Win a FREE copy of the Cheat Your Way Thin Holiday Edition!

Hi Joel,

Since I hear about your program a few days ago, I have been hooked. Every day I’m looking forward to hearing more about the program, and am anticipating great results. I recently lost 25 lbs but like always it is sooo hard to keep it off. I will be the first to admit that I cheat and eventually sabotage my own efforts. It would be wonderful to find a program that I could “cheat” in and win. I am motivated but it does get discouraging to get stuck on a plateau and never seem to get off. Your program sounds like something that could work for me and many of my friends and associates. Can you imagine losing weight during the holidays! If it works, that’s what I’ve been looking for, and I won’t hesitate to tell it from the mountain tops. Thanks for sharing your program.

Hi Joel,
Thanks for the great information thus far. I am eagerly awaiting your cheat your way thin eating calender you mentioned on your last blog. I need this not just for myself, but for my mom and my sister. They need a little boost in the weight loss battle. My mom was recently diagnosed with diabetes which runs in her family. Both my mom and my sister are about 40 pounds overweight. They are obese. My mom has also had high blood pressure for a while. So I need this to help my sister because I don’t want her to take the same path my mother is on. My sister will definitely be hit with these diseases earlier than my mother did. Yes I too have a few pounds to lose, but I really want to help my mother and especially my sister with your program. Thanks Joel!

I have been in a very intense situation for the past 2 years. I have been the main caregiver to my terminally ill husband who recently passed away.

I had very little time for my self and gained some weight as well as losing muscle. I am now in the beginning stages of re-inventing myself and feel this is the perfect time to try something new like your program.

I have found that many of the “lifestyle” changing programs are little more than fancy diets and am hoping that this plan is really different.

If I were to win one of the free copies it would be that much better.

Thanks, Edith

Joel, I am a mother of 2 small boys. I still have 20+ pounds of leftover “baby weight” and my “baby” will be 3 on Saturday. Over the past several years I have been very interested in nutrition and have done SO much research online. The problem is, for some reason, I have a super hard time putting all my researach into practice. I think I let myself get overwhelmed with all the data and am paralyzed when it comes to actually committing to DOING some of it. I have been searching for a program that TELLS ME WHAT TO DO, so I no longer feel paralyzed. After reading about your program, I feel it is exactly what I need to start getting back on track. Having a schedule laid out for me gives me NO excuses (it is really easy to use my kids as an excuse, but in my heart I know that I will be an even better mom if I finally start taking care of myself). I am confident that following your “plan” (without having to take the time to come up with my own) will FINALLY allow me to get back to my pre-baby self (and probably even healthier and more fit). And, getting to “cheat” too… what an awesome bonus! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. I know you’ll make a difference in many lives.

I need this book Joel!!! I gained 13 pound from october to january last year and it took me 6 months to lose that. Sadly, most of it was lost due to stress which, based off knowledge i have gained from you, has left me in worse shape then I was in during 2008. I dont want to repeat this cycle over and over. I would be ever so grateful if I won one.

Hello Joel,
I’ve tried so many diets in the past you have no idea. Just like you said in one of your articles, diets set you up for failure and I have experienced this first hand. I feel useless because I can’t lose all my extra fat and it takes a big toll on my self esteem. I’ve spent endless hours at the gym combined with many diets and nothing seems to work. I’ve been reading your articles closely and I now see why nothing has worked. I need a program that is do able and not mentally demanding to the point where I feel I can’t do it anymore. Your insight on using your favorite food to lose weight is amazing and makes perfect sense after reading what you have said. Why didn’t anyone else think of this? I believe, no wait, I KNOW this program is my solution to my fat loss problem. If I am given a free copy of CYWT:HE, I promise to follow exactly what the book says and I WILL lose my fat and I will be able to look at myself in the mirror and be satisfied.

Thanks,
Travis

Hi Joel
My request is straight forward. I have tried just about every fad diet going, I go to the gym 3 times a week and I am careful what I eat but I just can’t seem to shift those pesky pounds. My pharmacist tells me I am obese but then says ‘hey BMI is just a number; be comfortable with who YOU are’ but I’m not, not yet. I have read your articles with fascination and feel that your way is the way forward for me.

