The Sonoma diet has 3 phases (which it calls “waves”) — and these are sort of similar to the various phases of the Atkins and South Beach phases.

In fact, phase 1 of the Sonoma Diet is called the “Induction” phase, and it seems to serve the same general purpose as phase 1 of the Atkins and South Beach programs too (which is to eliminate certain types of processed foods, sugars, and some other foods too).

For example, phase 1 of the Sonoma diet (the INDUCTION phase) lasts 10 days, and the purpose of this phase is to eliminate sugar based carbs, processed foods, certain types of fats, and other types of foods such as fruit.

This is sort of similar to how the South Beach program uses it’s first phase to eliminate sugar, fruit and processed foods too.

Also, the Atkins program has a similar type of “induction phase” which serves the same “general” purpose more or less.

Then, the Sonoma diet has a second phase (wave 2) which is used to re-introduce some types of foods back into the diet, and this is similar to how the South Beach plan has a second phase which re-introduces certain types of carbs (such as fruits) back into the diet also.

Actually, it’s kind of a coincidence because the Atkins diet also has a phase where it allows certain types of carbs (such as fruit) back into the diet.

Finally, the Sonoma diet has a third phase (wave 3) which is used when a dieter finally reaches their goal weight and wishes to “maintain” that weight for the rest of their lives. This is the phase where the dieter is expected to make the Sonoma diet a “lifestyle”, and this phase allows more liberal food choices too.

It’s interesting since the Atkins diet also has a final phase which dieters use when they reach their “goal weight”.

….And this is also similar to how the South Beach diet has a final phase which serves to turn the diet into a permanent lifestyle when dieters reach their goal weight.

So even though the foods are very different on the Sonoma diet — it still seems to have many of the same “general principles” as the Atkins and South Beach diets to some degree (at least in our opinion anyway).

Of course, we’re not saying that its the same as the Atkins and South Beach plans of course (since there are some major differences between the Sonoma Diet and the other 2 diets)……..but we’re saying that many of the same “general principles” appear to be similar, such as the various phases (and what those phases are used for).

Our opinion: We do not recommend using the Sonoma Diet for the same reasons that we do not recommend using the Atkins or South Beach programs.

We think that such a diet is too difficult to follow for average dieters since the menu is a permanent lifestyle change which does limit certain types of foods, and the first phase is likely to sap your energy if you’re not careful.

End of Review.

There is a new 11 Day Diet which is called the Idiot Proof Diet, and it has no limits on food portions (it also allows 3 cheat days every 11 days where anything can be eaten).

This new Fat Burning Diet is helping thousands of people to lose weight each week.

Most people believe that calories are the “enemy”, since eating excess calories leads to excess fat, right? That’s why most people believe that the fastest way to lose weight is to cut way back on calories each day.

After all, if a dieter is eating 2,500 calories per day and they decide to cut back to 1,500 calories per day - then obviously those extra 1,000 calories have to result in weight loss, right?

Well, actually this is not exactly true.

In fact, if you try to cut your calories too much (via starving yourself and skipping meals) then you’ll quickly reach a dieting “plateau” (a point where the scale refuses to drop any lower no matter how little your are eating).

Firstly, let’s talk about how the average person begins a new diet…

The scenario usually sounds something like this…

One day you look in the mirror and see that your clothes are fitting tighter than normal, and you look more overweight than normal. …And on this day you get “angry” with yourself, you’re angry with what you see in the mirror - and you decide that you’re going to lose weight no matter what it takes.

You are filled with lots of motivation and anger on this day, and you feel determined to do whatever it takes to get slimmer.
So what’s the first thing you do?

…You begin skipping meals and cutting way back on calories in an attempt to starve yourself thinner, since you’re convinced that calories are the enemy.

Anyway, the above scenario is how you begin your “starvation diet.”

On the first day of dieting you feel so “motivated” to lose weight that you decide to skip breakfast.

Unfortunately, this motivation doesn’t last for long, because after a few hours your hunger begins making you feel weak — because your body is not accustomed to “skipping meals” like this, and your body is not accustomed to being without calories for so long.

