If you're interested in fat loss, there's an online diet with a funny name that's supposed to help you lose 9 lbs every 11 days. It's called Fat Loss 4 Idiots and it describes a new method to lose weight.

Most low fat or low carb diets don't work that well because you end up losing energy and feeling weak. This program uses something called "calorie shifting" to give you really effective weight loss. The idea is to follow a menu that shifts the types of calories you eat each day to lose weight while maintaining high energy.

One of the benefits of using an online diet generator is that you can easily track your progress from anywhere and compute the calories for each meal automatically. There's information to help you buy the right groceries, eat regularly spaced meals, and lose fat through a structured program.

›› Definition: Calorie

The scale factor used here comes from Google Calculator, but the typical application is that a pound of body fat is equivalent to roughly 3500 calories. There are many variations in the measurements of body fat vs. nutritional fat, so more information is needed for an accurate calculation.

Some sources state that a gram of fat contains 9 calories. There are close to 454 grams in a pound, so that would total 4086 calories.

The difference occurs because body fat contains not only fat, but also other substances including water. The dietary fat in the nutritional analysis of food is pure.

Generally, you can use 3500 calories per pound to compute the amount of body fat you burn through activities, and 9 calories per gram if you're computing the nutritional content of food.