Hi Joel,
In the last two years, I have watch my husband, whittle down from 300lbs to an action figure sized 185. In the last two years, I have had two abdominal surgeries and done nothing but gain. It’s like we changed places. I have been working out consistently for almost three months and hardly seen any change in my weight. Although I am getting stronger which I love, I have MS and cannot work out as hard as I would like to. Your plan seems to have the balance that most diets don’t and that I have not been willing to try knowing I cannot maintain that lifestyle, and will gain the weight back. I know that at this point, loosing weight is going to be about diet for me since I have about 15 pounds to loose, and I just have not been able to find balance there. I want so badly to give my Husband the wife that he married…that looks as good or better than when we first fell in love. I want to be more than his wife, I want to be the girl that turns his head every time.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks for your consideration.

@Leonie –
Hi Joel!
Here’s my story.
I am 36 years old. I graduated from high school at 140 pounds. Was definitely over 200 pounds within 4 years from partying and eating crap. Walked into a gym and discovered weights and met an amazing mentor/personal trainer that changed my life! Started lifting weights and changed slightly, then started to eat healthy and my weight went down to 150 within 6 months!
Bought that gym, competed in bodybuilding, and then sold that gym after 5 years….
Now, 6 years later…..had quit lifting weights and eating healthy. My weight is now 168 lbs! I am a personal trainer. I want to be a good role model :)
I am tired of struggling with food and feeling fat. I feel strong as I am back lifting weights…but I can’t seem to eat healthy consistently enough. I crave and eat sugar and crap and am tired of food controlling me. I restart my healthy eating plan EVERDAY! I need help and I need a plan.
Thanks Joel:)
Have a great weekend!
Mel

Hey Joe,

Well at 56 years old and about 20 kilos overweight i have to be worried about my weight. I want to be able to spend time with my gradkids, see them start walking, go to school attend their graduation etc. Everything i tried so far has had limited and inconsistent results which have also not been sustainable. Now i want to cheat my way thin.
Cheers. From South Africa

Hi Joel, I am 5’7 and about 140 pounds, so I don’t sound overweight. However I am slim, so the extra, probably only a few pounds, is hanging under my chest. As a 45 year old, its becoming harder to shift than ever and living in China makes professional help hard to understand. My wife and daughter could also benefit from a program which increases the metabolism, they cannot do much exercise so the extra help would make a huge difference to their well being.
I have been excited by what I have read in the previous posts and as they make good sense I would love to experiment on my family. If it works for us, it should work for everyone!

Although we would do it together, I want the “Cheat Your Way Thin Holiday Edition” programme mainly for my wife. She has tried everything to lose weight, but never succeeded. In our 26 years of married life she has tried all the media advertised weight loss programs, clubs, gyms, delivered foods, meditation, etc (all rip-offs), and works very hard at exercising every day to lose weight. She is very positive: she tells me every day that it is working and that she has lost weight. She refuses to get on the bathroom scales with me looking. Fair dinkum mate, if she had really lost as much as she claims altogether, she wouldn’t exist now. That’s how I know that she is already a compulsive cheater and a “cheat your way thin” will be perfect for her, because she already knows how to cheat and now she deserves to learn how to apply it in your program to get some real results. I know she will do it because she is secretly desperate to improve her shape, wear nice clothes, and reduce her high blood pressure, so that she can tell me, “I told you I was losing weight.”

Hi Joel,
My name is Bonnie. I am a 31 year old girl who has never felt at home in her own body. I have over 100lbs to lose.

At an early age I was told ‘you are so pretty…if only you’d lose a few pounds’ – by my father. At this stage I was only about 110lbs but being 4ft 10″ any excess weight stands out. I grew up believing I was fat and not worthy. Over the years i gained more weight because I tried all of the so called ‘healthy diets’, sure they would work for a while and to lose a few pounds but they were unrealistic and I was unable to stick to them. Thus creating a vicious circle and paving the way to a deep depression.

