This page is dedicated to the popular Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet program, also known as the Idiot Proof Diet, Fat Loss 4 Dummies, and Weight Loss 4 Idiots
Fat Loss For Idiots is based on the Shifting Calories Method. Calories Shifting is accomplished by constantly changing what you eat, so that your body doesn’t get used to any routine. This causes your metabolism to remain high and your body to burn more fat faster and more efficiently. The reason why 95% of diets fail is that most diets are based on reducing the amount of calories you eat. This causes your metabolism to slow down, so you may lose weight in the beginning, but you end up gaining it all back.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots program keeps the metabolism high at all times, so your body always burns fat, leading to a rapid and continuous weight loss.
The FatLoss4Idiots program includes a menu generator which produces a personal menu to each user. You type in the food you like to eat, and the menu generator takes it into account, so you end up eating much of the food you like, but it always shifts it around.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots menu is comprised of 4 meals a day so you never starve. That’s why so many people have been able to stick to it for so long and maintain their new weight once they lost the number of lbs. they wanted.
That’s why it works so well.
Why 95% Of Diets Fail – A little more explanation
The dismal statistics about diets indicate that 95% of them fail miserably. People may manage to lose a little weight in the beginning of the diet, though most of it is just liquids and not fat, but most of them stop losing weight after a while, gain back what they lost and even more, so that they end up fatter than they were to begin with.
Why is it that most diets fail and what sort of diet should we use to avoid the same fate and achieve a fast and continuous weight loss?
The main reason why most diets fail is that they are based on a greatly reduced calorie intake and/or a total avoidance of a certain food group. A low calorie diet, and I have seen people go on 400 calories a day diets, causes your metabolism to slow down considerably and your body to burn less and less fat.
You see, the body protects itself because it thinks you’re starving it.
When you stop the diet and start taking in more calories, your metabolism is still low and you gain much more fat. And besides, eating 400 calories a day is very hazardous to your health.
Those diets which tell you to stop eating a certain food group like no-carbs or no-protein diets, hurt the body because they deprive a necessary ingredient from it. They may be very dangerous to your well-being. Any weight loss achieved through them is of short term. What you need is a diet which lets you eat a reasonable amount of food with a certain supply of all necessary food groups that still helps you to lose weight.
A diet like Fat Loss 4 Idiots which is based on Shifting Calories is the best bet as it does not starve you but produces a fast and continuous weight loss.
The Calorie Shifting Diet – How Does Shifting Calories Work
The Weight loss 4 idiots diet is based on the Shifting Calories method, so I thought it would be good to explain what this method is and why does it work so well.
The shifting calories method which is becoming very popular in the United States is a unique diet method which was developed in order to ensure a fast and continuous weight loss.
Why is that important? Because in contrary to other diet plans which may provide a short term weight loss, the Calorie Shifting Diet method ensures that you will not gain back the weight you have lost and that you will continue to lose more and more weight for weeks and months.
You will accomplish this weight loss without depriving yourself of necessary nutrients and without damaging your health as other diets may cause you to do.
The Calorie Shifting Diet method is based on changing what you eat from one day to the next. This keeps your metabolism high and gets your body to burn more fat faster. You do not starve yourself. You don’t have to stop eating, you just have to follow the method.
Another aspect of this method is that because you keep changing what you eat, you’re never bored with your food as with other diets. You don’t have to eat a specific food group or to stop eating one.
That’s why keeping to a Calorie Shifting diet is so much easier than keeping to other diets. You don’t go hungry or get cravings for an entire food group. You can’t eat junk food, of course, at least not as much as you like, but you do eat carbs, proteins, fruits, vegetables. You can create a menu based on the kind of food that you like and then you just shift it around.
The results can be quite remarkable.
Announcement: The New (and Free) Fat Loss 4 Idiots Support Guide – Only For My Readers
It’s not part of the original program – You can only get it here on this Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review Page
It’s been over 2 years since I first wrote this review. Since then, over 100,000 people have read it (although I keep updating it).
I get emails every week from readers, telling me how much my review helped them. I also get a lot of questions about this diet. In fact, I got so many questions over the past months, that I decided to write a special report about the Fat Loss For Idiots diet, just for the readers of this review, as a thank you gift from me for visiting this page.
