yayFOOD versus Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Hello-

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.

First, take a look at a before and after photo of the owner of Yayfood - Rachel Rofe:

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’s 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.

Britney Spears and the eat half of everything diet

Hello-

I read in a gossip magazine the other day about how Britney Spears has started working out again and modified her junk food cravings in an attempt to lose 20 pounds.

Here she is looking a little bit slimmer:

One of the things I read was that she was still eating all the junk food shes loves but that she was only eating half of what she ordered. So if you love fast food from Wendy’s or McDonald’s you can order the Big Macs or the Frosty from Wendy’s but just eat half of it.

Let me tell you how I actually did this this past Saturday. I just finished watching my son’s baseball game and was getting some grumblings in my belly and wanted something to eat. I picked up some BBQ from Bill Miller’s and ordered a slice of their delicious pecan pie. If you’ve ever had it, you know it’s a treat. One bite of that rich, crunchy pie crust and savory filling…mmmm

It is so good but I knew it was loaded with calories and not especially a healthy choice. So I only ate half of it. I was able to push the plate away and not eat the rest of it. Go back to a couple years ago and there would be no way that I would have the self control to do that.

It has taken me that long to know that what I eat affects my weight and all the other consequences that entails. But that doesn’t mean you cannot give yourself any treats. You cannot live your life sacrificing all the desserts out there. You cannot live on salads alone. Well, unless you cover it in ranch dressing, bacon bits, and tons of croûtons :o)

So indulge yourself once in a while and just have the self control to only eat half of that delectable treasure.

Have a great day!

-Adam

Lose 60 pounds for $15,000 and only 4 minutes a day

Hello-

Have you ever seen those ads for an exercise machine that you only have to use for 4 minutes a day? Here’s what you get in that 4 minutes:

“a complete non-impact cardio, resistance- and flexibility workout.”

I mean who couldn’t find 4 minutes to workout if it combined all your workouts in one? Each commercial break you watch is about 3 minutes so fitting an entire workout in only four minutes is a bargain. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that the machine costs almost $15,000. OUCH! Considering it’s going to get you in the best shape of your life in only 4 minutes a day, I’d say that’s probably a good deal. If you want to read more about this exercise machine, check out http://www.fastexercise.com/

There’s tons of testimonials on that site with people who have lost 60 pounds working out only 4 minutes a day. He said he actually increased it to 5 minutes even though it wasn’t necessary.

If you don’t have an extra $15,000 lying around to spend for an exercise machine then check out the Total Gym. You’ve seen these advertised on infomercials all the time by Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley.

You can get them on eBay for about $500.
