very
little exercise involved in that weight loss. Our testing candidate
followed the advice in the guide and took 2 brisk walks every 3 days.
She walked a maximum of 5 miles in a week.
If you don’t have time for any such thing, not
even a
walk to your local park/shops and back, then you may experience
different results of course. Furthermore, we think that some of her
success was also down to her will power to actually see it through.
Whilst this is a very easy going diet that gives
you
plenty of leeway to eat varied food types, you still have that feeling
that you’re on some form of diet and therefore you may get the
resistant feeling kick in to “let it all go”.
However, unlike some of the stricter calorie
counting
diets that force rabbit food down your throat all day and night, you
don’t feel so restricted and tied down to the plan.
With a little more effort with exercise (perhaps
gym or
a sport, or even just a walk every day) she claims she could have
easily lost a further 6 pounds in that time.
It’s hard to say, but at this stage the results
look
promising. A further 6 months down the line will be interesting to see
how the diet lasts long term like it is supposed to. Additionally, it
seems almost like the weight is coming off too quickly, which is
another reason why we feel that sticking to this diet for more than a
couple of months might actually be bad for your health.

WHO IS IT
RIGHT FOR?
Without doubt, anybody that has tried the low
calorie,
low carb, low fat bland diet routines and found it hard to shift weight
should pay attention to this one. Whilst we are keen on exercise, there
are no real “in your face” commands for you to go running or swimming
or anything like that. The truth is that this plan can be effective
even if you just follow the meal plan and 10 rules alone.
There’s nothing complicated or expensive to
endure, which we think makes up part of this diet plan’s unique appeal.
Therefore, it’s clearly best suited to casual
dieters
that don’t have the time, money or inclination to exercise all day and
night and still want to eat “normal everyday” foods without feeling
left out of the nice stuff (particularly when dining out!).
Sadly, if you’re looking for a really long term
plan
then this might actually be a bad decision. This diet seems squarely
focused on people who need to drop that initial bulk of fat and body
weight so that they can feel motivated and good about themselves enough
to start/continue eating healthier foods and live a more active
lifestyle.
Equally, those who need a quick emergency plan to
lose
weight before a certain occasions (think brides to be, guys going for a
medical etc) then this is the sort of plan that can be a sure saviour.
The key of course is to continue the mindset,
motivation
and general daily eating habits after the diet is over, so that you
don’t eventually pile it all back on.
The guide does cover the long term approach
towards the
end, but keep in mind the main focus of the Fat Loss For Idiots plan is
short term, faster results.

BAD POINTS
Whilst the plan clearly does work is specifically
reducing your body fat (and not just lowering your caloric intake),
there are a couple of things we’re not too keen on with Fat Loss For
Idiots on the whole…
Firstly, the whole idea of losing large amounts of
weight too quickly may be appealing at first, but it needs to be done
carefully due to health risks.
Furthermore, when losing weight so quickly, it’s
just as
easy to put the weight back on in the future. Therefore, it’s
recommended that if you do buy this plan, that you have a stronger
motivation to KEEP the weight off in the long run…otherwise you’re kind
of cheating yourself and you’ll destroy your self esteem and motivation
from the constant yo-yo dieting patterns.
In terms of the diet itself, although there is now
a new
plan recently added to bring even more variety, some of the foods can
get a bit repetitious after a while.
Our experiences led us to believe that not only is
this
plan best suited for short term use because of the fast weight loss
results, but also because it would become a little tedious eating the
same overall foods contained in the plan.
Having said that, there’s no reason why you can’t
mix
things up a little, but obviously you need to remember that the plans
have been specifically designed to increase metabolism and lower fat
intake at the same time, so mixing the plans up too much may have an
adverse effect.

GOOD POINTS
The obvious good point with this diet is that it
works!
Our female tester lost 7 ½ lbs in the 4 week testing period and claimed
she could easily lose more if she had put a little more exercise into
her weeks.
Still, that’s about ½ a stone just from eating
properly!
Admittedly, she cut her alcohol intake right back, so if you’re a heavy
drinker then you’ll need to make the extra effort to cut back where
possible to see similar results.
The software makes the entire process brainless,
with
full weekly plans based around the foods that YOU choose from a wide
menu, not what some self proclaimed expert tells you to eat.
Whilst some better cooking plans could help, the
meals
are actually very easy to put together and another plus point is that
they are all so simple it actually saves you time in the kitchen too!
Yes, they can get a little repetitive after the 4
weeks,
but that should give you enough head start to see results in the mirror
and really get a good feeling about yourself…knowing that you CAN lose
weight without dragging the whole process out or starving yourself to
death!
Sure, like all diets there is a requirement for
you to
change your habits in some way to accommodate a new way of thinking
towards food.
But the truth is that healthy eating is much
easier than
you are made to think and once you’ve grasped the 10 rules along with
the handful of chapters on daily habits, you’ll soon forget your old
ways for sure.

CONCLUSION
Click on the
play button to view the video!
Most diet plans are so stuck in theory and strict
regimes that it’s no wonder people wane off them quicker than they put
the weight on in the first place.
Furthermore, many diet plans out there are so
dependent
on having you bust your butt working out in the gym (so they can get
away with including naughty foods in the diet plans to make it look
more appealing) that most people just don’t have the time, money or
energy after work to bother with them.
Let’s face it…
We all live in a busy world these days and whilst
there
is no excuse for not eating properly and staying active, it’s also very
easy to get distracted from the gym and that 2 mile run at night.
Besides, not all of us actually want to spend all
our
spare time sweating in a gym anyway…we just want to know how to eat
properly to naturally lose weight.
That is essentially what Fat Loss For Idiots will
do for
you. Whilst it’s not exactly a plan that you could (or should) follow
for life, it’s a great twist on eating certain foods and changing
simple, effortless habits in your daily routine to shed the pounds
quickly and enjoyably.
Don’t mistake this guide for a 12 month personal
training programme, because it’s clearly designed for every day people
who need to hit their own personal weight loss targets, usually in a
short amount of time.
Providing you have an ounce of self discipline to
actually follow along for at least 3-4 weeks, there is no reason why
you can’t be the one saying “Hey look, I’ve lost 9lbs this month!”
Whilst 9lbs might not be a lot to some, it’s a
huge
difference when you’re struggling to shift even 2lbs. And for most of
us busy individuals, all it takes to start a healthier, slimmer and
more attractive new life is losing that first 9lbs alone...
