FOOD LOVERS FAT LOSS SYSTEM

ok, so i wake up this morning, turn on food network, and see th fat lovers fat loss program once again. I am still flabergasted by the fact that i see almost no one using this plan on here. You get to eat like an everyday human being, eat out, eat pancakes, chocolate, waffles, steak, potatos, EVERYTHING. Yet people don't want to do it. When people diet, they typically try and set a standard eating habit for the rest of their lives. By reducing your calorie intake to 1200-1400 calories per day, there is a high probability that you will gain that weight back in the future. Reason being is because at that point you have two choices..
1- continue eating 1200-1400 cals per day and wtch your bones deteriorate over time... or
2- go back to eating normally at about 2000 calories per day and maybe even continue to increase from there, and see yourself gaining some weight back.

What people should really take into consideration is that the Fat Lovers Fat Loss System is not a diet. It is a way of life. You don't remove foods from your everyday intake, you just combine protein, a slow carb, and a fast carb together. This puts your body into fat burning mode almost 24/7 and it keeps your blood sugar levels from going up to high, or dropping down to low (which a lot of diets where people eat 1200cals/day do). I bet if more people on this site try it, there willl be twice as much weight loss, and twice as many happy and healthy lives continuing on in the future.

-I wonder how many people I can get to swithc over.. hmmm ;)

    Sounds interesting...I will have to check it out. I haven't heard of it...probably because having a husband a 5 year old son I don't get to control the remote that often :) What I do know is that I am definitely not dieting now. I am eating proper portions of the foods I like, and I love it! Thanks for posting!

    Might be good, but it's too complicated for me.. lol, i know what contains proteins and i know what contains carbs, but i know nothing of slow and fast carbs and unless someone produces a list for me, i don't feel like researching lol.. i've been losing weight like this so far so i'm happy..

    although i hvae to admit, i still eat everything, meat potatoes vegetables snacks, i didn't cut out anything and my dinners are almost always a form of potatoes, vegetables and meat.. maybe i'm unknowingly alreayd doing it..

    It sounds like a great idea, but, just like Weight Watchers, you have to pay for it, and as I'm a poor student, I'd rather do it my way, even if it's slower and not as effective. I'll get to the same end one day anyway :)

    I googled it... I am trying to save money - so it's not for me. But it probably is a good plan and helps guide those who will use it.
    Thanks for the info.

    I bet most of us aren't going to eat 1200-1500 calories per day for the rest of our lives, just until we reach our goal weight. Then we'll eat maintenance calories. For me (female) that will be closer to 1600, for men that will be closer to (2000).

    There is a book "Diet free for Life" written by Robert Ferguson. It is the same program, same author/creator of Food Lovers infomercial. Much cheaper and the same program.

    Thanks for bringing up this topic and sharing the program info. I downloaded the book onto my Kindle and started reading it. His program fits my attitude and goals for weight loss so I'm going to read the book and try the plan to make some progress. I see this as a lifestyle for me and not a diet. I've failed too many of those and don't believe in deprivation, going hungry, and thinking about food all the time so that I sabotage myself and get discouraged. So along the way I'll report back and tell how it went.:bigsmile:

    My parents did this, and it worked so well that they were in one of the commercials that's airing now, actually. They're both keeping the weight off really well! The most important thing is to stick to the schedule they give you. I think that it can work for anyone if you commit to it.

    Ummm, you're seriously bumping this, are you selling it?
    I'm in Australia and have never heard of it, and am quite happy with what I'm doing.
    But, I guess it 's always good to know there are different options for different folks.

    No I'm not selling it I just want to give people an alternative to what they are doing and hopefully it could work for them :) that's good to know that you are happy for what you are doing. Then this thread isn't for you
