Debbie,
I just came across the weightloss4idiots website. Would you be able to share some more information about this diet?
I would choose the vegetarian option.
What would be some examples of the meals?
Do you feel hungry?
Are you satisfied?
Do you feel that the meals are nutritionally sound?
I'm just debating on buying this, and the website did not give me enough information to convince me to buy it. The free trial was useless.
I've recently loss 9.5 pounds by doing Slim in 6 and cutting out junk food and portion control. I normally eat good food, just too much of it. I feel though that I am at a plateau, so I'm looking for somthing to continue my weight loss.
Any information you could give regarding this diet would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ali

Hi Ali,
I just bought weight loss 4 idiots yesterday, and though I can't tell you whether it works for me, I can tell you about the menus. The meals are ususally just one food, like chicken, or tofu burger for the vegetarian option. Sometimes the meals are a mixture, like mixed vegetables or fruit plate. There are also times when a meal includes two things, like cottage cheese and chicken, but that's not very common. So, the meals are very simple. The menu generator finds out your preferences in a pretty specific way, so that you can come up with many different menus if you want. I printed two yesterday, and chose which one to start with based on what I had at home in the freezer. I know it's only been a few hours, but I like the simplicity of it and the fact that I can have 4 meals each day, and eat whatever amount I need for each so that I'm not hungry. I'm sure that I'm eating much less than I usually do, but I don't feel like I'm deprived, yet.
The meals are healthy themselves, and most days on this diet seem fairly nutritionally sound. All types of foods are included: protein, carbohydrates, fruit, vegetables, dairy, and eggs, although usually not all on the same day. The menu is pretty high in protein, but the sources are varied so that it seems healthy. I'm going to be eating lots of eggs and cottage cheese.
I hope this helps. I was looking for information about this diet yesterday, and there doesn't seem to be much out there other than links to their website.
