It's fairly easy... It promises you 9 lbs in 11 days and it's true... then you take 3 days off and then do it again. My second round I'm not loosing quite as fast but I'm still loosing...When all else failed for me... I would exercise my BUTT off but it wouldn't fall off. It's is now. Anyway it's Fatloss for Idiots... I know this kinda sounds like an ad but it's not! I've been here on fitnesspal for a couple of years now... But before you get Fatloss for idiots research it... no one has anything bad to say. i'll keep you posted on my success

    Bump!!! More please!
  • I saw a 50% discount coupon. How much is it? Expensive?
  • It's $40. and 100% money back if your not satisfied. It's a computer download so you don't have to wait for anything to come in the mail which was nice. What it is, is a generator... it gives you a list of foods and you select the ones that you like. You want to choose the max amount so that you have a wider range of items on your menu. Then it generates a meal plan for you. It gives you 4 meals to eat for 11 days. You can eat a days meals in any order but you need to stick with that menu for that day. It's based on calorie confusion. Instead of your body eating the same low calories everyday and then setting itself to burn less calories, you take in different amounts of calories from meal to meal instead of day to day. Your body burns one meal before you even take in a second. The big key is realizing when you are satisfied... not stuffed.
    It is much smaller meals but you don't really get hungry because you have 4 of them a day. Plus it's only for 11 days then you get 3 days off. Those 3 days off you can eat normally. I love it! The first 11 days I lost 10 lbs. Ofcourse the first thing you loose when your dieting is water weight, so that's why that number is so high... but I'm on day 7 of the second 11 days and I've lost 6 lbs. It also comes with a handbook that instructs you on what diet you should do if you want less weightloss or maintain. The diet is made for people who do not exercise. So the weightloss promise is even if you don't workout... ofcourse the more you do the better the results (within reason). That being said... be careful and don't overdo it! You shouldn't loose more than lb a day. Anyway... read it's information... don't just take my word for it. Read the website and do alittle research on it... I search for 3 hours and couldn't find anything that said it didn't work... the worst I found was some people only lost 6 lbs instead of 9. But if y'all are like me... I'LL TAKE THAT.

    Can You give more info on the meals it gave for you
  • Can You give more info on the meals it gave for you

    It gives you a list of foods, you can choose 30 foods. Then it gives you 11 days 4 meals a day. Each meal you can eat as much as you want as long as you don't stuff yourself... it said the key is to make sure you have room for dessert but eat it, or if your not sure then go ahead and stop. For example... this morning for breakfast I had scrambled eggs with sliced cheese melted on top. Then I will have Roast beef deli meat with BBQ sauce, then for dinner Shrimp sauteed in butter with Cajun seasoning... then my 4th meal is Frozen Yogurt. For each meal it gives you 3 or 4 different things... you can eat all or just one of the foods. Again you can eat as much as you want... it's not per serving... but realize when you are satisfied.

    It's sounds high protein..low carb
  • It's sounds high protein..low carb

    It's Calorie confusion... not a low calorie or low carb... it doesn't focus on that.
    Reguardless though, it's working for me... I just thought I would share my new found secret so that maybe it would help others. By the way... I've lost 2 lbs since first posting this.

    yeah, this is a heavily internet marketed plan that is extremely restrictive, (1 food per meal, I.E. for dinner you would have turkey and.... turkey), advertises weight losses that are not healthy (9 pounds in 11 days is NOT healthy unless you are morbidly obese, and if that's the case, you could most likely do that without needing to resort to a restrictive plan), any plan that drastically alters your eating habits and food types from what you expect to eat for the rest of your life is not an ideal way to lose weight.

    To be healthy you want to limit your portions, eat a healthy, balanced, diet, and slowly and gradually raise the portion sizes until your weight is where you want it and your calorie intake is at maintenance. Why change how you eat just to lose weight, just so you can change it back again, learn a whole new way to eat, and make your body adjust yet again?


    Would I call this plan a scam? Not specifically, but I wouldn't do it, nor would I ever recommend it to someone. If it's something that you want to do, you understand the risks, and want it anyway, fine, but how about explaining the whole plan from top to bottom to us, including food types, costs, restrictions, upsides, downsides, timelines, and expectations. At least then we could make our own decisions on it.

