This is the first in a series of articles that examines, scrutinizes, and exposes so-called idiot proof weight loss programs.

The first diet plan that we will scrutinize is called Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This diet has 7 basic steps (1) eating 4 meals a day; (2) eliminating sweets; (3) alternating between carbs and protein intake; (4) exercise in the form of walking; (5) drinking plenty of water; (6) cooking your own meals in your home; (7) eating only until you are satisfied not full.

The Plan is easy to follow because you are provided with a diet generator that creates daily diet plans for you. They claim that by following the diet you lose 9 pounds every 11 days.

Let's cover the bad news first, the forbidden foods. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet excludes starchy carbs like pasta, potatoes, and bread. Not all carbs are forbidden, however, this isn't the Atkins diet. More bad news, alcohol is by and large exclude. With one exception, you're allowed one glass of wine daily. Lastly, there are no calorie restrictions or portion limits, but you are encouraged to eat only until satisfied not until you are full.

Does it work? The research that I've done shows that a majority of the people that use the diet like their supposed to, actually lose weight. I've scoured chat rooms, forums, google, yahoo, msn, and other search engines. By and large, the overall response is positive.

The complaints: that the diet becomes a little repetitive and bland after a while. Boo hoo hoo this is a diet people. If it was easy it'd be called a vacation.

The ultimate conclusion, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a success. The people that followed the diet lost weight. A large majority lost on average three to 6 pounds every week. The diet's claim that you lose 9 pounds every 11 days is backed up by my research. Visit my site today to learn more.
