While on the Idiot Proof Diet one of these 5 tips WILL apply to you while on the plan. This list was compiled from people already on the diet that have run into these specific questions. Follow the diet exactly you WILL lose at least 7-9 pounds your first 11 days.
Tip 1. Follow The Program To The Letter
Do not eat anything not on the menu or mix foods from meals after the diet has been generated Make sure to avoid the 10 foods mentioned in the Diet Handbook
Do NOT skip meals. This is very important. This diet is set up using the science behind calorie shifting and if you skip a meal it defeats the whole purpose Make Sure to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water while on this diet. This will help.
Tip 2. Cheat During The 3 DAY Cheat Cycle
This is in the top 3 questions. Everyone says I just lost 8 pounds in 11 days and now I'm supposed to cheat for 3 days straight!" Most peoples logic and emotions are telling them that since they had so much success they will keep dieting for those 3 cheat days and lose even more weight. Or they don't want to gain back the weight they lost. TRUST ME! You aren't going to gain it back.
If you just can't stomach it at least cheat for 2 days.
Tip 3. Moderately Exercise to Accelerate Your Weight Loss (optional)
This can be a big one in increasing the amount of weight you lose. By exercising you build muscle which burns fat. Your body obviously will also look much more toned and fit. You don't have to use weights. When I was calculating how people who exercised lost more weight this included people who just walked or jogged regularly at least 4 times per week.
Tip 4. Change Around the Menu
Some people are not choosing the maximum amount of food choices from each side of the Diet Generator. Some people may get bored with their menu that was generated and not realize that they are able to go back and generate a new menu with different foods! As long as when you generate a new menu you pick back up on the same day you left off on the old menu you are fine.
Example: you are on day 6 of your 11 day diet cycle. You are getting tired or don't want the food you originally picked. You can go pick new foods and generate a new menu. When the new menu is generated you would pick up on day 6 where you left off! Its that simple. So remember choose the required amount of food and make sure you stick to it!
Tip 5. Only Weigh Yourself at the End of the 11 day Cycle
This one is a tough one. The first thing we want to do when we start feeling better is start weighing ourselves every chance we get. Try not to fall into this trap. There are MANY variables that can affect weight loss in a short timeframe. You may weigh 3 days into the diet and you're down 3 pounds and weigh yourself on day five and only be down 1. This is NOT an accurate reflection of your weight loss journey. So if you want to save yourself from unnecessary disappointment wait until the 11th day like you're supposed to and weigh yourself then.