Introducing: The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Support guide, a resource I created which answers the common questions I’ve been asked by countless users of the diet and also contains tips specifically for this diet which can help you maximize your weight loss.

The support guide isn’t part of the regular download of Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This webpage is the only place you can get this guide since I wrote it myself And I’m giving it to you for FREE. Just follow the instructions below and you can get it today.
Here’s how you can get this valuable resource:
1. Click on the link below
2. Order Fat Loss 4 Idiots
3. Send me your receipt – forward it to support [ at ] worldofdiets.com
(just copy my email address and replace [ at ] with @) – and as soon as I’ll get your email and confirm your order, I will send you my guide.
Don’t Forget to send me the receipt by email! The support guide isn’t part of the regular Idiot Diet package. You need to email me the receipt and I’ll email my support guide back to you myself.
The reason I’m asking for you to send me the receipt by email for confirmation is that I’ve been offered to publish this guide for money, but decided that only people who purchase the diet from this review will get it for FREE, this I do as a service to my readers. Also, it’s a support guide for Fat Loss For Idiots, and so is useless for anyone who doesn’t use this diet.
With the FL4I Support guide, I believe you’ll have an advantage over people who use the diet but don’t have my Support Guide, AND a massive advantage over those who don’t even use the diet at all.
Can You Really Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days With This Diet Plan?
I’d say that the common weight loss is 7-10 lbs. every 11 days, but the avarage is 7-8 pounds. That means that on one cycle you might lose 6 pounds but 9 on the next.
I even had a feedback from one woman who lost 11 pounds in the 1st 11 days, but that is uncommon.
It’s difficult to know in advance exactly how much you’ll lose. It mainly depends on how well you follow the menu and guidelines of the diet. But think of it this way: Say you don’t lose 9 lbs., say you lose 7. I think it’s still a great weight loss rate.
And remember, how much you lose with this diet is mainly up to you.
WeightLoss4Idiots For Vegetarians
One of the most frequent questions I get from people is whether this diet works for vegetarians.
The answer is yes.
Weight Loss 4 Idiots has a vegetarian version to its menu. Once you get to the online menu generator, you will be able to pick a vegetarian menu.
Maintaining Your Weight Loss With The Idiot Proof Diet
Plenty of diets can get you to lose weight in the beginning. The trick is not re-gaining everything you lost and even more.
FL4I ensures that you will not regain all the lbs. that you lose.
It does so by two means: nutritional and psychological.
Most diets make you deprive yourself of a certain food group (like no-carb diets or low-carb diets). That can get you initial weight loss, but you will also gain it all back. And why? Because you will not be spending the rest of your life without eating carbs or eating so little of them as those diets prescribe.
Once the body is deprived of carbs, it will learn to hoard whatever carbs you put into it. It’s an evolutionary instinct. Once you start eating carbs again (it’s unhealthy not to eat from all the major food groups), your body will put on weight. It will not burn what you put into it. It will store it. The same will happen with zero fat diets and so on.
By taking on a diet that lets you eat a balanced menu of all food groups, as fatloss4idiots does, you maintain a high metabolism and your body doesn’t need to store any specific food group. That’s the nutritional side of it.
Psychologically, it’s hard sticking to most diets because they get you into a boring routine. You eat most of the same things every day. Imagine how dull your life becomes. But with FL4I, you get to constantly change what you’re eating, so you’re not bored and you have no problem sticking to the diet and maintaining your weight loss.
So both nutritionally and psychologically, this diet gets you to lose weight and to maintain your weight loss.
Weight Loss For Idiots for diabetics
Can diabetics use this diet?
This is a difficult question to answer. Weight Loss 4 Idiots wasn’t made specifically for people with diabetes (whether type 1 or type 2). However, some people who have diabetes have reported excellent results with the diet (you can read testimonials below).
If you’re a diabetic and wish to try the program then go right ahead, but make sure to check with your doctor first.
Beyond Calories Diet Review
What is Beyond Calories? – Beyond Calories Diet Review
Beyond Calories is the name of an additional fat loss resource that comes with the Fat Loss For Idiots diet.