I have recently become a huge fan for The Diet Solution and The Fat Burning Kitchen but I still need help as I merge their teachings into a food plan that I can LIVE by.

What can I say… I need help. I really NEED help. I’m drowning and need a life raft. I am positive that with your program, I can finally pull myself up out of the abyss and finally become the beautiful and HAPPY girl I have missed out being all of these years.

Bonnie

Hi Joel,
Having a complete plan laid out for me will be perfect I think. Not to have to think about what to eat and when to eat it will take a lot of pressure off. I have read your updates and it seems to make sense. When on a diet before I noticed sometimes that if I cheat a little bit it did not effect the weight loss which surprised me at the time. Now it makes more sense. Getting a complete system will help me stick to a program to finally lose all the weight I want to lose.
Thank you for making this avaliable.

The holiday season is probably the most dreaded time of the year for bodybuilders, both hobbyists and hardcore alike. What with the sight of those shiny slabs of meat, creamy chocolate cakes and ice creams, staying away from flab and fats is indeed a scary challenge. Especially if you are like me who’ve had a long history of failing to cut out my intake of those “sinful” stuffs. Thus, I really believe that having the help of someone who’s been there and who’s done that would be a big boost for me in facing this eternal adversary.

I’ve been an on and off bodybuilder for the past 10 years and I do admit that I haven’t had any great success in keeping myself off this delectable items during the holidays. Thus, I believe that I need an effective guide to keep me from ballooning into humongous proportions during the season. An easy step-by-step program that would enable me to apply an effective method to eat happily without compromising anything in terms of gaining gats and losing lean mass.

I have read so many supposed to be “revolutionary approach” in maintaining lean mass and cutting off fats during this time of the year but nothing, and I mean nothing, has proven to be effective for me. Hopefully, this new program from you would be able to help me finally nail it down. That’s the reason why I believe I need this one badly.

Give it to me, i’m getting married next week :O
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE FOOD and specially carbs :(
weight has always been an issue for me. so whats better than helping me out with information about how i can continue eating and lose weight and stay healthy. Also my post is the shortest so I saved you some time :p

Hi Joel.
As we all know dieting has to become a way of life, not only must one make lifestyle changes in order to become the you ,you know is in you, but to be successful it must be a realistic way of life. The cheat your way thin programe offers this and so much more. It offers you a new look at the “word diet’, cos it aint like all the other programes out there. We all know that as soon as your FAT CELLS hear the word DIET they get out their hooks and dig even deeper into your HIPS THIGHS and especially your TUMMY and try as you want you cannot seem to move it!!!!HAHA But having said that i would love to be the one you choose to give one of the free programmes to cos I sure will do justice to it and then some. I am a long distance runner and have weight to lose on my tummy that is hanging on for dear life!!The thought that I can CHEAT my way THIN does not seem REAL and my little BRAIN is having a hard time processing it so yes I like millions of people would like to see your programme in ACTION. So come on give a young vibrant woman a chance!!!

Two years ago I had a medical exam, and weighed 197 (5′ 10″). I was shocked, and proceeded to loose two pounds a month for 7 months. Then I hit a plateau. Since then, my weight varies a few pounds either way. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, and occasional fish or chicken (no sweets of any kind). I exercise moderately every day, with not much payoff. I’m excited to try such a thoroughly researched and proven plan.

You are a God sent! Everything you are talking about makes sense. I have been struggling with eating issues in all my life and restricting calories as much as I can, just to end up over eating later. When I’m able to restrict and diet for a long time I notice that my weight hardly drops. This program will teach me how to eat in a “sane” way, and actually enjoy a “normal” size of meal and not to feel guilty about it. So for me this is not just about weight loss but also will help me to get over a life time issue with food. Hallelujah :-)))))) If i win, I would be more then happy to post a “before” and “after” picture. Thanks Joel!

