There are a lot of diets and weight loss plans around. Each month, practically every women's magazine has yet another diet, while at the same time featuring articles about strawberry shortcake and other weight-gaining desserts.
There is one plan, though, that does actually work and more importantly, is not only easy to follow, but makes you feel better fairly quickly, within two weeks.
It's called "Fat Loss 4 Idiots". They promise a loss of 4 kilos (about 9 pounds) in 11 days by following their multi-meal per day plan of different foods at different times of the day. Much of this is probably water weight, since it's hard for the human body to lose so much fat at one time unless you are very obese. However, you will definitely lose fat in the process.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots food is made up of lean proteins, fruit and vegetables, and the sources of fat come from whole foods (such as cottage cheese or eggs). There are some starchy carbohydrates (such as oats and pasta). The day is divided into 4 meals that should be eaten at a minimum of 2 1/2 hours apart. There is no calorie or carb counting, no limit on portion size - Fat Loss 4 Idiots says you "just eat short of being full".
Many people have trouble recognizing that point, but it's easier if you eat slowly. It also helps to use smaller plates, which will look full, rather than big plates, that could look empty.

The Food
Fat Loss 4 Idiots can't really be classified as a low carb diet, or a low fat diet. In fact, it's kind of a little bit of everything, which is an interesting change of pace from the usual "fad" diets that focus on doing or eliminating ONE thing to excess (like Atkins).
The plan does not include many starchy carbs like pasta, potatoes, and breads. They do include a moderate amount of carbs however, so you won't be endlessly craving bread.
What's also interesting is that there are no calorie or portion limits. Basically they advise you to "eat until satisfied, not full." This might be a blurry line for some, so you must keep in mind that a bit of self control will be in order.
One glass of wine is permitted per day for you wine drinkers.
Vegetarians will be pleased to find that there is a vegetarian option for the plan, which includes several soy substitutes and a healthy portion of nuts.
The Good Bits
Fat Loss 4 Idiots stays true to its name. It's basically a no-nonsense plan that gives you a set of steps and simply asks you to follow them. You won't find any complex, hard to understand science about weight loss. Just follow the diet. This is great for people who would like to lose weight but don't want to slog through an entire book before getting to the point.
The diet is very well balanced, although there is a high amount of protein.
The Bad Bits
Fat Loss 4 Idiots will indeed help you lose weight. However, the diet is a bit bland and boring, so you might not be able to continue the plan forever. For short term weight loss goals, the diet works quite well. One solution might be to use Fat Loss 4 Idiots at first, and then slowly educate yourself into better overall eating habits.
In Summary
The feedback about this program is great, and many people are reporting excellent results across the board. If you're not into the "science of weight loss" and simply want to drop the pounds, I highly encourage you to check out Fat Loss 4 Idiots.