Anyway, by the time lunchtime arrives you’re so hungry (and weak) that you feel absolutely miserable — but yet you bravely tell yourself that you can handle this diet (because after all, you certainly don’t want to feel like a quitter).

So you perhaps have a piece of fruit for lunch (or perhaps another small food item instead), since you’re still convinced that you can starve yourself thinner.

Finally, hours later when dinnertime arrives you’re so miserable and hungry that you have a major headache - and this is the moment when you finally begin to realize that starving yourself might not be such a good idea after all.

After this first day of starving yourself you feel horrible, but you’re determined to stick to your diet since you don’t want to be a quitter so soon — so you’ll likely hold out for another few days on this diet.

Or, if you are particularly brave then you may even hold out for a week or two.

However, regardless of how long you actually hold out — you won’t get any slimmer and the final result will still be the same.

You see, even after two weeks of starving yourself you won’t have achieved any serious weight loss at all. In fact, your body will still look the same when you look in the mirror.

Why is this true?

This is true because most of the weight lost during a “starvation diet” is just water weight, and not real fat loss.

You must remember that any “water weight” lost during a starvation diet will be gained back immediately when you stop dieting and start eating normally again.

Also, whenever you starve yourself you cause a “hidden” factor to come into play…

You see, whenever you starve yourself your body will begin burning fewer calories each day.

For instance, let’s say that you normally eat about 3,,000 calories per day.

….But then you suddenly cut way back on calories — so that you’re now eating only 1,000 calories per day.

Guess what happens?

Even though you’re eating 2,000 fewer calories per day your body will begin burning 2,000 fewer calories per day - so in reality your weight will remain the same even though you’re eating 2,000 fewer calories per day.

When this happens the scale will stop going down regardless of how little you are eating each day, and this is known as a weight loss “plateau.”

This is why most starvation dieters cannot make the scale go down anymore after just two weeks of dieting. They all hit a “plateau” where the scale just refuses to go down any further, no matter how little they are eating each day.

Now you know why you’ve always failed when trying to starve yourself in the past, since it’s just not possible to lose weight by starving yourself.

The truth is that “serious” weight loss can never be achieved by starvation dieting.

Serious weight loss can only be achieved by giving your body the right types of calories at the correct times each day, which is something that we talk about below…

Your body is actually like a big “engine” — and the truth is that your body needs all 3 types of calories (protein, carbs, and fat) to some degree.

To begin losing weight fast we recommend using the new Idiot Proof Diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots — because it does not require any calorie counting (it’s one of the only diets in the world which forces fast weight loss without the need to count calories).

I am trying to lose some weight at the moment. I have recently lost three stone, which is fantastic but I just have a few more pounds to lose and I am finding it really tricky to shift that last bit of weight. I have been having a look into the different lose weight pills to find out which might be the most suitable to help me. I would rather do it myself but I have been eating sensibly and exercising a lot but I just cannot seem to lose any more weight and am also running out of motivation a little bit too.

It is a bit annoying as I really want to feel like I have done it all by myself but better to do it with help than not do it at all and I have a wedding to go to soon and it would be fantastic if I could be at my target weight for that. I have been reading lots of articles about all sorts of diet pills. There are Hoodia diet pills which seem to be really popular at the moment. However, I am not sure whether a fat burner, appetite suppressant, metabolism booster or a herbal remedy would be better for me. I think that I might go to my doctor and ask whether the pills are suitable for me to take and also find out whether he thinks certain ones are better than others. Some are only available on prescription and those might be better, so it is worth going to see him in case he thinks that one of those is better and will write me a prescription for them. I have also been interested in burning fat and would like to find out what my percentage of body fat is and whether one of the top fat burners would be better for me.

I think that I seem like I have quite a bit of fat, despite exercising a lot and it would be good to have this confirmed and to see whether I could get rid of some of this fat and make my flabby bits all a bit firmer! I have tried exercising but it is a lot of hard work and is not making a significant difference - I suppose that is because you cannot turn fat into muscle but you can burn off fat by exercising hard and toning the muscles just might hold the fat in a bit but will not get rid of it altogether.
