On the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet, the recommended 3 days of cheating on the diet every 11 days  is one of the things that makes it unique.  Not only do you get to cheat but cheating is actually part of what makes this diet so effective.  Here are some cheating tips for you so that you will enjoy the cheats and maximise your weight loss but NOT undo all your hard work:

Cheat Day Do’s

  • Eat things you’ve wanted haven’t been able to eat (bread, pasta, rice, sweets)
  • Continue to eat four meals a day
  • Continue to drink your 8-10 glasses of water every day

Cheat Day Don’ts

  • Don’t eat until you are stuffed. Continue to eat until ‘just’ satisfied
  • Don’t nibble constantly (stay to your 2.5-3 hour intervals)
  • Continue to follow as many of the 10 rules of dieting as possible!

While the cheat day can feed your cravings and help you fool your metabolism, those who aren’t careful can gain 5 pounds in a weekend.  If you do happen to gain, don’t fret! Just go ahead and start your new cycle with confidence and most people lose their cheat gains within a few days.

On the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet generator plan there’s a fruit day and a vegetable day. Now, on the fruit day it’s pretty easy to satisfy yourself for breakfast, but what do you do on the Veggie day?

Here are some suggestions:

-Grilled or fried tomatoes with an ounce of cheese

-Drink vegetable juice (like a V-8 cocktail) and have some cucumber slices with salt and pepper

-Eat soup or chili made with approved ingredients from the list of vegetables

Not eating a breakfast-like food might seem strange for the morning but it’s just one day per 11 day cycle. Some people opt to have just enough raw vegetables to satisfy themselves until lunchtime.
