About the Idiot Proof Diet
The only way to find out the complete details of this diet program is to sign up for the program via the Fat Loss 4 Idiots website. Once you've paid the registration fee, you'll be able to access the members-only site that provides specifics about the program. When you visit the site, the first thing you'll see is a claim that dieters can lose nine pounds every 11 days with the program, which is touted as an "accelerated fat loss diet".
With claims like these, it's not difficult to understand that reviews of this diet plan vary widely. Some claim that it truly is a miraculous weight loss option, but others assert that it's nothing more than a scam. Based on the reviews published on various websites, it seems that some people have enjoyed success with the program, while others have not. Mixed results and mixed reviews are typical of many diet plans, and this one is no exception.
Premise of the Weight Loss Program
The basic premise of The Idiot Proof Diet focuses on varying what you eat and when. Rather than counting calories or carbohydrates, with this program, dieters focus their efforts on constantly varying the timing and pattern of their food consumption. This type of eating plan is referred to as "calorie shifting". The idea is that weight loss will occur when your diet is one that involves eating certain foods at certain times of day, in patterns that change regularly so that your metabolism isn't able to "predict" what to expect.
This concept is not novel, nor is it exclusive to this particular diet program. Body builders and other athletes have utilized calorie and food group cycling eating theories for years. The belief that nutrient cycling is closely tied to metabolism has been around for decades, even though it hasn't caught on among the general population to the extent of other, more mainstream approaches to dieting.
Following the Diet
If you decide to try this diet, you'll follow a prescribed plan of calorie and nutrient cycling for 11 days at a time, followed by three days of eating whatever you want. During the 11 day diet cycle, you'll be required to follow specific rules, including:
- Nutrient Cycling – Follow all program guidelines for rotating between protein and carbohydrate rich meals.
- Proper Meal Quantity – Eat four meals daily.
- Home Meal Preparation – Prepare your meals at home rather than depending on take out or restaurant meals.
- Limit Condiments – Avoid adding excess calories to meals by staying away from unnecessary condiments.
- Don't Overindulge – Even though there are no specific calorie limits on the plan, dieter's are urged not to overindulge at meals.
- Stick with Low Calorie Beverages – Don't drink anything that has more than 10 calories per servings.
- Consume Sufficient Water – Drink between eight and ten glasses of water daily.
- Exercise – Dieters are urged to walk twice each day, for thirty minutes each session.
- Stay Away from Sweets – Sweets are not allowed as part of the diet program.
In addition to observing the rules, to adhere to the Idiot Proof Diet, you'll need access to the online diet generator available only to those who pay to subscribe to Fat Loss 4 Idiots program. The generator creates menus for you, based on a combination of the diet rules, your likes and dislikes, and what the program's marketers refer to as "fat burning compatible" foods.
