I want to make sure that people who shop and purchase stuff online get the best help available so they won’t be easily swayed or ripped off by unscrupulous online merchant.
In this consumer report I will investigate the website fatloss4idiots.com, a
slimming site that dishes out a form of diet known as the calorie shifting diet.
Website: http://fatloss4idiots.com
Company: Internet Made Simple (The above domain was registered under this company).
Date of Registration: July 2004.
This report will contain:
- Actual User Feedback
- Opinions from Bloggers
- Complaints
Is fatloss4idiots.com a scam, or does it really work? Before I start, let’s look
at what the site claims it could do – “lose 9 lbs in 11 days”.
Now, this is a big claim, and one that could land the company in big trouble if they do not back up this claim with real results. Which leads us to the next question: Is this diet plan really that effective and powerful as they claim?
Well, after some investigations, there appears to be some truths in the claim, although I must say they have exaggerated it a bit. From consumer feedback, most people who use the system do not lose 9 lbs in a month, not to mention 11 days! However, a large number did report shedding 6-7 lbs in about 3 weeks, which is a decent result by any dieting standards.
Let’s look at some consumer feedback.
“I’m four days into the program and I’m seeing results already. I’ve lost 7 lbs and I still have much energy. I can’t wait to shed more pounds and reach my goal weight.” – Jamie Garriot at weightlosswand.com
“After my third day on FL4I, I’ve lost 4 pound.. its wonderful n i feel healthy.. I’m excited to complete the 11 day cycle.. Hope to fit into my old clothes again..” – Portion of an article at ezinearticles.com
“GREAT!!!!!! I just love this diet…. I like “instant results” it’s what keeps you going. The food was great and the fact that you got a choice was a bonus, all for the princely sum of one trip to Weight watchers… I have dropped a dress size in the first eleven days and will continue for another 11. PLEEEEZE remember all you knockers that it is only for 11 days and if you don’t learn anything after that you deserve the title!!!” – Lynda Jones at fatloss4idiots.com forum
Below are some comments from the blogosphere:
“…In the end what matters is that whether you are really losing weight or not, and doing so in a healthy manner and at a fast enough pace. Since many people have reported fast and easy weight loss after using this program, it can definitely be given a try. My final conclusion after having “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” reviewed is that this weight loss program can definitely be given a try, and its quite cheap to try out too. Since it comes with a money back guarantee, you don’t have much risk as well.” – simple-fix.blogspot.com
“…For those who do follow this system and have struggled with weight loss over the years, I can say that it will most likely work for you. Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a simple, inexpensive, easy to follow diet plan that produces results. There is no starving yourself every day to see results and the food choices are good since they are based on what you like.” – myfatloss4idiotsreview.blogspot.com
“This is my 11th day on the program and I’ve lost 10lbs. I am a little nervous about going off for three days but I will be conscience of my food choices. I feel great and love the simplicity of it all. I don’t have the sweet cravings or a desire to cheat. I am thankful for that since I have to cook for a family of 7. I hope you all continue to share your results so that I can stay encouraged.” – Pam at diet-blog.com
From consumer feedback and comments, I have found that majority love this diet plan and generally have good things to say about the program. But not all are so sanguine about this diet plan, though. There are some who complained that the results took longer that expected to show. However, from a neutral perspective, I feel these are just petty nitpicking as embarking on a weight loss quest is one of achieving the ultimate result that counts, not how fast you get there.
So to conclude, it is safe to say that fatloss4diots.com is not a bogus company, and it does deliver results. You can check out the website here.
