If you google this diet on the internet you will see how popular this diet really is.



The diet of course only works if you apply yourself and are commited to losing those pounds.

Calorie Shifting:

The Idiot Proof Diet is based on the shifting calories theory.

Your metabolism burns calories based on what you eat. It burns calories on what you have eaten over the period of a few days. Your metabolism cannot predict what you are going to eat in the future so presumes you will eat the same amount generally day by day.

If you begin eating 2,500 calories per day then your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins burning 2,500 calories per day.

If you try to starve yourself by suddenly eating 1,000 calories per day then your metabolism will again ADJUST ITSELF so that your body begins to burn only 1,000 calories per day.

The idiot proof diet takes this behaviour and has used it to its advantage.

You don't eat the same types of meals for more than a couple of days and so lose weight in the process.

The diet plan is easy to follow and understand as long as the rules of the diet are followed.

Diet plans are generated for you every 11 days (this is included in the software you are provided with) thus shifting the calorie count and increasing the amount of fat you can lose.

The diet plan does give you a period of relaxation in between your 11 day period allowing you a 3 day 'cheat' sheet. The cheat sheet allows you to eat whatever you want until you restart on another 11 day plan which the software generates for you.
