I was glad I lost 4 kgs, but now I am gaining it back. I have long plateaus which are frustrating. Weight just does not want to drop. Exam prep forces me behind the books and I lost the bit of physical condition. Hope I can find the motivation to work out at vaca. :o(

Are you on Fat Loss 4 Idiots?
On FL4I you go on an 11 day generated diet, eating 4 meals per day. Day 2 is "Fruit Day" and here is how that goes:
DAY #2
Today is a day of FRUIT ONLY for 3 meals --- plus a DELI-MEAT Sandwich for 1 meal.
This means that 3 meals must consist of only FRESH FRUIT and nothing else, and 1 meal must consist of just a sandwich (as shown below).
Meal #1
For Meal #1 you must eat a DELI MEAT SANDWICH.
This Sandwich must be made from the below ingredients only:
• 2 Pieces of bread
This means REGULAR-sized sandwich bread (normal sliced bread).
• Any deli style MEAT
(such as roast beef, ham, pastrami, turkey, or any other deli meat).
• Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Onions are OPTIONAL
*You don't have to use these condiments, they are optional.
Meal #2, Meal #3 and Meal #4 are explained BELOW:
For Meal #2, Meal #3 and Meal #4 you must eat FRESH FRUIT chosen from the below list only:
• Oranges
• Pears
• Apples
• Grapes
• Peaches
• Plums
• Strawberries
• Kiwis
• Grapefruit
*All fruit must be fresh fruit, and you may eat as many of these fruits as you wish per meal. There is NO LIMIT on portions either.
Then Day # 8 is "Veggie Day" and it goes like this:
DAY #8
Today is a day of VEGETABLES AND SALAD ONLY
This means that all 4 meals for this day must consist of only VEGETABLES or SALAD and nothing else.
You'll be eating 4 meals (just like other days), but you must choose foods from the below list only:
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Green Beans
• Onions
• Celery
• Carrots
• Pinto Beans
• Sprouts
• Spinach
• Broccoli
• Zucchini
• Squash
• Peppers
You may top each meal with only ONE of the following 2 items (but not both):
1 ounce of Grated Cheese (or)
3 tablespoons of Low-Calorie Salad Dressing
