JBJB - just the burger(s)  but you could probably have the bun when you have a sandwich day. :chew:

Hi Everyone,
I finished my second 11 days on the diet. I lost 4 lbs. this time and it was alot of hard work. Also it was a little discouraging as the first time I lost 8 lbs. but regained 4 of them on my days off. So this time I lost the lbs. that I had regained but nothing more. I find it discouraging because I was trying so hard. But, I'm still down 8 lbs. from when I started a month ago!
This time I found the diet really hard, I seem to be having more and more cravings (even though I did not give in to them). I wasn't hungry I just wanted to eat different things. And not just junk and cookies and cake. I just wished I could eat meat and vegetables together at dinner time. Or have cereal for breakfast (not oatmeal) or have a sandwich for lunch. And of course these cravings would always happen on the days when my diet didn't allow protein and veggies, or no sandwich, etc.
I think this diet is too restrictive for me so I am going to give it a rest for awhile and try something different which gives me more choice and control over what I eat. I am still going to check in and read about all your successes because that really makes my day when I read about someone who is doing great. Good luck to all of you. And thank you all for all the advice and support you gave me. You folks were great!!!!:)

Hi. New member also. Hit 202' ', I started FL4I Monday, today is my 6th day. First 5 days not bad, weekends are a little harder. I did get a bad headache at the end of the second day. Been alright since. I haven't been able to keep from peeking at the scale and have lost between 5 and 6 lbs. so far. I'm getting a little tired of eggs. Walked for the first time today. I haven't had the one glass of wine allowed as I tend to like it with cheese or something salty. Been pretty good on the water. Have been able to get in the 10 glasses most days. I was making spaghetti for my family and used the grd turkey. I put a third of the turkey aside and browned it for myself adding garlic salt, pepper,oregano, bell peppers, onion, and just enough marinara sauce to coat the meat. It ended up being pretty tasty. I'm looking forward to the 3 days off. My plan is to eat what I want within reason and stick to the "don't stuff yourself" guidelines' ', keep up the water to help fill me up. We'll see. Good luck to all.Last edited on 17 October 2005 10:22 am by goforit

look like there are a few of us who started this last week. Ive lost 6lbs in 7 days so not complaining and i can see where its coming off. Was bad at weekend as had a few alcoholic drinks (0 carbs tho) but didnt stray food-wise. Yesterday was the first sunday ever that i havent eaten junk, just fresh fruit and veg and it was good! i did have potato mashed with carrots, i know people are avoiding potatoes but there isnt anywhere on the diet that says that so i figured it was ok, and it was sooo filling! i cooked a roast chickin for my husband and it was so hard for me not to eat that crispy golden chicken skin! ah well i'll be having chicken today...no skin tho!

| Well, it was a tough weekend since we traveled for the past 3 days. However, I did a good job staying on track and dropped down another 2.2 pounds. So, I am almost to where I was on my first time around. It really sucks gaining so much back on the "free" days and then spending the next round trying to get rid of it again. I will hopefully beable to maintain over my "free" period this time around before my 3 session. I'm really hoping I can have some success with this diet...

| Hi! I finished my first eleven days. I didn't cheat once, drank my water, the only thing is I fell way short on the walking. I haven't found the plan to be too bad. I haven't experienced hunger like some of you, maybe you need to eat a little more. Of course I have missed my 'comfort foods' but knowing I can take a legal break and not be looking at months of dieting until goal is reached, helps. I made myself stop looking at the scale since day 5. I was afraid if I fluctuated, I'd get discouraged. I'm really hoping for success beyond the first cycle. It is the first eating plan I have stayed with for more than a day in years. I'm looking forward to getting on the scale tomorrow (another thing I haven't done in years--looking forward to it I mean.) My sister is waiting to see how I do before she tries the diet. She only has 15lbs she wants to take off so it might go slower with her. Have a good weekend.:yumm:

I've been watching this topic for three months now and I've seen a lot of "dieters" come and go. I hope you are all successful, but I'm still waiting to read a post from a single person that has lost weight and kept it off.
Let's hear from someone with long-term success with Fat Loss 4 Idiots!

