Fat Loss 4 Idiots

It seems like I have tried every diet on the market, but I always gain back what I lost, and it usually brings reinforcements with it. I have never heard of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. Has anyone tried it? If so, does it seem to work?

Any diet that limits calories 'works' but as you found out you cant
keep it off unless you adopt it, and change it into your lifestyle.
Thats the crunch - you have to change your eating/exercise/living
habits or you are doomed to yoyo back and forth! Acceptance of that
change is the bottom line and the end to stupid dieting. I dont diet, I
eat healthy. What changed my perception of food in part, is condensed
in this blog entry my Margaret Cho:

The Fatloss4$Idiots plan you referred to is a just bandwagon website
that is basically just an info-you-should-know-already-site, and if you
dont know it, then its your own falult and you should educate yourself!
Dont pay someone to do work that you yourself should be doing for
yourself! Educating yourself about nutrition is a freeing experience.
This site is just basic nutrition, a few recipes thrown in to look
good, and doesnt hold you accountable to anything, just to pay them so
much a month for stuff you already knew but they make it all packaged
and shiny and new so you think its better now.

Remember nothing 'works' until you stop the insanity of dieting and
truely start living.

Yep. You got to a size you are not happy with by eating a certain
way. You can go on various diets and lose weight with them till you are
blue in the face, if you like. But you will always gain the weight back
when you go off these diets and go back to you old eating habits. Your
choices are to stop trying to lose weight altogether and just accept
your size, continue to yo-yo diet and continue to regain back the weight
you lose, find a diet you like enough to stick with for the rest of your
life, or learn how to make consistent changes in your way of eating that
have you eating less calories than you burn off, and stick with that for
the rest of your life. I wish it were not so, but there simply is no
diet out there that can keep you thinner once you go off it and go back
to your old lifestyle.
