The 2-Week Diet
$37.00
Pros
- Cheap price
Cons

- Scammy advertising
- Fake Testimonials with stock, stolen photos

- Lite version of another weight loss scam
Don’t waste your time and money trying The 2 Week Diet by ‘Brian Flatt’ because it is a scam! This program is nothing more than the lite version of Flatt’s older, more popular weight loss scam The 3 Week Diet and in this review, you’ll find out all the reasons why you should stay away from this product.
Created in 2014 and updated in 2016, The 2 Week Diet claims to have the ‘little-known information’ that will help you lose as much as 8 to 16 pounds of fat every 2 weeks. Just as he claimed in The 3 Week Diet video presentation, Flatt says that his new program doesn’t involve ‘eat less and exercise more’ type of weight loss, or long workouts, or even the use of ‘dangerous pills and questionable supplements.’ Oh yeah?
Basis of The 2 Week Diet
So what’s the science behind The 2 Week Diet? According to Flatt, 5 things cause your inability to lose weight:
- You’re getting bad information about weight loss
- You’re suffering from ‘cellular’ inflammation
- You’re counting calories and focusing on the ‘eat less and exercise more’ approach
- You’re not seeing results despite your efforts
- You lack the right plan
I couldn’t help but laugh after reading these points. This is because the scammer himself spread bad information about weight loss and promoted calorie counting and drug use in his older 3 Week Diet program. By the way, the video presentations of The 2 Week Diet and The 3 Week Diet are practically the same. So don’t expect anything new in the 2 Week Diet.
Now let me quickly tell you the reasons why this program is a scam:
1. Brian Flatt Does NOT Exist!
Brain Flatt calls himself ‘a certified personal trainer, bestselling author, weight loss consultant, certified nutritionist, speaker…’ but that’s all nonsense. Why? Because he’s just a stock photo you can easily buy from Shutterstock.com!
I won’t really waste my time trying to prove this any further. This is because in my earlier review of The 3 Week Diet I detailed how I tried – and failed – to verify Flatt’s identity and qualifications. So head over to the review for more details.
2. Fake Testimonials With Stolen Photos
Just like in The 3 Week Diet, The 2 Week Diet’s testimonials are all made with stolen photos. For example:
- ‘Amelia’ is actually the stolen photo of a Reddit user with the username BeaReasonable. In the thread, this user explained that she lost weight by using dance workouts on ClubFitz YouTube page.
- ‘Diana’ is actually the stolen photo of a woman named Bec. She lost weight by using ketogenic diet.
So what does this tell you? The creator of this program is a liar and thief!
Update 12.03.2019:
Apparently the scammers behind this program realized that their phony testimonials have been exposed as fake and so they decided to replace the photos of ‘Amelia’ and ‘Diana.’ The problem, however, is that the replacement photos are also fake, because they are all stock photos!
- The new photo of ‘Amelia’ is a stock photo you can buy from iStock;
- The new photo of ‘Diana’ is a stock photo from iStock also and
- ‘Chris’ is yet another stock photo from iStock.
Seriously, this scammer is not smart.
3. Promotes Crash Dieting, Demonizes Carbs
In the video presentation, we are told that 2 Week Diet is not about ‘eat less and exercise more’ approach to weight loss. However, from what I can infer from the preview version of the program, 2 Week Diet is all about promoting crash dieting.
Specifically, 2 Week Diet is all about eliminating carbs, while eating specific portions of proteins and ‘essential fats’ up to five times a day. Flatt went as far as to claim that carbohydrates ‘do not provide any nutritional benefit to the human body – none whatsoever.’ Say what?
Of course, crash dieting leads to weight loss. But the side effects are very unpleasant and dangerous … and ultimately, you WILL REGAIN all the lost weight. Yes, it is true that you won’t die if you stop eating carbs, but that does not mean that they are not essential to life. This is because eliminating carbs will lead to:
- Messed up metabolism
- Weakness
- Hormone imbalance
- Stress
- Brain fog
- Restlessness, irritability
- Tendency to indulge in binge eating
- Reduced immunity, meaning that you’ll fall sick often
All these symptoms will eventually lead to rebound weight gain, which is more difficult to lose. So are you still thinking that carbs are not essential to life or has no nutritional benefit to the human body? Besides, this is a very miserable way to live considering all the side effects listed above, don’t you think?
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY The 2 Week Diet. It is A SCAM!
Blacklisted Website: 2WeekDiet.com
Don’t also forget that the scammer behind this product once tried to sue Contra Health Scam for exposing his flagship scam The 3 Week Diet. This is just another reason for you to avoid this product like a plague!
Of course, just like most similar scams out there, a pop up (with a voice) blocks you from leaving the website. Then you are offered a $10 discount and given 2 minutes to accept the offer. Welcome the all too familiar pressure tactic!

