yayFOOD versus Fat Loss 4 Idiots

yayFOOD and Fat Loss 4 Idiots both have pros and cons. I'd like to explore both of them here.

To begin with, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is undeniably the more popular of the two. It's been around a lot longer, and quite frankly is marketed a lot better.

However, does that make it better? Let's explore:

First of all - when you get inside the member's area for FL4I, you're greeted with what looks like 20 or so different pages. These are mini-articles. There's also a diet generator.

The basic concept of Fat Loss 4 Idiots is that you need to eat the same foods over and over - but they mix and match them so that you're eating different combinations. You can only eat the same 30 foods over and over. Some examples of these foods are garden salad with dressing, green and red vegetables, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, green beans, fresh grapefruit, and broiled flounder.

When you get inside yayFOOD, the member's area is quite different.

There are calorie calculators, where you type in your height, weight, and exercise level. Depending on your specifics is how they tell you what to eat - which seems to make a lot more sense.

The first benefit of yayFOOD is that you can eat whatever you want - not the boring diet food - although they do give sample meal plans and meal ideas so that you can have some reference. There are even 7 day meal plans that Rachel herself eats. Members add recipes to the Recipe Database all the time, too - so there's no shortage of variety.

There are hundreds of articles, reports, and resources for you to use in there.

There's ongoing support, too - so that you can ask a question whenever you want and get a quick answer.

There's also a diet goal section where you can put in your weight, and it'll automatically email your friends and family when you reach goal (if you want). You can also keep a journal, a goal setter, and more.

There's also much more of a community with yayFOOD.

Overall, yayFOOD has much better value than FL41. The good thing about Fl4I is that it's a one-time fee, whereas yayFOOD is $19.95 a month. However, since you get so many extra benefits with yayFOOD, it might be well worth it for you. Also, there's an 8 week no-questions-asked guarantee, so it's risk free.

The Best Way To Eat - Shifting Calories

With all of the different diet and health information out there, it's easy to become lost in a sea of "This is better, that's better."

But the question still remains - What's the best way to eat when trying to lose weight?

In this author's opinion, the answer is calorie cycling (also known as shifting calories and zigzag diet).

The reason for this is because it's a completely natural and healthy way of losing weight. There are no pills, no patches, no restriction of food groups, and no gaining the weight back as soon as you stop this way of eating. All that one does with shifting calories is vary the amount of calories that they eat on a daily basis. It's simple enough, right?

Because the body can't get used to what it's being fed, it can't adjust accordingly, and it can't plateau. With other diets that have the same amount of food per day (for example, diets that say to stay under 35 grams of carbohydrates or to stay on a 1200 calorie diet), the body anticipates this ahead of time. Weight loss comes to a complete halt.

With calorie shifting, there's no anticipation on the body's end, and pounds continue to be melted off. This diet is also the best way to eat because it's so psychologically inviting. There are "cheat days", so people don't feel miserable and restricted. This is generally one of the biggest reasons why people quit diets in the first place. They have eating patterns that are not conducive to their normal way of life, and the "shock" of the change frustrates them.