Well,
I'm on my 3rd straight cycle of "WL4I" and I'm sooooo sick of ham and pineapples and tuna salad and roast beef sandwiches...yuck! I have lost 8.5 pounds - I had previously lost 10 pounds (not on this diet) because I increased my exercise...so I have lost 18.5 total. You can really see a difference and I went down a pants size. I really feel like this diet is good like if you are getting ready for your class reunion or a wedding or something. But to eat the same foods day after day after day...I'm just not feeling it anymore.
I'm currently looking for another program I can maybe alternate monthly with this one, anyone had success elsewhere?

Sure! That's what my website is all about!
Learn to eat healthy foods and you will lose the weight. No "diets" or gimmicks necessary.
If you're on Fat Loss 4 Idiots and doing well, that's great. But I'm still waiting to hear from someone that's made a long-term success out of it.
If it's not enjoyable, how can you expect to keep it up?

| I too am getting bored with WL4I.How healthy can a diet be that doesn't allow fruits and vegetables every day? It was a good jumping off point but I am ready to move on to some kind of maintenance diet.I've had luck before with Weight Watchers.No food is restricted (I miss my sweets)While I'm deciding what to do I've been hitting the Halloween candy! Help Someone give me a pep talk :(

| :)hi there, i agree W8LFI can be boring, i think all diets can but we're doing it to lose weight fast and while we're changing our eating you get to know or get interested in exercise and other good healthy foods, since i started W8LFI i started eating different, drinking lots of water and walking and now because of it, i want to keep going but i've stopped W8LFI and i am doing another diet because it's from someone abit more closer to home(NZ)which means i know what food shes talking about etc...and it's awesome, yes it's hard sometimes but im getting to know what good nutrtion is and how important exercise is, i mean im doing these diets to lose weight fast, discipline myself, so i wont always crave all the junk food i use to eat and exercise regularly, so it's been about a month of since i've changed my ways and yes some days are hard and others pass by quickly but i know i aint going back to the old ways!:D and i like your website peter, very interesting!chow and keep going ladies!!

| I do agree that this diet can be "boring" and repetetive, but I also feel as though it could be an easy way of life, at least for a while. I am on my third session. My first session I was successful with about a 7 pound lost, I proceeded to gain that back in my "free" days. I learned from that and lost that same amount of weight my second time. This last time, on my "free" days, I just ate sensibly. I didn't go hog wild because I could. I had french toast and 94% fat free popcorn, raisins and some other healthy foods that you don't get on a normal basis on this diet. The only treat I had was a blizzard! I did much better that time and didn't gain an ounce! I'm now on my third day of my third session and things are going fine. If anything this diet is a learning process about self-discipline, healthy eating and healthy choice. I do not have a problem with most of the food choice. I actually prefer having the generated menus. My husband and I are so busy, that it has actually been quite convient to have the menu! I write the day and date by each day and hang it on the fridge. Who ever is home knows what the options are! I found I've learned to focus less on food...their isn't time to worry about what you'll have for dinner, it's more of...how will I make the chicken? I have generated several different menus so as not to get bored. Some allow spaghetti 7 different times! Talk about a comfort food for me! I didn't think weight loss would be successful with that, but it was and I didn't feel deprived that session one bit! Now I'm sick of spaghetti and we have a menu where we get a roast beef sandwich 7 different times! We tend to eat around the same foods for a week or two anyways, so this hasn't been as much of a struggle for us with the lack of food choices...however...a diet is just that. A diet. This is not a way of living...I don't know how long a person could go on like this, but I plan on continuing until Christmas. I haven't felt too deprived because even if I wasn't on this particular diet it isn't like eating candy would be part of any other diet! Even though I have my up and down feelings about food and dieting, I know it's best to stick something out for an extended period of time. In my opinion a month is not enough time to determine if it works for you. It takes a month just to figure it all out! Good luck to everyone! I will continue to look to this site for support and advice, however it appears as though the post and decreasing and the diet is fading out for some.

