From the start, Fat Loss 4 Idiots completely discredits any low calorie or low fat diets. They believe that low calorie diets simply result in the adjustment of your metabolism and no weight will be lost, possibly even resulting in weight being gained. They also try to separate themselves from the more popular low carb diets which they say leave people feeling miserable as they drain the majority of user’s energy.

The program instead concentrates on the two sets of hormones that are released in your body when you eat something. Together both hormones control fat burning and fat storage within the body and Fat Loss 4 Idiots tries to maximize the amount of fat burning hormones while minimizing the amount of fat storage with each meal. That is why the diet concentrates on eating the right food, at the right times in a regular pattern so that your metabolism can become adjusted and the weight will start to shift.
