Idiot’s Guide to Weight Loss


Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a program that "guarantees" you'll lose 9 lbs in 11 days. However, most experts agree that weight loss of over 2 lbs in a week is harmful to your health. Who's right?

Fat Loss 4 Idiots claims that by rotating your meals and your nutrient ratios, you'll be able to effectively reduce your waistline without jeopardizing your metabolism. Keeping your metabolism running at a high rate is important for any fat loss program. Any one that tells you differently is off their rocker.

After observing the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program, I can relay a few "key" observations:

No-1: At the beginning, this program will help you get rid of "junk" weight. By that, I mean the weight that sticks to an individual based on lingering toxins in the body. In effect, the first week has a bit of a "cleansing" effect - not unlike some of the diets that rely on cleansing products. For many people, this can be quite important as many of these toxins can impair daily life. Successful "cleansing" means a better feeling for yourself on a day to day basis. It's a good thing.

No-2: Much of the weight loss due to this program in the beginning will be water weight, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. With many people having such a high daily sodium intake, bloat is an extremely common problem, even if most people don't even know that they are that way. Also, due to the limited amount of carbs , water weight will also be lost due to the loss of glycogen in the body.

No-3: Finally, the way the program really shines really has nothing to do with the program at all. It's the fact that getting someone to actually be accountable for what they put in their mouths goes a long way for most people's understanding. This in itself is the most important thing that Fat Loss 4 Idiots offers - accountability.

For these reasons, I can honestly say that even though it seems that Fat Loss 4 Idiots may seem like a ridiculous program with outlandish claims, most people would do well to give it a try.
