Some people worry about the safety of the Idiot Proof Diet / aka: Fat Loss 4 Idiots. The makers of the diet deem it as very safe. It might seem like you’re eating a lot of protein or a lot of fat but considering the fact that you’re also taking in a lot of fruits and vegetables on the fruit and veggie days, does it all balance out?

Most who’ve done the diet state it’s very safe to use this diet continuously until you’ve reached your goal weight. Then, if you need to, you can do a session or two if you need to drop just a few pounds (before a big event or after a bit of excessive indulgence.)

Here are a few tips that can aid in your overall health and nutrition while doing the diet:

  1. Take a multivitamin
  2. Ensure you’re well hydrated
  3. Eat complex carbs on cheat days. (Small portions and COMPLEX instead of bad carbs)
  4. Watch your pH level. Ensure your body is at an alkaline state. Strive for a pH of 7.4.

Watch how you feel while on the diet. Many feel wonderful after they overcome their first cycle, especially seeing the great results. Because you can do the diet again and again with your lifetime membership and access to the diet access generator, it’s a good idea to make the most of it.

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.
