Tried almost every diet possible and still can't lose weight? See before and after pictures of how Phil finally dropped from 222 to 184 without exercising at Idiot Proof Diet
Many of you may have already heard of the Idiot Proof Diet. It is the same thing as the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet which is extremely popular. What exactly is the Idiot Proof Diet and how did it help me lose 30lbs in 30 days?
Fat Loss 4 Idiots gave the diet the name idiot proof diet because of its simplicity. Although it is a very systematic, straightforward and simple it is very effective. I was turned off to the diet at first because it seemed too simple. I was always looking for something magical. I didn’t think something called the Idiot Proof Diet could help me lose weight properly. I was always trying magic potions or cleanses or complex dieting techniques.
The whole Idiot Proof Diet is based on a concept called calorie shifting.
Over time your body’s metabolism gets programmed and has a sort of memory for the amount and type of food you eat. This is why many of the low carb, fat and calorie diets fall short. Your body becomes accustomed to eating that amount of food or lack of food and adjusts itself and the metabolism slows down.
This is why you may experience excellent results for the first week or two when suddenly out of nowhere the weight loss stops. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It always happened to me.
When you use a calorie shifting diet ( idiot proof diet ) your metabolism is always off balance. It never has a chance to get used to or programmed for the food you eat because you are always changing the amount and combinations of food you eat.
Obviously getting the exact amount of food in the right combinations and portions would be difficult without some guidance. That was what I liked most about the Idiot Proof Diet. The unique menu generation software enabled me to input the foods I liked to eat the most and generated a meal plan for me to follow to the letter.
Before the calorie shifting diet I was eating 2 or 3 meals per day. The idiot proof diet has you eat 4 meals per day with the actual food and amounts constantly changing so you continue to burn fat for a longer period of time.
One other thing I really liked about the idiot proof diet is the amount of weight I was able to lose without exercise. I had hurt my ankle and hadn’t been able to go to the gym or do any running which I normally do. The diet is strictly a weight loss diet. Now obviously throwing in some gym time will only improve your results.
The big claim on the internet right now is the lose 9 lbs every 11 days. While this is possible and it’s about what I did I would say this is the BEST it can get. Most people who have emailed me their results are more in the 5-7 lbs every 11 days.