Beyond Calories teaches you how to incorporate H.S. Foods into your diet and to boost your fat loss. It also includes further dieting tricks and tips.
There are 2 reasons why this resource is separated from the main diet plan:
1. Losing fat fast with the regular Idiot diet package is so easy to accomplish that you don’t need Beyond Calories in order for your diet to be successful.
2. In order to make FatLoss4Idiots more affordable for everyone.
Beyond Calories can accelerate your weight loss beyond what the Shifting Calories method and the menu generator can do alone, but it is not a must have product.
It will require some additional small effort on your part to incorporate H.S. Foods into your diet. I suggest you invest in Beyond Calories only if you are really, really committed to a pursuing a fast fat loss process. Otherwise, stick to the original diet plan.
Beyond Calories is only available to those who decide to use this diet plan.
A personal note to those who want to lose weight with FatLoss4Idiots
Thanks for reading this review. I wanted to write something personal to you, the reader who wants to lose weight.

You can do the same. You too can become thin and look and feel better. It’s all up to you.
Don’t procrastinate. Start the change today.

Does this work in india with Indian types of foods, please reply.
What do you mean by Indian foods? Can you give specifics?
for example Tuna salad… we have never heard about this in INDIA… so am worried if i go for this diet i doubt i get all the ingredients and i wanna lose 30 – 35pounds in 2 months of time.. please help.. planning to buy it today..
just to confirm will this diet work for Asian women…
Thank u for the reply in advance
So hi, I’ve read all the info in the site and I was wondering, where are the testimonies you mentioned? How sure can one be that this will work if you are fully commited??? Because to be honest, I am kind of in a dead line…
hi admin
I have used the fl4i diet generator for quite some time and have been very happy with the results. I would say on average I am loosing 6 pounds every cycle which Im very happy with. On my very 1st cycle I lost about 11 pounds, on my 2nd I lost 9, then after that I’de say 6-7lbs every cycle. I was wondering if beyond calories ‘really’ does boost your weight loss? I honestly cant see me loosing more weight than i am already am with the original plan. I am willing to try BC but am quite happy with the DG plan, but if I can loose an extra pound a week with BC its worth the try but if im going to loose roughly the same weight or max an xtra 0.5lb every week then i dont see the point. what are your thoughts?
can anybody please give me an example of a meal u might have on this diet before i buy? Many thanx
Is this valid or is it the company putting reviews all over the internet? Has this really worked for real people? So tired of scams.
Hi Jamie,
Over the years I’ve had contact with people who have lost weight with this diet plan. This review was written by me and not by the company.
Hi, i was just wondering if this book can be bought by someone in the UK? If yes how much does it cost?
Thanks
Hi Charlotte,
Yes, this is a digital product which you download to your computer and access online. It can be used in the UK. I believe it costs $39. Not sure how much this is in pounds.
I would like to know if this diet works for someone like myself who must eat ‘gluten free’. Also, I only really have to lose 10 lbs to get to my goal weight – does this diet work if you only have 10 lbs to lose? Please let me know soon, as I would love to check out your plan – thanks ~ kim
I have been using this diet since March of 2010. After losing 20 lbs., I have used it more loosely to maintain. During this time, my husband & son were both diagnosed with allergies and had to go gluten free and lactose free…We were all amazed at how similar these diets were. And since you can choose what foods you like at the beginning, you have the control over what-then they tell you when and how…
um..how do i become a member ?
:) )
i would love to lose 30 pounds in a month..
id like to start the diet from march 2011..( c den ill be done with my exams..n will have vacation too..den ill be able to concentrate on this diet properly
so do i have to order now ?
or can i order later ?
and im 17 years old…..this diet will work for me right ?
and please tell me how do i become a MEMBER?
