Which diets work - and which ones fail?

by Lauren Todd

Created on: October 30, 2009

Wow, myself and my daughter have tried numerous other diets, to include: Nutrisystem, the Pilates Weight Loss Plan, the Adkins Diet and the Curves Weight Loss Plan, and lost zero weight or lost it and gained it right back. What we have found is that Fat Loss For Idiots is the most sensible, inexpensive and effective of all four, by far.

Before I begin to extol the praises of this diet or any other though, it is important to note that a diet tailor fit to the needs of an individual simply does not exist; except for those with unlimited funds and a personal trainer creating a weekly specialty menu! This means of course, that not everyone that tries this diet will get the same results.

First off, this diet is simply sensible. This is a diet where, unlike others I have tried, specialty foods at exhorbitant prices are simply not part of the plan. In the Nutrisystem diet I found myself shelling out upwards of 150 dollars for a box of prepackaged pre-measured food items that tasted for the most part, terrible; on a weekly basis. The Adkins diet is not founded upon sensible principles either; as a person is expected to pack in about 3-6 pounds of meat a day, with little or no carbohydrates, natural sugars from fruits and no dairy products, for the first three weeks of the diet. Curves Weight Loss was an ordeal too, in that a substitution for an food item could only be included if that substituted food had been calculated to match the existing meals of the day in terms of carb, fat, protein and calorie content. By the time myself and my daughter had put down the calculator, we had already missed the next meal! If you have ever tried any of these diets, than you know what I am talking about.

The Weight Loss For Idiots is truly a simple diet plan that anyone can understand. The theory is somewhat revolutionary as it follows this type of reasoning; the body gets used to whatever set food patterns that we establish for it. It becomes comfortable and performs accordingly. So, change the pattern, upset the established order, if you will, and see desired results. The food pattern on Weight Loss For Idiots for nine days is pretty much the same. Three days out of the week do not resemble any other days. On one of these days, the second day, you will eat fruit all day, from the designated list you have created at the beginning of the week, on the eighth day you will eat vegetables all day, and one of the days, you don't get any fruit or veges, only protein and dairy for that
