Prize
This month's prize is a brand new book from Joel Marion, called "The Cheat to Lose Diet".
I was intrigued by the concept of actually using diet "cheating" to your advantage, and curious to find out the science behind it. Joel did not disappoint. Not only did he explain in easy-to-understand terms exactly how and why his plan works, but he hammered it home by including literally hundreds of scientific studies and references to back his claims.
If that's not enough, at the end of the book, there are 75 awesome recipes from nutritional guru, Dr. John Berardi. In other words, The Cheat to Lose Diet walks you through, step-by-step, how to get the body you want, why it works, and exactly what to eat — all while cheating to your heart's content on a regular basis!
It's strange, but the cheating is actually a required part of the diet. Sounds like a ridiculous claim to get you to buy his book, but you can't deny the research and real-life experience he presents.
How many times has this happened to you? You start a new diet with every intention of sticking to it, cutting out all of your favorite foods and eating exactly what the diet tells you to. At first, you’re thrilled to see the numbers on the scale go down, but after a short while, weight loss slows and you hit a plateau. Then, you’re feeling quite the opposite – frustrated, weak, and unsatisfied. So what do you do? Exactly what we all do when a diet simply isn’t working: quit.
Many times, author, fitness expert, and Body-for-Life champion Joel Marion found himself in a similar place. But through a series of classic diet “screwups,†Joel discovered a startling truth: cheating on your diet can actually accelerate fat loss.
Based on cutting-edge medical research, The Cheat to Lose Diet reveals the hormonal connection between strategic cheating and fat loss that will change the way you diet forever. Special features include:
- An easy-to-follow three-phase program: Priming, Core, and Maintenance
- A simple weekly plan in which more carbohydrates are deliberately added with each passing day, leading up to the “Cheat Dayâ€
- The CTL Cardio Solution: a revolutionary eighteen-minute, fat-melting cardio workout that has been shown to burn up to nine times the fat of traditional cardio
- Tips for staying on track, including twelve weeks of daily menu plans and seventy-five recipes, so you’re never in doubt of the types of foods and meals to enjoy while following the plan
On Cheat Days you’ll cheat BIG with all your favorite foods-chocolate chip cookies, pizza, ice cream–whatever you’d like and as much as you’d like of it. But never again will you feel guilty for indulging in the foods you love because you’ll learn and come to know that dietary cheating is absolutely vital to your fat-loss success.
Here, finally, is a diet that works with your body to help you lose fat faster than restrictive dieting ever could. So start cheating-and losing-today! Visit CheatToLoseDiet.com for your FREE diet plan.

I have used a cheat day for years to maintain my weight as well as when I need to bring my weight down and recommended it to my personal training clients. It provides a great release and allows me to battle through cravings that creep up during the week (It’s only X days until my free day. I can do without that double chocolate brownie delight).
After reading Marion’s book, I found it to be a very simple plan. My wife and I have been test driving it for the last three weeks. By following the principles outlined in his book plus working out five days a week, an average of 30-minutes, my waist is 3/4” smaller.
Awesome, thanks for the inside info. from someone actually using the book Curtis!
I agree, the planned “cheating” really does make it easier to resist temptation in the meantime.
This was a great read and the cheat meals actually make it a realistic long term diet.