| yes i feel the same way too, but only because my husband has just lost 17lbs on Atkins and ive lost 8 in the same period. I hate the fact that we eat at different times and different foods so im going to join him on his diet to see how well i do, if it doesnt work i'll nip back to this diet. One thing I have learned on this diet is portion control, we've stopped eating out and i drink more water so some good came out of it! i'll let you know how i get on, sorry i couldnt stick to this one!

Bluefish, if you're going to try Atkins here's a little reading:
What is a low carb diet?
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/faqs_lowcarb.html
Are you gaining weight with low carb foods?
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/forums/forum3/58.html
And my philosophy: http://www.eatwellandexercise.com/
Perhaps you can post an Atkins topic and let us know how you do. Ultimately you will have to learn to eat healthy foods that you enjoy or it will just be one diet after another for ever.
Don't mean to lecture (well, not much anyway) but that's the purpose of my website. To teach people that the answer is in learning to eat well, not just dieting to achieve (what is usually only temporary) weight loss.
Best wishes,
Peter

| thanks peter, i totally understand where you're coming from as far as teaching myself about healthy food, my problem is portion control, i eat til im stuffed and ive stopped doing that now and feel so much healthier, plus not eating out i have no temptations as i dont buy junk food when i shop either. Im going to try atkins to lose teh weight then once i've done that im going to eat fruit as a snack as opposed to chips, crackers etc plus im on the treadmill every day so that should help on my healthy path:)

| I believe you can have any under 10 calorie drink. So if you like it black your're probably alright or with artificial sweetener. Unfortunately I like it lite with coffeemate and sugar so it is out for me. Also whatever you drink does not count toward your 10 glasses of water. Good luck.

| Hello all, I am new here and I am also doing the FL4I diet. I am on day 2 of my 3 day cheat period. Keeping up on my water and exercise and trying not to over do my cheats. But I am cheating with some of my favorite things so I won't feel tempted down the road. I have also found the diet to be very easy. I hate diets that have food that take a mile long recipe to make with 60 ingrediants and tons on money at the grocery store. This is so simple. So far I have lost 6.5 lbs the first 11 days which I am very happy with. I have also been doing atleast an hr a day of Pilates on dvd(I have 6 different ones) and I bought an elliptical since it is too cold here to walk outside. So far I am doing 15min on the elliptical and will work my way up. Most importantly is I am feeling better about myself more everyday. I have a total of about 30-35 lbs to lose after having 2 kids in 2 yrs. Also I am 38yrs old so weight for me does not just fall off like it used to. OK, guess that is all I need to say for now. Glad to be here with others who are also doing this diet.

| I just completed day four of wl4 idiots diet and I have to admit I actually like it. I was surprised because one I didn't think it would work and two I can't stand atkins diet and that it would be much the same since rice is not on my 11 day menu. At the begining of today I weight myself and I had already last 3.5 lbs ie after just 3 days I lost 3.5 lbs. I am posting this in hopes that other people who may have been as reluctant as myself (plus I wasn't keen on spending $27 on something that I wasn't sure if it work) will go ahead and take the plundge. Also I did not experience any famine at least not for these first 4 days. One last thing I am walking for the 2 30 minutes per day or one 45 minute walk. I don't know if this is necessary or not as the handbook claims you need to do this to maintain the weight that you lose but it doesn't specify wether or not any excercise is needed during the actually 11 days. I will post again after day six which is the fruit/veg day for me.