Hey Joel,
To me I don’t even know what is healthy, fattening, unhealthy, etc. anymore. The fitness and nutrition industry has me confused from so many things posted on the internet I don’t know what is true and what isn’t. I’ve tried two nutrition programs, not giving any names, they both had some similarities but many differences. However, these programs made me lose weight ,but very little of it. Then i stumbled across Cheat Your Way Thin, while looking for something new and you seemed to know what you were talking not like other people who just restate basics.Especially now that the holidays are right around the corner I won’t be able to resist all the foods presented to me. Acquiring this system will hopefully get me out of this confusion i live in of nutrition and most importantly, burn the fat I possess.

Thank you,
Fernando.

I am 32 years old and currently weigh 134kg. I have tried dieting in the past and I have realized that it doesn’t work. Last year I tried exercising at the gym and I lost about 14kg. This year I moved into a new province where there is no gymnasium, no health shops and I guess also I have been lazy blaming that on being upset with my company for sending me to work in such a horrible area.
In the last month and a half I have been diagnozed with hypertension due to my weight and just yesterday when I went for my check up after being on the hypertension medication for a month I have been diagnozed with an indication of diabetes (that its guaranteed I will have it if I don’t change anything, the levels are already high). The doctor told me to start eating a diabetic diet to avoid anymore illnesses. So I need your methods to help me first to loose weight and to get my health back on line because at this rate I feel I’m heading for the grave at a very early age and living my kids alone.

My wife has tried all the diets; weight watchers, slimmers world, lighter life.
She lost 3 1/2 stone with lighter life, but has now put most of it back on (over about 2 years).
She loves food, and is a stress eater (aren’t we all?) She’s given up her full time job to try and reduce her stress (to make it easier to lay off the food), but ‘normal’ diets (calorie counting etc) struggle to allow her to lose more than 1 pound a week (which is so disheartening).
I love my wife, and I just want her to be happy. I don’t want / need her to lose weight, but she is not happy with her size.
Please help her regain her self confidence with a copy of this weight loss system.
Thanks

Cheat your way thin is perfect for me because I love CHEESEBURGERS!!!! and working out your the only one that has ever told me I should mix the two to accelerate my progress.
As I was reading your emails I had to keep pinching myself. Not only because you are telling me I can eat the things I love to eat on occasion but it makes sense to me…finally something that deals with the psychological which to me is always the hardest hurdle. You rock!!!

With all the “healthy” influences on TV, in print, in the media, and passed down through years of family ideas, we as a society have lost the ability to properly supply our bodies with adequate nutrition. I believe we need to change the last 80 years of thinking and go back to the basics and teach our families how food can be a life sustaining form of nutrition as well as an incredible form of enjoyment and adventure. I look forward to sharing with my family a new “lifestyle” of eating and promoting health and wellness.

I work hard at exercisung, have changed my diet and still cannot seem to loose weight. From what I have read so far, this might give me the extra bit needed to actually shed some weight.

Not everything that makes sense is inspiring…especially for weight loss. You know, if you want to look good you have stop eating what you enjoy (e.g. pizza) and start spending time in places you don’t enjoy (e.g. the gym).

But the last six episodes have been messing with my head – if what you’ve been sharing is really true (and Im willing to use my own body this Christmas to find out), then i’m onto a total revolution!!!

Sometimes i don’t even go to dinner parties because i just no im gonna fail! However, thanks to the ‘black book’ i cant wait to hit the party scene this Chrissy – between lots of water and lots of proteins i think im gonna manage just fine!!! And im gonna lose some weight in the process? Now this i gotta see!

Joel, you’ve never let me down before (ive already gone from 236lbs to 203lbs thanks to you) – and i know that not about to change – bring on the turkey!

Hi I am 55 years old and I think I have tried almost every diet on the planet and cannot stay on them for very long. The ones I have stayed on the longest – I will lose weight and then I just stop and cannot seem to ever get over any plateaus that happen and no one can really help – they just say stick with it and you will overcome. That very seldom happens. From the thing i have read and seen on your videos – I beleive that what you are saying can help me get that around the middle fat that is hard to get rid of and get the rest of my body back in shape.
Just a note I do believe like you say that you can eat what you like and lose weight as I did find that happened the odd time for me when i was dieting and could not stand not having some of my favorite foods and when I did I lost more on those days than some of the ones I was being good on. So i hope after reading this you will pick me for your free book as I think it can make a big difference in my life where stroke and heart attack run in the family. Thanks

I admire what you have accomplished Joel. Like most of your bloggers I too have excess weight. Diets work for a very short time and that depresses me. Even when I went to a dietician still nothing. Quite a few years ago, more than half my life I had a stroke. Since then I have struggled with my weight greatly. I can;’t exercise too much as my limbs don’t want to play. By reading your blog and keeping track of the goings on I am confident that your program may be very good for me. To get me out of that constant debilitating feeling of not being able to do things. Here’s to everyone’s health and merry xmas.

