Looking for a weight-loss plan that's idiot proof? Well, that's exactly how Fat Loss 4 Idiots is marketing itself. The plan which sells itself as an accelerated fat loss diet promises 9 pounds in 11 days. Say goodbye to low carb, low calorie and low fat. According to the website, none of those approaches are effective tools to lasting weight loss.

The idiot-proof approach is to manipulate fat-burning hormones in order to minimize the storage of fat-storing hormones. Instead of cutting back on what you consume, they claim you'll eat more than three times the amount you usually do.

One of the main tenet's of the Idiot Proof Diet is the shifting calorie theory. The metabolism burns calories based on an individual's defeating habits. It expects the body to eat in a certain manner. In an effort to surprise the metabolism, the dieter needs to shift the ypes of calories eaten to promote the burning process.

Once the body has finished burning the calories, it will move onto burning fat tissue. In order for the technique to work, the foods must be fat burning compatible which means they should be easy to burn. With the Idiot Proof Diet, all of the food alternates between one type of calorie to the next.
