Idiot-Proof Diet
I was introduced to the Idiot-Proof Diet by my wife, who always seems to know how
to find these things. What you do is use the online software to create an 11-day menu, where you have to eat all the meals the
plan creates for you based on choices you make, you can eat them in any order and as much as you deem necessary at each meal, as
long as you don’t stuff yourself until you feel full, and of course there’s the obligatory high amounts of water that you have to
drink each day, though, on this diet, you can mix it up with other diet drinks. After the 11 days, you get 3 days to eat whatever
you want, as long as you don’t stuff yourself, whenever you wish, then you’re supposed to start it all over again. I decided to
give it a try, as another bonding exercise with her, and believed I would be fine on it.
Of course, I did my research before beginning, as I’m a type II diabetic. I couldn’t find one bad thing about it from anyone,
which I found interesting because one will usually find all the bad things before they’ll find the good things. I could only
find two reviews from people who were diabetic, and both of them were type I diabetics.
Here the deal. After you create a username and password, you get to go through this process of selecting the meals you’re going to
eat for the next 11 days. It gives you these series of choices, and you have to select something from that particular list. As
with many of these things, there were some times when I had to pick the lesser of four evils, as I’m not much on fruits or
vegetables. After you’ve answered the questions, the program creates your menu, along with instructions of what each of the meal
definitions means, and some of the other things you’re allowed to have, such as low fat mayonnaise, no sugar, etc.
The first thing I noticed was that I at least ended up, for the most part, with meals that I would eat. There were a couple of
choices that I wasn’t necessarily happy with, such as egg salad, but I figured that I had four meals each day, and I’d get the
things I didn’t like in during one of the afternoon meals, since you’re supposed to eat them within 2