Hello kj204,
I am glad you are doing so well!
Now if you'd really like to help others, make a commitment to post about your progress after 30 days.
If you're doing well and I hope you are, it will be a more meaningful recommendation than after 4 days. And it you aren't still doing well (but I hope you are!), then that will be important to share, too.
I have been watching this forum and waiting for someone to post long term results.
Best wishes and welcome to the forum,
Peter

Hello there,
Thanks for the info on the coffee. Now I have another question. I am assuming yes but can you eat veggies with your meals such as chicken?
Sorry for so many questions but the website has limited information.
Thanks for all and any help.

(Note...After rereading this and it could appear as I am being contrary, but that is not my intent. I really want to discuss this with you and everyone.
Note2: I have broken my rule against long boring and rambling posts, but I REALLY feel strong about this diet as I have struggled my whole life looking for something this good and easy! My appologies for the rant.)
Peter,
I think this board is great and I look forward to studying your site, but you are cracking me up! I don't think you realize how negative you are sounding. Encourage us and help us. That is your goal, right?
If you want someone over 30 days with success in trying circumstances, I am your man.
My wife found WL4I in August and we have gone through almost four cycles where I have lost 28 pounds and my wife has lost almost 20 in the same time. We are on day 8 of our fourth cycle and have enjoyed the success.
This includes two weeks off in the middle of this (two vacations...one we did not diet AT ALL and the other we did stay to the longterm rules of 4 meals, stop eating at the right time, basically and extended version of the 3 days off.)
So is this long term success? If so, what would you like to discuss? If not, what is long term success?
I can see eating this way as a life long way of life. Just not the limited foods. The diet generator is one of two methods and is there for quick loss (as I can attest to!). My wife and I have been quite creative on our preparation of foods and so we have kept it from being boring.
I think that if you go on this diet and drop weight quickly and then go off (as we did by going on through one cycle and then going on vacation), you will gain most of the weight back (as I did.) Your body seems to have a wieght at which they are used to and quick change will almost always result and the body shifting to get back. What I believe needs to be done is as you lose (and after) that you continue to do what you need to (exercise and smart eating) to get your body used to the new weight as normal. From there, we plan to follow as we did on vacation above (4 meals, stop when you should) and if we gain a few pounds, pop in a couple of new cycles to drop them back off.
Hope this helps you guys and let me know what I can do to help. (for example, from the questions above that are not answered or are not correct to my interpretation, you can have a bun with the hamburger and anythign on it. It did not stop my weight loss. You can have potatoes, but be smart and make it fat free (read about the approved condiments. Sugar free salsa is my favorite!)
Best of luck!

Not to my interpretation. however, we have generated diets with veggies and we get to eat them with turkey and other things as a result. We love our veggie chili my wife makes and adding in turkey is awesome! Plus I have "cheated" by adding onion, lettuce, pickles, and tomato to my roast beef sandwich which I LOVE!
My suggestion is to stay with the diet as it is written (strict) to show that it works for YOU. Then get creative as you see fit. If you stop losing, you know what you have changed since it was working and you can remove those differences that impede your progress.
Just my take.

Dobie,
I was playing "devil's advocate" a bit. I think there is good reason to be suspicious of any diet that advertises "Lose 9 lbs. Every 11 Days." It's not hard to do that with a number of diets in the first 11 days (mostly water), but every 11?
I didn't mean to sound negative as much as cautious. I watched the forum for a long time before posting... patiently waiting to hear of someone's "long term" success. I was hearing from so many that would post excitedly and then disappear. I could only wonder if they didn't do well but didn't come back to share about that.
If you are finding success with this diet, I think that is great!

Thanks, Peter. I noticed you waited, but then I saw the same rection (reading the whole thread in a day) several times...so I guess that is why my question.
I agree rapid loss can't be ideal, but if one eats food and looses, what is the down side? I have heard, "well, you don't get the vitamins you need from fruits and veggies." I even used this on my wife who pointed out we don't eat that many or in healthy ways anyway. If we did, maybe we would not need to "diet".
Having rules that I can stick to and they work is what works for me...thus my satisfaction with this diet. 28 down, 30 to go.