Joel,
This is the perfect program for me at exactly this point in my life. I just recently completed a 6 week body challenge in which I lost 24 pounds. Now that the challenge is over I am having trouble finding a happy medium between the challenge diet I was on and having the foods that I enjoy. Being only 6 days out of the challenge I feel that I am starting to back peddle a bit. Being a chef my mouth is watering for all the yummy dishes I’ve tried to forget the last 6 weeks. Working at a restaurant/bakery hasn’t helped with the cravings. I still have over 60 pounds to lose before I get to that happy weight. I am determined to meet my next goal to 20 pounds by December 31. I have been on many different diets before and at this point in my life I feel that I am ready to make a permanent change. I that I have always struggled with the mental aspect of dieting by feeling like I am being cheated out of having the “tastey stuff”. When I do “cheat” I feel guilty. This IS the PERFECT PROGRAM for me. I need all the help I can to stay on track and I feel with your knowledge I will finally be able to reach my ultimate goal.

Your program sounds amazing! I feel so fortunate to have found out about you. Your life’s work is my new discovery. I am hoping to lose 15 1bs of stubborn fat that wont seem to come off with what I consider a good exercise program. I will be truthful that I already have days where I eat really healthy & days where I splurge every week. I need the game plan on how to to use these splurge days “cheat days” to my advantage.

Here’s a quick background on me. My name is Lacy. I live in Pennyslvania. I am a 23 year old college student living in the dorms. I am not sure how the “freshman 15″ hit me since I really dont eat pizza & drink beer, like the college sterotype. I do work as a promotional model on weekends until I get my licence as a dental hygienist. What bothers me most is how I feel like a failure. I know I am not living up to my potential. I often feel sluggish & my jeans all fit tight.

To top it off my boss actually told me if I didnt lose some lbs he would have to let me go. “Nothing personal” he said. Well, it hit home to me. It made me realize I’m not the only one noticing the added lbs. I am NOT trying to lose weight to please my boss. I am doing it to prove to myself that I am not a faliure & that even though I am surrounded by people who seem to never let slip up on their clean eating lifestyle. I am going to be a healthy beautiful woman. I admit I am a bit selfish I want to be thin & satsfied. Is that a crime?

Thank You for the opportunity!

Goooood morning Joel!!
Greetings from South Africa. Thanks for taking the time in reading my letter, by sending met the newsletters every day you havent only been motivating me, but one of my good friends aswell. You see, Chloe is quite obese and I took it upon myself to help her in any way I can, me myself..well im overweight for my size. We made a packt that we will motivate each other, do meal plans, exercise together and try all that we can to help each other to achieve our goals. The feeling of not wanting to swim in public, a cupboard full of clothes not fitting and lacking convidence will be a thing in the past if you will grant our wish and help us. Summer has already reached us here in the RSA, so Joel…please please free me and Chloe from our bodily prisons!!! Baie dankie….(Thank you)

