    Hi!

    Have you ever heard about "Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet"? Reading about it makes you wonder if they might not be on to something. The way the diet works is different than other fad diets that involve cutting out certain types of food like low carbohydrates, low fat or low calorie. Instead it uses calorie shifting foods that you would normally eat, increases the number of times you eat, and changes when you eat certain things for fast fat loss.

    What is Calorie Shifting?

    The way calorie shifting works involves tricking the fat hormones that are sent out by the brain. Every time you eat something, your brain sends out fat storing and fat burning hormones, depending on what the item is.

    The idea is to send more fat burning than fat storing hormones, so that the body does not hold onto the fat for later use. If you keep confusing the metabolism, you will see fast fat loss, as much as 9 pounds in 11 days, that is the first weightloss principle of Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet.

    How Does The Metabolism Control Weightloss?

    This scientific weight control fact about the metabolism and how it works stems from our ancestry as cavemen, when there were famine periods between hunts. The body would store and hold onto fat for survival. The metabolism has not evolved from this self-defense tactic and doesn't realize we can just run to the grocery store and get whatever we want.

    On restrictive diets, weightloss can plateau when the metabolism thinks it is experiencing a famine period, and it will only burn what is taken in. Even on some of the popular low carbohydrate diets, it is advised to eat pizza for two days when your weight plateaus to get the metabolism going.

    Why Do Some Weightloss Diets Leave You With No Energy?

    The only problem with many of these restrictive weightloss diets is the metabolism goes back to only burning what you take in and many people complain about being tired and worn down, when it is mainly the metabolism storing up the energy for later.

    By eating healthy, nutritious foods that are fat burning, the metabolism burns as much energy as you need. Many people on restrictive weightloss diets will regain the weight when they go back to eating normal foods.

    What Is The Best Diet For Weightloss?

    The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.

    Prepackaged fat loss products and frozen dinners are not something you can live on the rest of your live. You need to understand the basics of natural weight control, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet uses the fundamental principles of controlling the metabolism with calorie shifting normal foods you eat every day.

    Check my source, it might help. It's a diet that works. Good luck!

    Try weight watchers.. they give you a list of healthy food and stuff.. here..

    Hmm.. Weight Watchers actually works really well.

    It doesn't tell you what to eat, and it caters to your body type and everything..

    There are two plans, flex and core.

    The flex plan is easier, but still effective. You take a quiz, and it tells you how many points you should use a day. Then along with those points, usually around twenty or so, you get an additional 35 points you can use however you want throughout the week. There is a book that you get when you sign up that has almost all foods and their point values, along with a slider that you can manually figure out the point value.

    The core plan is harder, but you loose more per week. You get a pretty long list of foods on the core plan, and you can eat as much of those as you please. You also get an additional 35 free points a week that you can spend however you want.

    Another good thing about weight watchers is you record what you eat, so if you are over-eating, you will realize it..

    i wouldn't recomend a diet like weight watchers, you can end up getting quite a few nutritional deficencies if you stay on these diets long term and you will find that when you stop using the diet you will begin to gain weight again. The best thing to do is organise your routine so that you have a healthy diet and plenty of excercise without it taking over your life. Try and organise it so that you have a portion of protein, carbohydrate and green veggies/fruit with each meal. For example you might have a piece of chicken (protein) some roast potatoes (carbohydrate) and a green salad (fruit/green veggies) you'll find that this sort of diet will fill you up without making you gain weight or making you feel underfed. AVOID SUGAR AND FATTY FOOD!

    hope this helps :)

    I am on a diet now

    i lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks and lost three paint sizes :D

    for breakfast i eat 1 cup of special k cereal and a half a cup of milk and i measure it in a measuring cup. Right down everything you eat on a piece of paper and weigh your self every morning include that in your notebook. For school i take a hundred calorie snack. I eat again at 3 a smart one and then I don't eat again until 7 which is when I have dinner. I either eat golden spoon, tuna salad, or an egg with salad and a 45 calorie piece of toast. About thirty minutes later I have an apple and If im still hungry ill finally have pretzels or Quaker rice cakes. Dont forget to check the calories on everything you eat !!!!

    Eat plenty and plenty of uncooked greens. Get a few psyllium and use it day-to-day. Try to stroll on a tread mill for 20 mins two times an afternoon. In six weeks, in the event you stick with the software, you are going to drop some pounds. Find a way to soak up protein day-to-day, too. No sugar, no sweet, no dairy, no salt. If you desire the load off, it will take just a little paintings.