    Well, congrats on finding the "diet" for you.

    Now, what are you going to do for your lifestyle when the weight is off? Are you going to eat like that the rest of your life?

    Just based on search results, it's apparent this company is out to saturate the internet with false advertisement, buying up 90% of the fatloss for idiot domains, and every which variant of it. Yes, you'll probably lose 9 pounds in 11 days THE FIRST round, but it certainly won't be fat, and certainly won't be repeatable for very long once you're metabolism shuts down.

    This is to all you who are criticizing... First off I did include...cost, restrictions, upsides, downsides, time lines, and expectaton... I also said check it out for yourself before taking my word for it. I also said that it comes with a handbook on information on how to maintain your new weight or loose weight at a slower pace. The guarantee... if's it there, then why not.. I tried it and it's working for me.

    I didn't put a gun to anyone's head and make you all do anything... I simply found something that is working for me and thought that I would share... that is what this website is about! If you all want to be so close minded then you should keep your negativity to yourselves. Try it or don't try it...either way I don't care... I just thought that I'd share my success... again, that's what this website is for.

    First of all do you get off on being rude??? The "guarantee" is not necessarily on the weightloss... and I didn't say it was. The "guarantee" means that if you are not satisfied with your results then it's 100% money back guarantee.

    you didn't include risks, like the risk of creating a deficit that allows you to lose 9 lbs in 11 days without exercise, which is an unhealthy model by any medical definition (unless under direct supervision of a medical professional), or like the risk of severely restricting your food types which can generate massive gaps in the micro-nutrient levels in a person's body.

    You didn't include a timeline, which would strongly influence people's thoughts on whether the plan is a long term road to success or just a quick fix, you included a fast overview of when you eat what, and the days between, but what about after 3 months, what about an example of the food diary for the week, what about supplements you need to take while doing this.

    I mean, I'm not trying to be spiteful, but really, you do a search on this topic on line, and the first 5 pages of google hits are all glowing reviews of the product, similar to the lemonade diet and other scams that have been touted, it wreaks of scam, maybe it isn't, but really, after looking through all the pages, it doesn't fill me with confidence, as an IT professional, to me it looks like someone's trying to capitalize on people who are a little desperate, and want results NOW. And this plan will obviously give quick results, but they don't necessarily give long term results, and for the most part, on MFP, I know people are looking towards a healthy lifestyle, not a quick fix.

    HAHA.. obviously you didn't read the articles.... the second one explains that it does work, that it is not a scam.
    The first one... clearly they didn't do the diet. each meal you are given several foods to choose from, you can eat 1, some, or all the foods at each meal. The key is to learn when you are satified. The types of food are set up in a way to work with eachother to help burn fat.

    I just want to respond and let you know that you should do your own research on the diet. I did mine and I liked what I saw, that is why I chose to forgo this diet. But clearly there are people that don't approve of me announcing this. So I just wanted to say again... look it up and make the choice for yourself... also articles that you see on them titled "Scam" or something along the lines.... actually read the article.... all the one that I personally came across said it was not... but again look it up for yourself.

    this is called viral marketing, companies do it all the time. Squidoo is a free website that allows users to create their own page quickly and easily. This site (and many others like it) do very minimal monitoring of their sites and thus users are basically free to put anything they want on it. Just because it's in a site doesn't make it real.

    First off, it's not about being close minded, but I've been learning & reading about fitness & nutrition for years now & know a quick fix scam when I see one. To lose 9 lbs of FAT in 11 days means you have to be in a 2864 calorie deficit EVERY DAY. Most people's BMR isn't even that high. Don't you see, THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP!!!!

    Success? Success is loosing the weight & keeping it off for the rest of your life, not loosing 8 lbs in a week.

    And no that's not what this site is about. It's about people wanting to lose weight the proper way through a lifestyle change that includes some physical activity & a sensible nutrition plan. What you're doing is spreading unhealthy, potentially dangerous propaganda. If that means I'm rude, then I guess I am.

    The point was that it was not bad about the diet...