Hi, this is a diet for adults, so you should use it when you’re 18 or older. To be a member you simply have to order the diet. I can’t say for sure what the price will be in March. I believe it will be available then.
hi i want to lose 20pounds please help me
Hi, I thought I’d share my experience with this diet. I bought like 1 year ago, aproximately and when I tried it the first time I lost 8 pounds in 11 days. Then tried it again and lost another 7 pounds. So, it is good to lose weight. The problems I see with it is that a few of the foods that you eat are not the healthiest and that there really is not much variety. But something’s gotta give. If you’re looking to lose pounds fast and don’t mind a little sacrifice than this diet is for you.
Hey Virginia,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi,
I really need to lose like 35 pounds b4 I go into high school next year but none of the diets I have used work. I really hope this plan will be the one that actually works but how do I stop gaining weight during the year?
Thanks,
Wildfyre4ever

Do you know if a bigger person were to do this FL4I if there will be loose skin from the fast paced weight loss? Have you heard about that at all?
Hi Mindy,
I’ve not heard about this issue. This can be avoided by adding some strength training to the diet.
Can you the FL4I diet and the Turbulence Training exercises together? I know it says you don’t have to exercise much with the FL4I or just walking but I just wondered if you could do something a little more advanced and still see results?
Hi, yes, there should be problem using these programs together. Both are good and they complement each other. To read more about TT, visit Turbulence Training
u r practically saying live ur life normally and u will lose weight?is that it?
I don’t think this is what this review says. It’s about a specific diet and a specific way of eating to lose weight fast.
Is this program works for asian woman too??
There’s no reason why it shouldn’t. It should work the same for women of all ethnic backgrounds.
do they ever tell you wat shifting ur friking calories means!!! the entire thing is all “shifting ur cals. means u lose weight” durrr i got that but how do i do it???
I have used burn the fat feed the musle from tom used this patron of eating and lost 10kgs for a over one year period so i shifted to every other day diet but i am finding it difficult for india style
i need to know the difference btn the 2 options of diet they have available before i down loan one
thank
juliet
Hi Juliet,
The Beyond Calories option includes an extra diet book which teaches you a second method to lose weight. It is useful but you can do quite well with the regular package if you like.
Hi Admin – Do you know if walking twice a day 30min each is still required for the Beyond Calories diet? Or can I do intensive exercises? Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I think the program is the same as it was. I don’t think that doing intense exercises is a problem.
i had to get the refund directly through clickbank web site and you’ll need your order confirmation number, which i had to get directly from my cc bill, because i never NEVER got a receipt. they do not make it easy to get the refund.
There are a lot of positive comments online about FL4I and it seems to be very effective.
However, there does not seem to be any way to make contact on the website. If a refund is required (the guarantee being one of the reassurances to purchase) do you know how this is obtained?
Hi Candy,
There may not offer contact information on their main site, but they do offer it to customers. People who order the diet can simply use this email address to get a refund if they so wish.
I’ve been doing FL4I for the last 3 years and I have yet to get any kind of response out of anyone that has any affiliation with that website – so good luck to you!
Hi,
I’ve tried the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet, but didnt reallt loose much weight. I’ve completed 4 stages of the diet, and stuck to it 100%. The first stage was great, I lost 10lbs! But then it completely slowed down… 2nd stage – 2lbs, 3rd stage – 4.5lbs, 4th stage 3lbs.
What am I doing wrong? I am desperate to loose weight and have at least another 50lbs to loose. Please help!!!
Thank you!
The diet doesn’t work for everyone, but it does work for most people.
Some tips for success are:
1. Drink a lot of water
2. Get enough sleep
3. Reduce stress in your life
4. Make sure to follow the diet guidelines exactly
5. Don’t overdo things on your cheat days
Hi Jayne;
You’re doing nothing wrong. So you’ve lost about 20lbs, from what I read. Which is great, but you’re still aiming for another 50lbs. Which, I get, been there, done that. One thing I would recommend is running either on a tredmill or outside for about 30 minutes, but have a bottled water in hand, or you will get dehydrated. Also, another great tip that I learned is, after you take a bite of food (Dinner, Lunch, Breakfast) Put the utensil down, and down have another bite until you are fully satisfied, but also eat smaller meals. It’s like, “tricking” your stomach, acting as if you’re full. It works, try it.
Sincerely,
Penny.
Oooh, good tip – will try that one!
Thanks. Which tip do you refer to?
