 The
Idiot Proof Diet, created by Fat Loss 4 Idiots, is one of the
most unique of all the fast weight loss diets because it shows
you how to cycle the food you eat to burn fat and lose weight.
How does the Idiot Proof Diet work?
The
diet works over 2 weeks- a 11 day cycle followed by a 3 day
period where you're free to eat anything you choose. The diet
uses a method called calorie shifting to force your body to
shed pounds.
The
theory is that if you keep adjusting the types of calories you
eat over this 11 day period, your body is forced to increase
your metabolism...and, as a result, you lose weight.
And
the author of the diet claims you can lose up to 9 pounds in
11 days (which will require discipline on your part). I know
friends that have lost 5 pounds in 11 days on the Idiot Proof
Diet- which is still pretty impressive. To lose the full 9 lbs,
you'll have to stick to the diet step-by-step with no cheating...which
isn't that hard, but it's worth noting.
The Idiot Proof Diet consists of 2 parts:
1.
An e-book that guides you through 10 rules that the diet is
based on. For example, here's 5:
- You
eat 4 meals per day, each separated by 2.5 hours (I feel 5
meals per day is better, but 4 is still good and is what they
recommend).
-
You have to use a specific rotation of carb and protein rich
meals (this is the foundation of the Idiot Proof Diet).
-
Drink water or diet soda
-
Avoid sweets and excessive condiments
- Exercise
- they recommend walking
2.
An online menu generator that tells you the food to eat over
the 11 day cycle. Before doing this however, it asks you to
select, from a list, 15-30 foods you like...this way, you'll
actually enjoy the foods you eat during all 11 days - a big
plus.
Out of all the fast weight loss diets, why is the Idiot Proof
Diet worth trying?
We're
skeptical of most quick weight loss diets available, but I give
this one two thumbs up because it's a very unique and proven
approach to weight loss AND it's easy to follow. I've always
believed that good nutrition is one of the best ways to lose
weight and improve your health- and this diet proves it.