Ever since receiving your “Holiday Fat Loss Black Book” on November 11, 2009 I have anxiously awaited receipt of each of your 6 Launch updates with great interest. Having dieted all my life in a desperate attempt at keeping my body slim I can totally agree with you that “dieting” can’t work. I read with great interest your theory on Leptin and would really like to apply this principle in my life. I am soon to be married for the second time round and am desperately trying to lose an extra 15 lbs before the big day in February. For the last 3 months I have been following a high protein low carb diet and thus far only managed to lose 12 lbs and seem not to have hit a plateau. I am convinced from all your knowledge and expertise that you have the answer for me on how to achieve this goal. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Hi Joel,
I’m interested in your program because I’ve always been at the higher end of “normal”. I even have had love handles because I’ve been squeezing into tighter jeans since Gr. 6. Even back then I wanted to prove that I wasn’t one of the chubby kids who didn’t exercise enough. I’ve always been active: Tae kwon do, Ringette (like hockey), basketball, and snowboarding. To my dismay, that doesn’t change my body fat. Last year, I went on a vacation for 2 months; when I came back, I was 25lbs heavier, though my diet hadn’t changed (wonder what the food standards are). I’ve since lost 20lbs, but the last 5. So now I’m 5lbs heavier than before, which wasn’t an ideal either. I’ve always been very academic and when you started talking about leptin my eyes opened; you actually know the facts. It’d be like a dream to get the body I want, intimidate the opposition with my lean physique, and I’d be healthier without the extra weight. It’d be something I never had before. Thank you for everything you’ve done, and hosting such a splendid contest.
Sincerely,
Mak

Hey Joel,

It has been very stressful for me in the last few years. My life has had many ups and downs and I’ve only hit the age of 20. Trying to be a good student, a good son and a good friend to everyone puts a lot of stress on a teen and having to worry about my health adds to that stress. A few years ago, my mother had to have surgery to have a few tumors removed and she is now very restricted in her diet. It’s not that she’s unhealthy, but it’s just the way things are. It gave me a huge wake up call on how something so little as what we put into our bodies can impact how well you can live your life. With all the confusion about diets and what’s good to eat and what’s not, having to worry about that on top of my studies and everything else really affects a person and for that reason, I think your plan would be perfect. I would love the opportunity to try it out and hopefully live a healthier and stress-free life. Thank you for all you have done, you’ve helped me improve physically and mentally with all your tips and keep up the great work.

Kevin

Hi Joel, thankyou for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate all of the information so far. I have been working to drop the excess weight (20kg) I have for twelve months or so now but it has been a slow process since I discovered that I have PCOS (polycystic ovaries). I am told that people with this condition have to work extra hard to lose weight. In the past I have enjoyed many different eating plans but my willpower seems to have run out. It wavers around the two week mark now. I believe your ‘cheat your way thin’ theory will suit my needs and save me from falling back into a state of depression. Yes, I did let myself go after several years of hard training and lost my way. Now I am ready to get fit and resume my life!

Exactly why this program is the perfect program for me at this point in my life and why I need access to this information:
I am a working 46yr/f and my teenage daughters are in and out at such irregular times that there is NO way to follow a regular meal plan for all …which is why yours is just perfect (and why getting it for free would solve another BIG problem!). And then there is just nothing comparable over here in Germany/Europe that I’ve so far come across … just like the online College course I dared to start stateside, hardly being able to afford that, but needing something to look forward to that will also secure the next 20yrs of my working life.. just as following your program and thus staying healthier will!
Thank you :)

I’m am confident your program works.I went to a Chinese buffet last week and was very upset with myself, but that night I received the email about the cheat day. Went to work the next night and was impressed when I got on the scale. Your program is what I need to accomplish my goals. Thanks for all the good information. Brad E Huffman!!!!

Hi. I am a 58 year old lady. I live in South Africa. I have managed to lose 14 kg (30 lbs) in the last 12 months. I am not looking forward to Christmas as I do not want to backslide on my weight loss. I still have a few more kilos of stubborn fat to lose. I’m currently at 67 kg (147 lbs). I do a lot of different types of exercise because I enjoy it and I treat myself to a cheat day once a week. I’ve been on a low GI, low fat diet and progress has been slow and steady. I’ve found your posts interesting and informative. Happy Holidays to everyone. Trish

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the information you have been sending out. This programme sounds ideal for me as I am needing to shed about 15 kilos of post ‘baby’ weight. I am 38 years old and have had 6 children in the last 10 years. Each time I have added a couple of kilos of weight. Now my youngest is one year old and the scales just aren’t shifting! I have a sweet tooth, especially when I’m tired (which is most of the time…) and I like the idea of this programme allowing for this. The cheat days certainly would be worth waiting for! I look forward to learning more about your programme. I live in New Zealand and the main diet everyone is into here is Weight Watchers or Jenny Craigs – but this sounds much more fun and rewarding!
Thanks!
Cathy

