Fat Loss 4 Idiots Versus The 17 Day Diet - How To Lose Weight Fast

By Granny's House

Disclaimer: Just like with any diet, check with your doctor first and do your own research. I am not promoting these diets. Just giving a review on Fat Loss 4 Idiots Vs. The 17 Day Diet. I am not an affiliate of either one.

Metabolic Confusion

I know what you are thinking. Here we go again, another weight loss diet. No, this is not like those diets where you have to starve yourself to death or count every calorie or fat gram.

The Fat loss 4 Idiots and 17 Day Diet actually teach you a new way how to eat. So if you are eating right, you will lose the weight and keep it off. Let us not forget portion control. I have lost and kept the weight off just by eating smaller portions.

In my search I came across Fat Loss 4 Idiots and The 17 Day Diet, (created by Dr. Moreno). The Fat Loss 4 Idiots claims you can loss 9 to 12 pounds in eleven days. The 17 Day Diet claims you will loss up to 12 pounds in 17 days. Just like with any diet, I think this depends on how committed you are.

This is how they work.

Metabolic Confusion or calorie shifting is not a new idea. This idea of weight loss has been around for several years.

Metabolic confusion also known as calorie shifting causes very fast weight loss. Your body regulates your metabolism based on how you eat. So if you mix your daily eating habits your body can not get used to any specific eating routine. You eat meals with different caloric values to trick your metabolism. Your body will naturally raise metabolism and fat burning levels to maintain control. What happens, fast weight loss.

The most popular metabolic diets are Fat Loss 4 Idiots and The 17 Day Diet. The reviews are from what I have read. I have not as of yet started to use either one.

Dr. Moreno - 17 Day Diet

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Vs 17 Day Diet

Fat Loss 4 idiots was one of the first to introduce cycling "How" you eat to lose weight and is now one of the most popular.

There are a few differences between Fat Loss 4 Idiots and The 17 Day Diet. They both use the same concept "metabolism confusion"

  • The Fat Loss 4 idiots uses a one cycle that has eleven days and the 17 Day Diet uses 4 cycles that are 17 days.
  • The 17 Day Diet changes every 17 days. The Fat Loss 4 idiots changes the way you eat every day and believes this results in faster weight loss.
  • The Fat Loss 4 Idiots, uses a diet generator that allows the user to pick what they eat from a list of foods then gives them a meal plan.
  • The 17 Day Diet gives specific meal plans to follow.
  • Fat Loss 4 Idiots can be downloaded on line and started right away.
  • The 17 Day diet you have to read the book first.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Vs. 17 Day Diet

I think because of the fact Fat Loss 4 Idiots is done online (which we all spend a lot of time anyway) and the flexibility of choosing your own meals makes this easier to follow. Also I think the 0ne cycle eleven day diet seems easier to follow then a four cycle 17 day diet.

From the reviews and testimony I have read Fat Loss 4 Idiots and 17 Day Diet really do help you to lose weight.

A little exercise would not hurt either.

I had the link so you could download Fat Loss 4 Idiots but of course it was not allowed. You can Google Fat Loss For idiots and get it there.

Very interesting. I am having great results with fat burning coffee though so I am sticking with that. I appreciate all the work you put into this Hub. It is very professional and well researched.

Good information. I've been gaining weight like an idiot lately. Maybe I should give metabolic confusion a try. Thanks!

This sounds very interesting--confusing the body with a different pattern of eating. We've tried the old veggie-vegetable soup diet for three days to lose 6 ponds. But that third day of eating nothing but vegetable soup gets tiring, but worth it.

I worked for a Cardiologist for ten years, who also had a weight loss program, very similar to what you are describing. He also had a liquid that suppressed one's appetite...No I never took the liquid. If we learn to eat smaller portions that is half the battle. Good Hub Granny.

Great info. Well done. There are so many diets out there, smaller portions seem like the best idea. My Son is going to a weight reduction clinic, costing a lot, but he's losing.

I would prefer the 11 day diet plan as you pick your own meals. I hate being told to eat things I don't like.

Hi Granny, I have tried every diet ever written and have now come to the conclusion that a smaller plate does the trick along with some general exercising. Like walking in the park, take the dog and enjoy your day together. I was very interested in the suggestion that these diets do work and maybe when I am sat over indulging on chocolate I may take a look. lol

sherry 13 months ago

these diets do work. It is all common sense. You eat right you eat less you will lose

I have a friend who has tried every diet going without success.

She was very interested in the Fat Loss 4 Idiots plan, but I am certain that it will not work for her.

Why?

Because she is not honest with herself about what she eats. When she has snacks between meals she instantly forgets that she has had that food. I suspect that some day the calories she consumes between meals exceed her 'official' calories.

I suspect that this is a problem for many people.

I know this comment is a bit off the point!

this is an interesting hub, because many people will have seen ads for these diets and wonder if they work.

THis is a good idea for a hub.

Pats, your friend needs to only BUY foods she should be eating, then when she snacks that is all that will be in the house. That works for me
