Weight loss success stories: Fat loss 4 idios II

This sounds like an excellent short-term solution. Especially good for dropping those last few pounds. The biggest advantage of something like this is that it gives solid, easy-to-follow meal plans with healthy foods. No "diet shakes" and single kinds of food to eat. I've lost 70 pounds of fat on my own over the past three years, and I'm at the point where I could use some diet-planning help. Give me a decent meal plan, and I'll follow it. This seems to give exactly what I need. Heck, I won't even need to use their program... With the examples given on this website, I could make my own! :-) By the way: On the first comment made about this article, Mary Crawford said that food isn't addictive. This isn't true. I myself am a recovering food addict. Any pleasurable sensation can cause an addiction, and food is definitely on that list. Food addictions have many of the effects of other addictions: Feelings of guilt and shame, hiding to consume the substance (food in this case), feeling very unhappy when all the substance (food) has been consumed, being told to "use a little willpower, won't ya?", low self-esteem coming from the associated problems (weight gain and health issues, in this case)... The list goes on. The part I hate the most is that people will just say "It's simple! The solution to your problem is to eat less. If you ate less, you wouldn't be fat!" Their ignorance really shows in those statements. The thing is, diets won't work unless the person realises they have a food addiction. Most people I have talked to who have shown signs of addiction refused to believe it at first, and I had to disprove every one of their rationales for their overeating. I don't blame them at all; I was the same a few years ago, and the reasons they gave were the very reasons I had used. "It would be a waste of food... I'm just weak... I bought it, I'm going to eat it... There are starving children in Africa... But it's so tasty... I don't have this very often..." The list goes on.I have found that throwing tasty food away in the sink and running water over it is a great step in feeling empowered. What I recommend is to do a search for "Overeaters Anonymous". You'll come up with www.oa.org. They have a wealth of information. Thanks for your time!

I'm taking the plunge today! I paid the $27 a couple of weeks ago but I travel quite a bit (for work) and this is the 1st time I'll actually be home to prepare my meals. I've read everyone's comments and greatly appreciate them. I'd LOVE to drop about 25 lbs...so I'll be back at the end of 11 days to share my results! Thanks again all!

GREAT !!!!!! I just love this diet.... I like "instant" results it's what keeps you goin'The food was great and the fact that you got a choice was a bonus, all for the princely sum of one trip to Weightwatchers.... I have dropped a dress size in the fist eleven days and will continue for another 11. PLEEEEZE remember all you knockers that it is only for 11 days and if you don't learn anything after that you deserve the title !!!! Katie I bought this diet yesterday and today is my first day on. I am very excited about it as I have tried so many diets and programs that just dont seem to work for me. I found it funny that people were offended by the term idiot in the diet title. If you read what the diet is about, you can see that it is idiot proof in that it tells you what to eat. With other diets that tell you to eat a "sensible meal", Like what? This takes all the guess work out for you. I also found it funny that the reviews at the begining were comparing it to a low carb diet, which it does also not seem to be. There are carbs in the diet and fruit and vegetables. In reality I picked a bad week to start the plan, but did not want to delay any longer (I have a party/lunch that I have to attend this weekend which falls on my fruit and veggie day. I am hoping that there will be salad there as I dont want to cheat)> Someone else had posted the question of what do you do for your 3 days off? I dont plan on going hog wild or anything but would like some idea of what other people have done. Any help would be great. I will post my progress at the end of the 11 days. :-)

HI - I did this diet for about 2 months and lost 20 lbs (I'm about to restart it on Monday) It was the easiest diet I've ever done - although the food DOES get repititious, I needed a little break....don't worry about your cheat days, eat normally, it's important in order to "trick" your metabolism and start losing again the next cycle, yes, you'll gain back a couple pounds during those cheat days, but it's just water weight,it's gone again after a couple days back on the diet. The closer you get to your goal wieght, the slower the weight comes off, but for me, it did keep coming off just varied (8lbs, then 2, then 5, then 3...)there WAS a support forum on this sight which was AWSOME - lots of people on the diet sharing experiences, tips, recipies, unfortunately, someone ruined it for the rest of us and Jim was forced to chut it down.....I definately recommend this diet to everyone who asks me what I did to lose so much!

I bought the diet today as I have already been on a diet for a week (lost 6lbs on my own) and wanted to add some spice to what I was already doing. The information is straight forward and to the point about dieting and excersizing.... there is no magic cure. I was sceptical though about the 9lbs in 11days but for 27.00 what the heck. I just got done cooking my meals for tomorrow and I am actually very excited about getting started but a little nervous as I want to be sure not to over eat. I will follow this plan strictly for the next 11 days and let you know how it goes.