I’ve tried many diets over the past 2 yrs and it seems to be short-lived. Everytime I try to loose weight, I end up loosing about 3 pounds (which may just be water weight) and then add another 6 pounds. In the last 2 yrs, I gained 15 pounds and I’m sure it has something to do with my lifestyle. 2 weeks back i joined a gym and feel better but the weight has still not come off. After receiving some of your interesting emails, my desire to understand more about diet has increased. Just to know more about how Leptin works and how carbohydrates of all assist in the weight loss process would be very intriguing.

Now that thanksgiving and the holiday season is coming up, this information would be more useful now than ever.

I’m now 45yrs old and my weight has been a constant struggle for over 10yrs . I have always been pretty active with different sports, martial arts etc when I was younger but since having kids my focus is definitely towards their sports and goals. Although I’ve tried MANY different programs and diets to shed some weight, I haven’t found any that I could keep up. Deprivation just doesn’t cut it! I don’t mind eating healthy food but I sure can’t do that 100% of the time. And the guilt when you do eat what you shouldn’t is just a downward spiral. That’s why you’re Cheat your way thin programme is so appealing to me. Finally I see a light at the end of the tunnell. It’s the most sensible approach to weight loss I have ever come across and seems to be the type of program I could continue forever.
Thanks heaps Joel.
Mick from Australia.

Hi Joel, Since reading about your program I have looked at getting fit and getting the body that I would be happy with in a totally different light. When I was in the military I was fit and lean but since leaving some 14 yrs ago my fitness and looks have dropped some what and I am one of these people that dosen’t believe in diets. Since reading about your cheat your self thin I have been hooked and am always waiting for the next installment. I am looking forward to Tuesday the 24th to get my copy of your program and getting started. So bring it on.

How could I not be excited about transforming my body! I have lost a considerable amount of weight using an extremely low calorie diet, no cheat days allowed, but as I increased my workouts, my energy levels began to drop and my enthusiasm began to suffer.

When I hit the last plateau, I assumed that I could push through it simply by switching up my workouts. Instead of pushing through, it has been more like sliding backwards. My frustration and my determination to live and train lean and healthy led me to your website.

I am simply not willing to compromise my health and building muscle by depleting the caloric intake as radically as I did before, or use chemical methods to enhance weight loss and muscle gain. Listening to the dailies, reading about Leptin, I truly feel that I have found a critical key in unlocking my potential. Thank you Joel !

The holiday season is a difficult time for me, as much as I love it; it also marks the anniversaries of losing my Dad and my Grandfather. I need this program to keep me focused on my ultimate goal, especially during the holidays, allow me an occasional indulgence, as well as build the lean muscle that I know I am capable of attaining. I am very confident that your methods will be the guide that I want and need to achieve my goal of transforming my body and my life!

There are all kinds of reasons why I need this programme – I could write you a huge saga about my weight loss history so far. However I think there are only 2 points you need to know. Firstly I always cheat when I diet anyway , so it would be great to find a program where I could do that & still be in control. And secondly, I want to teach my kids (aged 6 & 4) that it is possible to have a healthy relationship with food- to control your weight whilst still occasionally eating the good stuff. I fear I’m a woeful example at the moment- veering between calorie obsessed control freak and all-out “I deserve the good stuff” glutton. Please help me.

I have tried all diet programs, even so called healthy ones, like weight watchers, or protein or carb diets, but even with weight watchers, which made me loose 22kg, once you stop it, you get all the weight back. I liked weight watchers because you can still eat all the food you want, as long as you respect points. Once you don’t count points anymore, all the weight comes back. That’s why I am very interested in this program, I like healthy and good tasting food anyway, but without having to count points or filling in notes, just eat to maintain my boyd fit. Thank you Joel for all the information which already helped me a lot !

