Fat Loss 4 Idiots have been around for quite a while now. You may have noticed their famous slogan “lose 9 lbs in 11 days” and thought “no chance”, or even something stronger!

But they have something different to offer from most other diet regimes. Their main system is based around a diet principle called “calorie shifting”. Have you noticed that it is practically impossible to lose weight on a “starvation” diet? Even on a normal diet, there is often an initial weight loss followed by … nothing, zero, zilch. This is because the body can anticipate how many calories that it is likely to receive in the near future and can therefore actually regulate how many calories it is going to burn right now – today.

It is a somewhat incredible concept, but it has been proven to be true. How many times have you or someone that you know tried to lose weight by just cutting down on the amount of food eaten? How many times has that person lost weight for the first few days or weeks even (if they were lucky) and then had their weight loss stop completely? What has happened is that the body has accepted the reduced calorie intake initially with the result that some weight has been lost. But then the body has worked out that this reduction in calories is actually permanent – it has detected a trend. As part of the body’s self-defence mechanism, it has then actually reduced the number of calories that it uses per day to ensure that there is a reserve available for emergencies. It is this reduction in the daily consumption that has caused the weight loss to stop. Fortunately, there is an answer to this problem – a way to outwit the body and to confuse it (harmlessly).

All foods have calories in them. By varying the calorie intake in a specific way, it is possible to prevent the body from detecting any patterns in the calorie intake. This means that the body cannot predict what food it is likely to receive in the near future and therefore it cannot reduce the calorie burn-off to a specific level. So by changing or shifting the calories eaten, it is still possible to lose weight – hence the term calorie shifting.

This shifting of calories can be obtained using one of two methods. The easiest is by using the Diet Generator that is provided online. Only one payment is required to gain ever-lasting access to this system which creates an 11-day menu literally at the press of a button. This menu is based on the foods that you select from two lists provided by the system. There is a short video on using the diet generator system.

The other method is to download the handbook which provides information on how to achieve the same effect, although not as rapidly. Topics include such things as the rotation of the required food types, beverages, the disadvantages of intensive exercise, restaurant eating and water retention.

Whichever method you chose, calorie shifting is one of the easiest and cheapest dieting methods available today.
