the idiot proof diet?

Author: admin Category: Idiot Proof Dieting

I am overweight, having health problems galore, I need to ger some weight off fast so I can become more mobile,,I can hardly walk, then when I get to moving I can slow down the weightloss, my question is has anyone tried THE IDIOT PROOF DIET, ive ready only good reports but still skeptical, the cost is 40.oo one time fee,

Ok… as someone who has lost over 100lbs I have tried many many ways of losing weight (south beach diet,diet pills,starvation,ect.) about anything you can think of I have probably tried and I have discovered that the only way to truly lose weight,keep it off, and stay healthy in the process is a program that I use similar to weight watchers but it has many differences; I started it at my gym when I was a part of a 3 month “ultimate loser” program. The way it works is you take your current weight multipy it by 11 if your a woman 12 if you are a man and then you get the total amount of calories you can eat a day and not gain weight. Then you keep track of your calories on a daily basis and write it down. In order to lose weight you need to cut back on your “allowed” calories 11/12 x current weight. 3500 calories is equal to one lb. so in order to lose lbs. you cut back on calories and keep track of the difference in allowed calories and eaten calories. so for example if I am allowed 2000 calories a day based on my weight and I cut that down to 1200 calories a day then that leaves 800 calories difference. there are 7 days in a week if I were to eat 1200 calories each day and have an exess of 800 a day that would be 4200 calories a week which devided by 3500 calories (one lb) would mean I would lose 1.2 lbs that week. Now the key to lose weight the fastest is to do this along with excersise. Dont start out crazy and burn yourself out instead start out working out 3 times a week and work up to more. When you do work out keep track of the calories burned and then add that to your exess calories for the day so say i burn 350 calories at the gym 3 days a week I add that to my weeks total of 4200 calories so it would be 5250 excess calories (devided by 3500) = to 1.5 lbs so you loose more weight by working out. This is just an example of what is possible you can drop your calories as much as you want ( I would not go below 1000 a day) this seems like very little but if you choose healthy foods that 1000 calories a day can go far. You can also work out many more times a week then 3 but starting out I would take it slow so you dont get burned out and quit. The more you weigh the more you can potentally lose. I know it sounds like a lot of work and maybe a slower process than you hoped but in order to lose the weight and keep it off forever you have to do it the right way. although fad diets offer a quick fix it will not change your lifestyle forever and enable you to stay fit and healthy. I encourage you to try this for a few weeks… if done correctly It will work! also only weigh once a week at the same time of day.. wearing the same clothes or none at all… allow some variation for water weight…. I have heard that this program is similar to the one used on the biggest loser. I know it may seem like a lot of work but losing weight is never easy but totally worth it! I am so greatful for my weight loss and this program not only enables me to contnue in my quest but also has helped me mantain my weight for years… Good Luck! I hope this helped!

    The only truly idiot-proof diet is, very simply, eating sensibly and in moderation, and saving the fatty things like butter, cream, cream cheese, for special occasions. Cut out white bread, subsitute it with wholemeal or wholegrain bread. And cut out junk food - there's a reason it's called junk food.

    You need to eat 5 or 6 small, healthy meals a day, half of those need not include carbs (but don't cut out carbs yet, keep portions to between 80 and 100grammes at a time), but should include fresh fruit and/or vegetables. Learn about food and what's good for you, and don't be afraid to try out herbs and spices.

    You'll feel a bit better even after a few days, and you should be able to go for short walks in a few weeks. After that, you'll be flying - as you feel more mobile and healthier, you'll feel like doing more.

    Aim to lose 2 pounds a week. Remember than muscle built is heavier than fat, but takes up a fraction of the space.

    And good luck with it. And save that 40 dollars for a nice top to treat yourself when you've lost the first 20 or 30 pounds.

    The only idiot proof diet anyone needs is this.
    Eat less and exercise more.
    And it doesn’t cost $40.00.

    I’m not trying to be mean. (I could use a diet myself.)
    I just hate to see people spend good money on bad products.
    There are plenty of good diets available on the internet at no cost. You just have to look a little harder for the free ones.

    Good luck.

    for exercise walking has much has u can will do a lot even if it is just back and forth from the couch to the tv instead of using the remote get as much movement as you can bare, also if you can get some exercise stretch bands it will help you build lean muscle and not bulky because lean muscles burn fat if you stick to this plan you will lose weight and if you don’t believe me ask a doctor

    also stay away from soft drinks and juices with large amouts of sugar
