In this article we are going to explore some of the SHAMEFUL facts about calorie shifting diets.
I'd like to examine how simply NOT knowing WHY many people are getting such great results on the fat loss 4 idiots diet has led many in the more "mainstream" diet community to throw stones at the plan..
..
and the PEOPLE who are on it as well.
And ignorance of course, may breed bliss, but it ALSO spreads misinformation that keeps OTHERS from reaping the rewards of health and happiness.
Read on..
:-) Shameful Fact #1: I was reading an article earlier today by a cosmetic surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio who was asked about calorie shifting on his blog.
He replied that it was a "scam", and that the ONLY people losing weight with calorie shifting programs were people who simply weren't SMART enough to lose weight using more conventional wisdom, or ideologies.
In other words, people who were GULLIBLE were having success because they weren't smart enough to do well with REAL weight loss advice.
Of course, this makes no fundamental sense - weight loss, IS weight loss, right? Who cares how smart I am, I just want a better body! Plus, of course I find it VERY ironic that the guy WRITING this vitriolic rant is a COSMETIC surgeon...
whose blog advertisements were all for LIPOSUCTION and other slice and dice approaches to getting a nicer figure.
Go figure is right..
;-) Shameful Fact #2: I know this is NOT going to make me popular with some of the calorie shifting community, but some of the folks who have had magnificent personal results, have gone off to become some of the BIGGEST and best advocates for the fat loss 4 idiots diet.
And while this is the BEST endorsement ANY diet can get (it's own members!) some of the folks are just embarrassing themselves, and the community as a whole.
Simply ATTACKING everyone who doesn't agree with the plan, or calling people names, or personal attacks...
or even SHILLING the diet shamelessly to make money (even though I'm an affiliate too) when people are really only looking for facts, just brings the whole movement down.
It also diminishes the tremendous results that many are having as a consequence which is a shame.
