The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet Review wouldn’t be complete without a word of caution and a “buyers beware” notice for this quick fix diet. Losing 9 pounds in 11 days is an unhealthy and unsafe weight loss that will be impossible to maintain. The immediate dip in body weight is due to water loss and the reduction of starchy carbohydrates. On a diet such as this you will be looking at muscle loss and a noticeable drop in metabolism as well.
