By Myatt Murphy

Neris and India’s Idiot-Proof Diet is a high protein, low-carbohydrate plan that consists of three stages: The first stage is a two-week program that has dieters follow a fairly strict meal plan—although they do offer some substitutions. The second stage is a nine-week program that follows the same high-protein, low-carb guidelines, but gradually introduces other foods, including all vegetables, chocolate, alcohol and seeds.

Dieters continue adhering to a high-protein, low-carb plan, but are allowed to have many higher-carb foods—such as certain fruits and starches—twice a month as a treat.
