First of all, sheer simplicity. You don’t have to calculate body fat or daily caloric consumption. You don’t have to count calories or measure servings. Just eat from the daily menus provided, and eat until you are satisfied but not overstuffed.

Secondly, the price is affordable, and it is a lifetime membership. This means that you will always have access to the “Online Diet Generator”, which designs your menus for each 11 day cycle. Then you can edit them to eliminate foods that don’t agree with you, and add ones that you prefer.

The third reason is that the Fat Loss 4 Idiots system gives you a 3-day break after each 11-day cycle, when you can eat anything you want. This provides a “light at the end of the tunnel”. Many people give up on conventional diets because they have to eat from a restricted regimen for months. This break helps keep people on the program until their goals are achieved! Of course, you should still not overstuff.

Lastly, the Fat Loss 4 Idiots calorie shifting diet plan does not require a rigorous exercise regimen. Two 30 minute walks per day are recommended for best results. More exercise will, of course, burn more calories. It depends on how committed you are to burning fat fast.

In summary, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a good and simple plan to lose weight quickly without having to spend all day calculating servings, and the price is very affordable.

Some of the other calorie shifting plans that I researched had monthly fees and were hard to navigate, and it was hard to figure out exactly what to do. Others had very rigid rules and regimens, and you still had to count calories and measure servings. One was very vague about exactly what to eat, and when.

I found Fat Loss 4 Idiots to be well designed for simplicity, clarity, and versatility. Since the plan is based on alternating food groups, the menus allow for substitutions to better suit your personal tastes. For example, if a certain day’s menu call for macadamia nuts and you don’t like them, you can substitute cashews or walnuts, etc. As long as the substitution falls within the food group.  Another example is garbanzo beans. If they aren’t available in your area, Great Northern beans or red beans will serve just as well.

The daily menus are provided for you, so all you have to do is go to the grocery store. And you don’t have to go hungry. You eat 4 times per day, and eat until you are satisfied, but not overstuffed. This is the trickiest part, determining how much to eat so that you don’t starve before the next meal. But another good thing about this calorie shifting diet plan is that it is very forgiving. Even if you overfill occasionally, you will still burn fat, just not as much as you would have had you eaten less.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots calorie shifting plan provides good general nutrition, but if you are fighting high cholesterol or have other special dietary needs, it may not be the best solution for your weight loss problem. You should check with your doctor before making any significant change to your diet.

Substitutions are permitted on the plan, and once you understand how the system works it’s usually pretty easy to do. The calorie shifting plan is based on eating from different food groups which have certain innate characteristics. Though it is not quite as simple as this, the basic groupings are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. One day you will eat foods that are high in one group, another day foods that are high in another group. This keeps the metabolism from adjusting to lowered caloriec intake levels, so that you continue to lose weight without encountering the “plateaus” that occur with conventional diet plans. The menus are arranged by nutritional experts so that you receive a balanced diet over a period of time, and this is why people shouldn’t try to create their own plan.

So if a menu item is peanuts, and you are allergic to them, cashews or walnuts will do just fine. If you don’t like sausage, bacon will work as they are both high fat, high protein items. If you can’t find garbanzo beans, try a similar bean like white beans, navy beans, etc.  Of course, the best way to substitute for items that you can’t eat or don’t like is to use the Online Diet Menu provided with the Fat Loss 4 Idiots calorie shifting plan.

Another question that I get a lot is “how do I prepare this food? Do they mean roasted or baked chicken? Should the nuts be salted or unsalted? Should I fry the potatoes or bake them?

Once again, it is the food item on the menu that matters, not how it is prepared. You could have fried chicken if you want, though I don’t personally recommend anything that is deep fried. This is because of the deadly transfat content of all deep fried foods, but that is an issue for another article. The calorie shifting plan is actually pretty versatile and forgiving, but if you aren’t seeing the fat loss rate that you expected, them you will need to make some adjustments. Remember, all weight loss is based on burning more calories each day than you take in.

In summary, substitutions for calorie shifting plan menu items are permitted as long as the food has the same basic characteristics. If you follow the plan and use common sense, you should lose 7 to 9 pounds in each 11-day cycle.

1. I’m a vegetarian. Can I still use the Calorie Shifting plan?

Answer: Yes. Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides you with an “Online Diet Generator” which permits you to select the foods that you prefer. Also, I just received some good news. In order to be fair, Fat Loss 4 Idiots has just released an 11-day sample menu for vegetarians! I will begin showing this menu, one day at a time, in on Saturday, May 23, 2009. Details on how to get it below. I have only seen Day One so far myself, and there may be a downside for vegetarian purests: It includes cottage cheese and cheese slices.

2. I have high cholestorol and I see some pretty fatty foods on the sample menu. Can I use the calorie shifting diet plan with my dietary restrictions?

Answer: Yes, but I don’t recommend it. You would have to purchase the “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” system and use the Online Diet Generator to filter out the foods that you can’t have on your low cholestol diet. For example, you could eat lean ham instead of bacon, and egg substitute instead of fresh eggs. But after researching low cholesterol diets, two things stand out:

A. I believe that you would lose weight in this system with those dietary limitations but not as much as you would  if you could follow it completely;

B. The more conventional “diet and exercise” systems have diets which fit hand in hand with the low cholesterol diet. I highly recommend  “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” as a guide. There is a wealth of valuable nutritional information, and though it’s a large book, there’s no BS in there. All of the products that I recommend come with a 60-Day, hassle free Money Back Guarantee. And, of course, you should discuss any change in your regular routine with your doctor.

I also recommend foods that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids. These are mostly fish, like salmon and albacore tuna, and it can also be found in certain nuts, walnuts in particular. This is nature’s “Miracle Drug”, along with….Water!

As I receive more inquiries I will post them here from time to time. Meanwhile, if you would like to receive the 11-Day Vegetarian Sample menu, just email me at jaljr1954@gmail.com  and I will send you the first day as soon as I have everything set up. Note that you will receive a confirmation email from Judson Lassiter first, so be on the lookout for it.