Dobie,
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that rapid weight loss was unhealthy. It certainly can be, but it can be safe if you're eating healthy foods and getting the nutrition your body needs.
My concern was about it being realistic to keep losing so much week after week. I guess it shows where I'm coming from as I've never been more than 20 lbs overweight. Yet I've struggled with food my whole life.
Actually I joke that I've lost hundreds of pounds... it's just the same 20 over and over.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi, I'm new....just started today...and I'm REALLY hungry! :( My body usually does well with a good combo of protein and carbs, but having meals of all one or the other is tough.
Does the hunger lessen after a few days? Or is this going to be HUNGER HELL for the duration?
I'd like to lose 30 lbs, so I hope I can hang in there. I already know my body will HATE fruit n' veggie day.
Does exercise help you be less hungry?
I'm eating till I'm pretty full but not stuffed. And I'm drinking tons of water.
Does anyone know anything that could help with the hunger pangs?
Thanks!
Sharon :)

| Hi Slimmersharon, I am taking a multivitamin and walking for 2 thirty minute sets and I'm not experiencing any hunger pains. Maybe its a combination of exercise and making sure your body still has all of the proper nurishment it needs. One thing that you may want to try is moving your meals closer together. Good luck and hang in there.

For me (and the diet states) that this will last the first few days, and it did. The first cycle I did I was hungry more than I have been most of my life, but like you I was eating until I was full. Once I started to lose weight (a pound a day for me the first time through) I did not mind the hunger because I was realizing how much I must have been over eating previously! It went away through the first cycle and now I am rarely hungry unless it is building to meal time! :D
To me this is clearly I have been eating too much and my body has adapted to a better level of caloric intake.

I already know my body will HATE fruit n' veggie day.
Mine does too, but I am strangely not hungry. I did Veggie- fruit-veggie last time instead of fruit -veggie-veggie and I felt better. I always lose a pound or two this day so I don't mind the mental "I need meat" void. We eat veggie chili with beans and hominy and a potato with salsa or small amounts of homemade bbq sauce with our other veggies and skate through pretty well.

Does exercise help you be less hungry?
YES it does. For example, I only had two meals by the time I got home yesterday (4p or so) and we went for a walk immediately. Within 10 minutes I was not even hungry (fight or flight response, I guess). In fact we ate at 5p and then at 8p, but I was not hungry at that meal. I just never know what affect skipping a meal has and I would hate to go hungry all night.
My plan is to spread my meals better (yesterday was 8, 11:45, 5p, 8p and I prefer 8a, 11a, 3p, and 6:30p. My wife hates being done that early and is on a different schedule.)
I also take a multivitamin like kj

Does anyone know anything that could help with the hunger pangs?
Break it down for us...when do you get up and go to bead, when do you eat, and where do you focus your water intake? For example, I get up and drink water (16 oz) to get going as Peter suggested. Then I try to work out (most days) and shower and go to work (leave house at 7a.) I eat around 8 and don't get hungry until 10:30a but I eat at 11a. etc.
I drink 8oz at a time when I start to to feel hungry and it quelches it well for me.
Let us know and best wishes for success to you!

| Thanks Dobie for the veggie chili idea. Today is my fruit n veggie day and I couldn't figure what I was going to eat for my second veggie meal.

| I am new to this forum also and this all sounds great. I have one concern...I have food allergies and milk products are one of them. Do you have to eat cottage cheese? If so this diet will not work for me.

| Sadljg, when you answer the questions on the diet generator, don't chose the banana orange smoothie as it is half milk.

| Thanks for the info. I ordered it and have printed out my diet and I will start tomorrow. Although I concidered starting on monday so I am off the 3 days on the weekend, but I do not want to put this off any longer. My first meal is a sandwich any type. Do you have to have the bran bread? Thanks for any ideas you can give me.

| Sadljd, you can have either bran or oat bread. I find the oat bread real good actually and I am usually a white bread eater.