    If you don't agree with it fine... don't do it! I posted long ago don't take my word for it! Look it up for yourself... I did and I decided to give it a try. For me it's working... If you look it up and decide that you don't want to try it, FINE! Really! FINE! This is kind of silly! I simply posted a hoorah and am being slamed for it. Just because I am doing it doesn't mean you should too!!! Every persons situation is different! This diet works for me! I am a mom of 3 beautiful little girls. Going to the gym 1-2 hours a day is not easy for me... I'm looking for a solution for myself not for you! I simply put this out there because aside from you there might be someone who is like me and ready for something to change. I am one of those people that can't get motivated to get into a good routine unless I see atleast some results fast. I posted this for me and for an option for others. I didn't post it to make it law!
  • For those of you that are incredibly offended by my post, feeling that I am forcing something of all of you. The topic of this post is "I have found the diet for me!!!" No where did I say you do it. I simply threw a brief description of it and said I would keep you posted on me. Then when I was asked about the diet... I answer the question... again I did not say DO IT nor if I did would you have to listen to me. I'm done arguing about this! My faith in MFP is declining! I simply made a harmless post and was slapped in the face for it! I have been a member of this website for years and I too know the mathmatics of weightloss... I also know that sometimes it doesn't work, for whatever reason. I am not giving medical advice nor advice at all! I was simply telling my personal story.

    I myself, am not offended by the post at all. When you post on a public forum, you must be aware that people may challenge your opinions. That's the nature of public forums.

    I pointed out simply in my own opinion, the flaws I see in this diet. Whether you like this or not is on you, not me. I mean, if you want to debate what I consider major flaws, I'm fine with that, and if your points are solid and accurate, maybe I'll change my tune. if that's something you want to do, great, I've had my opinion changed on MFP before, and I'm sure it'll happen again.

    The problem I see, is that this post extols the virtues of the diet, implying that it's a great way to lose weight. And I don't feel that it is, I feel that it's unhealthy, and full of issues. I don't need you to be happy about that, but generally, if I see something on here I strongly disagree with, I voice my opinion on it. I don't see anything wrong with that. You may feel like it's me picking on you, or carrying out some personal vendetta, but I'm not, I'm simply trying to make sure that people see both sides of this plan. It's only my opinion. Like it or not, that's the whole reason why this whole forum was set up. So people could talk about ideas, discuss differing opinions, and have thoughtful (and sometimes emotional) debate about all things fitness and health relates. At least that's how I interpret it.

    SHBoss, thanks to you and the other fellow for "pointing out these flaws" on this ones diet plan.......like the other fellow said, in order to lose so much weight so fast, youd be giving up at least 35, 000 calories? I thought it was -3500 calories = 1 lb lost, so shes here pushing this diet, not calculating how much you need to be in the deficit mode....

    nah, Il just stick to eating sensible, exercing, and coming here and getting support from my friends.......

    Some one ought to ask her if she gets a kick back or a commission off of each member that sends money her way?

    Thanks for watching out for us in here guys.......I apprecaite it......Lloyd

    This is the last post I will be making because frankly this is ridiculous!
    To you sir, how dare you attack me personally! Atleast the other guy has the dignity to attack the idea and not the person! I in no way am "pushing this diet"! I simply posted what I am doing and made curtousy post when people inquired. As you can see I clearly said each and everytime that if someone was interested they needed to look it up for themselves. Shame on you for passing harsh judgment on someone the way you have. You don't know me nor know my situation.


    As far as SHBoss, your opinion fair and well noted. I again have not tried to push anyone to do this diet. I also didnt at anytime state that it was a healthy way to go. All I have stated is that it promises results and I have had those results. I again know the mathematics of weightless. I found something that is currently working for me, so I personally choose to continue with it. Everyone else may make their own choices about how they want to go about loosing their weight. Although this was an unwanted debate I appreciate you keeping it about the topic.

    and to you Madam, I sincerely apologize. I meant nothing against you, it was mainly your diet and the expectations from it.

    I ve offended you, and for this, I am sorry. If it works for you, then so be it. What you are doing is working for you, and what I have done has worked for me. I am always suspicious of fad diets, and fad weight losses, matter of fact, some one just started a "Fad Diet Post" on the boards about 15 mins ago.............

    Again, please accept my aplogy.....Lloyd
  • Thank you for that!