It all started in High School as a desire to be on the wrestling team, but having to cut 30 lbs. to make weight after football season. I would fast for extended periods of time to make 154 lbs. After the season, I would eat and hit the weights to get back up to 185 lbs. for football. After that I worked construction which provided plenty of exercise, but little time to eat right, or to take care of myself. I got stronger, but I also got heavier, and eventually was up to 240 lbs. A co-worker and I lost a bunch of weight over a winter, and it felt good to be back where I wanted to be. Body weight workouts, and eating right got me lean, and I could fit into my HS jeans again. Then came ministry. After becoming a youth pastor, there was plenty of activity, little sleep, and lots of opportunity to eat plenty of “bad” food. But I loved it! After seeing some pictures of myself, at 250 lbs. I decided it was time to do something.

“Body for Life” was the answer. It got me back down to 208 lbs. and I felt great. Weight lifting became my stress relief, and the program taught me so much about eating right. Even then, I never got completely lean. Those “love handles” just don’t go away, and seem to get bigger when I get lazy. A church member gifted me last year with a gym membership, and that has helped me get stronger than ever before. A regular lifting program is great for stress relief also.

Bottom line? I’m very active, and love to exercise and play, but as hard as I try, I never seem to get lean again like when I wrestled. At 49 years old, I almost feel like I’m losing time to reach my goals. Your program makes sense to me, and provides an answer for why I could never sustain weight loss on “protein” diets. I want to cheat, and this program lets me do that while at the same time providing a way to get lean again. Thank you for the opportunity to try the program Joel. And if you allow me to do it for free, it would be amazing! Kevin

Well I’m just going to keep this as simple as I can?!
I’ve got some weight to lose! I’ve been trying for a year and obviously leptin hasn’t been in my favor. And now I know why! Starving myself, binging&purging from the guilt, I pretty much have a weight obsession. I also have a food obsession. Those two obsessions obviously don’t go hand in hand :(.
The holidays is where I always gain most of my weight, and then I spend the rest of the year cycling through diets to only lose nothing.
Cheatyourwaythin seems perfect. To lose weight, instead of gain it this holiday season is exactly what I need! And to enjoy the food I love without feeling guilt?! It’s perfect for me Joel! Making homemade cinnamin rolls with my little neices and being able to EAT them with them christmas morning, and ENJOYING it without feeling guilty at every bite!? It sounds like perfection!
Thanks Joel!!

The cheat your way thin program proves that traditional methods don’t work on a long term basis which many of us can confirm with our own experiences my own included. This program is inspiring in all aspects and everything that has been revealed proves that it can fit into my very busy and hectic life with all the organisation taken care of – major bonus. It excites me to think that my previous dieting concepts can be abolished and healthier me being developed as a result, in addition to still being able to enjoy food and not punish myself with strigent programs that just simply do not work. I can not wait to get started and to start living again with a brand new attitude and with great support included. What more could I ask for from Santa?

Since I’ve always been a little bit on the heavy side and my joy and appreciation for tasty food is well known, this programme would be perfect for me. Since I’ve set my mind on getting well defined and earn that sought for six pack, the diet is the cornerstone missing from my journey towards my dream body at the moment. To have a diet that would not only get me to my goal, but also allow me to benefit from it for the rest of my life without sacrificing the joy that food should be would be a blessing indeed!

Hi, I’m 45 and have been cooking for over 20 years. I have always been a “big” fellow but when I was laid off from my job a year ago I have put on 50lbs in 8months – I had some personal issues and through a bought of manic-depressive cylces put on that weight – all those pills claimed it “normal” and even though I complained to my dr, he wasn’t concerned.

I never dieted – when people would say to me “you should diet” my responce was always “what color?”

I have cycled through boughts at the gym – intense to nothing; I keep losing my motivation to excersive – and pizza and wings one night, to prime-rib the next, stews and rich sauces; I have seen 40 lbs come off and 20 go back on in the past 3 months. Then I make yogurt and live on fruit salad for a few days to try and make up for it, but I keep gaining.

Somehow I need to find the motivation to stick with something that will work for the long haul.