Thanks for sharing this excellent reviews, i will follow it
Eliminating carbs and upping good fats into yiur diet is essentially doing the keto diet…your body then uses fat as fuel if done correctly (counting fats, protein and carbs ie your macros ) you can lose that kind of weight .
A normal, healthy person can do a short-term diet. I followed the 3 week diet, lost 15 lbs and have kept it off. Maybe because I avoid wheat, get my fiber from oats and rye.and don’t eat sweets, exept dark chocolate. Carbs are not essential to the human body while proteins and essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) are and the latter can help burn body fat. The 3 and 2 Week Diets are a quick solution, not a life-style. The key is to follow a healthy diet afterwards avoiding hormones, chemicals, and pestisides mainstream food industry feeds us, which is why I prefer organic. I’m more energetic, productive and happier by getting a jump start and slightly changing my eating habits.
Bruh, what’s ur email I’d or do u have any social account!?
Hi! I have been looked into the 2 Week Diet (listenming to audiobook and reviewing the handbook). While the concepts are to some extent true they are not at all unique and are well been discussed in other Diet books. What makes me suspicious is several contradictory statements throughout the book. From the top of my head I remember an example where the ”author” recommends intermittent fasting and states he follows it himself rarely eating after 6pm. But very shortly after he states that rarely a day goes by when he soes not indulge in Ben & Jerrys at bedtime????? Also what makes me suspicious is similar to those ”stolen” ID images mentioned above. I myself noticed that promoting his supplement ”Daily Energy” one supposedly random consumer called Dave T. (with picture of fit & healthy mature man) in fact is world renowned author and Paleo lifestyle follower Mark Sisson….now… Read more »
It seems like his plan is a more extreme keto diet. Just looking at the pictures I was like no way they got that way in 2 weeks. I think in the video he says that the diet is tailored to you, but yet after you pay you get a download. How can it be tailored to the client if it’s an immediate download?
I’m pretty sure they mean tailored from a genographic perspective, weight, age, sex, etc.
Thank you for your help in getting a refund! This guy is a JOKE!!
Just wanted to let you guys know that this program actually does work. After a week of following the program I’ve already started to lose a few pounds. Not sure why all the hate, it’s just a diet program lol. If you don’t like it, get a refund, simple.
Sorry Obinna Ossai, but I had to look you up and found out that you’re a scammer yourself lol, Just google him and read through his twitter. Medical doctor?? I don’t think so.
Right his reasoning for writing these SCAM articles is a little fishy to me.. I might be wrong, but it looks like he using his platform to call stuff scams, while he recommend a competitors product in every blog. Sounds like he a affiliate of all them recommended products. I have watch bloggers/affiliates do this for years call stuff scams which a lot are, but all the stuff they recommend they a affiliate marketer of. He could easily put his affiliate link in them clickbuttons. Never take a person serious when they call a product a Scam, than recommend one. I been in affiliate/online marketing for awhile. He can easily write a SCAM article without recommending something else.
So your ‘proof’ that I’m a scammer is that I stated my medical doctor status on my Twitter? Hilarious. Nice to hear you lost weight using the program. Hope you’ve been able to keep it off.
You have no clue what you are talking about and you couldn’t do a product review if your life depended on it. You can’t write so I don’t know how to do a proper review and I don’t understand why Google even ranks you.
Alright so let’s have your rebuttal of the points laid out in the review.
