Cheat to Succeed

Unlike Most Fad Diets, the Cheat to Lose Diet is proven to work. By looking at our bodies Leptin levels in association with what we eat, we can shock our metabolisms by altering our Carb and Fat intakes. The diet allows us to cheat one day, which can be seen as a reward for dieting. But are we really dieting? I've been on this diet, close to 2 months and I feel great. Im never hungry, I've been eating foods such as fruits, whole-grains, Foods I havent had in years and I've been shedding off Body Fat and Increasing my Muscles. Out of all the diets I've tried, this is by far the best and most logical way for anybody to diet.

Cheat to Lose, Lose to Win!

If you have been stumbling around in the dark looking for the right weight loss program, look no farther. The light at the end of the tunnel is here. Joel Marion has come up with a three-stage program that will take you where you need to go. The Cheat to Lose Diet is a very easy system that anyone can follow. You have three stages; Priming, Core and Maintenance. I know, you've heard these words before. What makes them different this time? By using strategically placed "cheat" days, you can still eat all your favorite foods and not miss anything. How do I know? I used this diet last year and I lost 18 pounds in six weeks. It works and it is easy and simple to follow. An added bonus, it has easy to prepare menus by Dr. John Berardi, PH.d. one of the industry's leading authorities on nutrition. His meals taste great and they are healthy to boot. This gives you a real two-fisted approach to weight-loss. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose bodyfat, whether you are a weightlifter or a desk bound office jockey that wants to get into shape. This is the book for you.

This diet works!!

I recently purchased this book and gave it a read. I had been dieting and exercising pretty hard lately, but I had been stuck at the same weight and bodyfat level for a good two weeks or so. I was really depriving myself and was getting discouraged. After reading the book, I decided to give the full day cheat a try. On Saturday, I feasted on pancakes, waffles, sausage and hash browns. Later that night, I made macaroni and cheese. I really enjoyed the day as I loved all the food I ate. :) On Sunday, I resumed the diet and exercise plan. It is now Wednesday and I've already lost 3 additional pounds! I'm now officially the lowest weight I've been in over 2 years. The cheating recommended by Joel Marion in this book really works! I've seen the results first hand. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to lose weight but still enjoy life and good food!

Cheat to Lose Diet

I have been following Joel's work on Cheat to Lose since it began back in 2002. It is obvious that Joel has worked and experimented very hard to make sure that the diet works. Not only does he provide you with guidelines for how to implement the diet, but for those interested (and trust me, you will be once you start reading the book), he goes into great detail about what happens to your body during a calorie restricted and why they simply don't work long term. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in changing their body composition for the better.

Excellent

Excellent book. Easy to read, informative. I know some people will ask "isn't this just a eat clean during the week and cheat on weekends book?" No, it's not. Joel tells you how to use strategic cheat meals to keep your fat burning hormones (letpin) primed and working with you, not against you, as they do on many traditional diets. The book will help you out with exercise, meal planning and how to set up each of the phases of the diet. My only problem is that it's called a "diet." I know that word sells, but it should be called a life-style, since this plan could be followed long-term. As with all diet books, there is a long list of recipes in the back. I don't like this aspect, but I know many people do. I will say that the recipes are easy to use and use common ingredients, unlike books that have you running to specialty shops for odd ingredients. Overall, I'd give the book 5 stars, and I'm very selective when it comes to diet and exercise books.
