I stuck relegiously to it for 3 months and lose 7 pound. I have quite a lot to lose so i thought i would lose more.The main problem was i ended up with too much uric acid in the blood and now my joints are painful but im going to try fast tract hypnosis. Keeping my fingers crossed.My friend also tried it and only lost 3 pound in a month.
Edit this is something i read
I should know. I’m an idiot.

I bought the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program a few years ago (Actually, I think it was called “Weight Loss 4 Idiots” then). I was tempted by their claim that I could “lose 9 pounds in 11 days” by “eating foods that I choose”. I was excited to fork over my money and begin my journey to weight loss success.

What happened? Well, when I tried to select my foods, I was presented with a list of food choices, many of which I didn’t like. Despite what they’ll tell you in the advertisements, this is a high protein low carb diet. And I’m a vegetarian. There were many “fake meat” products to choose from, but I don’t like those either.

Still, I thought that I might be able to substitute foods that I did like and somehow apply the principle of the diet. I didn’t like what I saw. Other review sites will tell you that you get to eat “4 square meals a day” on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program. But this isn’t entirely true. You do get to eat four meals a day. However, the “meals” consist of one food only. How much of any one food can a person eat? Not much.

What about all the additional information that comes with the program? There was not a single piece of information on that site which I hadn’t already heard from a free source.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots only works because it is a very low calorie, low carb diet. However, it’s just that. A diet. It doesn’t teach you how to properly eat so that you don’t gain weight when you go off the diet. It’s likely that this is just a temporary solution.
The weight will come back.

The reality is that losing weight permanently isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. I know that’s not a popular sentiment, but it’s the truth. You are much better off making healthy changes over time that become a permanent part of your life.

One day she realized that people would rather hear dieting advice from someone who’s “been there, done that” than a boring old doctor who’s never been fat a day in his life. So she started the website Better Off Fat to share her experiences and ideas.

Laura asks…

Can anyone tell me a fast diet to loss weight?

I am going on a cruise in a few months and I need to lose around 30 lbs so I won’t be embarrassed when I go swimming. Can someone recommend a fast weight loss diet that doesn’t cost tons of money?

Thanks!

I think it all starts with eating right and doing excerise first. I wasn’t always in shape. Many years ago I was very overweight and didn’t watch what I ate and it quickly became out of control. I tried every machine and diet food out there..along with many diet programs but none of them worked. A few years back I tried a program called the automatic fat loss system http://www.bestfastweightlossdiet.com which worked wonders for me. It takes you through everything you need to know in order to lose weight fast. Try it out , it may work for you in time for the cruise! Have fun!!! The link is below if you want to look at that program Mike:

Richard asks…

Why is everyone so preoccupied with fast weight loss?

Fast is the worst possible way to lose weight. Do people not realize that fast weight loss always comes back? Or do they not care? Or do they not believe it? 10 points best answer.

dave answers:

Hi!
How refreshing to see that someone agrees with me and many other health professionals out there. Every day as Dietitians, we battle with people who are trying to loose weight. They want to loose it quickly, we suggest no more than 0.5-1.5 kg per week (1-3 pounds).

I hope many other people are reading these comments and hopefully learning something. When you drastically cut back calories or eliminate a food group from your diet (i.e carbohydrates) you will get rapid weight loss. In the short term, your muscle will shed the fluid that they naturally hold on to. This initial fluid loss presents are weight loss on the scales and people go yippee!!. However the percentage of actual fat lost is small unless the diet continues for months and months. You also can loose muscle weight on extreme diets and this is the worst thing for your metabolism, which needs muscle to burn the calories you consume so it is indirectly sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

However most people don’t stick to diets for that long so when it is stopped, they will regain the fluid they have lost (not a bad thing) but also added fat that they may not have had before which is why diets are oftenblamed for making us bigger instead of smaller! Diets also don’t teach you to change your bad habits, or learn new healthy cooking methods etc. You need to get to the bottom of why you are overweight/overeating rather than search for a quick fix.

When we lose weight sensibly in the amounts I have recommended, you start losing fat straight away and retain your stored fluid and muscle mass. The best way I have found is a diet low in fats i.e 25%, 20% protein and 55% carbohydrates however others may disagree.

The bottom line is that gaining fat is much easier than losing it and so it should be. So please people, take the time, change your food habits, see a professional Nutritionist or Dietician and learn some patience and perseverence

best of luck to all
