We have seen numerous testimonials on the sales page and even more varied stories online.

Even though we only had a short amount of time (4 weeks) to try out the product, we did see a substantial amount of weight loss. Within those 4 weeks, our testing candidate was able to lose 7 ½ lbs. While not quite as much as they claim can be lost in that timeframe, we still thought that was very impressive considering how easy going the diet is (tons of variety and allows for some delicious meals!).

Furthermore, what was very noticeable is that there was minimal exercise involved in that weight loss. Our testing candidate followed the advice in the guide and took 2 brisk walks every 3 days. The most she walked was 5 miles in any one week.

If you don’t have time for walking, not even a walk to your local park/shops and back, then you may experience different results of course. Also, we think that some of her success was due to her will power to actually work the plan given.

While this is a very easy going diet that gives you a lot of discretion to eat different food types, you still have the feeling that you are on some form of diet so you may still get the resistant feeling kick in to “let it all go”.

However, unlike some of the more strict calorie counting diets that force rabbit food down your throat all day and night,  with this you do not feel so restricted and tied down to the program.

With a little bit more effort and exercise (perhaps the gym, a recreational sport, or even just a walk every day) she stated that she could have easily lost an additional 6 pounds in that same timeframe.

It’s difficult to say, but at this point the results look promising. An additional 6 months down the line will be interesting to see how the diet lasts long term like it is supposed to. Furthurmore, it almost seems like the weight is coming off too quickly, which is an additional reason why we feel that sticking to this diet for more than a couple of months could actually be bad for your health.

While the plan clearly does work specifically in reducing your body fat, there are still a couple of things which we are not too keen on with Fat Loss For Idiots on a whole…

The idea of losing large amounts of weight too quickly might be appealing at first, but it needs to be done cautiously due to health concerns.

Further, when losing weight so fast, it’s just as easy to put the weight back on in the long run. Therefore, it’s recommended that if you do buy this plan, that you have a strong motivation to KEEP the weight off in the future…otherwise you are sort of cheating yourself and you will destroy your self esteem and motivation from the constant yo-yo dieting.

In terms of the diet itself, although there is now a newer plan recently added to bring even more variety, some of the foods can get a bit repetitive after a while.

Our observations have led us to believe that not only is this plan best suited for short term use because of the fast weight loss results, but also because it would become a bit tedious consuming the same overall foods contained in the plan for a long term perspective.

Having said that, there is no reason why you can’t mix things up a little, but obviously you need to remember that the plans have been specifically created to increase metabolism and lower fat intake at the simutaniously, so mixing the plans up too much may have a negative effect.
