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

I don’t have a remarkable story to sway you. I’m just desperate like a lot of the other folks who have written to you. I’m an almost 60 yr. old who all through her young life maintained a slim figure by crash dieting. It worked well for me THEN but I am paying the price now. Beginning in my mid 40s, each time I would diet, I would regain the weight as soon as I begin to live “normally” again….only now I have gained back what I had just lost PLUS 5 or 10 lbs…or maybe 15 lbs. It doesn’t take too many times of that to add 100 lbs. overall to your weight. About 5 years ago I went on my last “diet” . I lost 40 lbs. I constantly felt deprived and when the holidays rolled around I just wanted a short break from policing myself every minute. That “break” has lasted for 5 years!! And I have regained the 40 lbs plus 20 more! I had been reading and realized that my dieting had only set me up to regain the weight and kill my metabolism so I vowed I was never going to diet again. Since then I have been searching for a way to LIVE, from now on, where I could get my fat% down in a healthy range, my weight to an acceptable level and KEEP them both there.

The two years ago my husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer. At first they thought they had caught it in time but 6 months later they told us it had spread everywhere and he would only have 3 to 6 months to live. My whole focus became my husband’s situation. Trying to get him to eat was huge. He has always been thin and now at 6′ 5′ he had lost 60 lbs and weighed only 142. I know I was mindlessly eating as I struggled to find anything he could eat that might increase his calories.

Thankfully, b/c of a clinical trial, he is still living and now is able to eat and is beginning to exercise again. He can take over much of the responsibility of choosing food for himself and preparing it if necessary. But I feel the need to take care of myself even MORE. I don’t know how long the remission will last and know I need to be strong for him. I am hoping and praying that your plan will help me achieve that, even through the holidays. I know my metabolism needs a push and I’m hoping you are the one who can show me how to do that.

When I read about the “cheat your way thin diet” I felt a surge of hope. I am praying that

Hi Joel, Jean again:) Yes, I have written to you – it’s so exciting that this is all ove the world!! I’m in South Africa (just before you step off the bottom of the continent, into the Indian Ocean!) and it’s amazing to think there are people all over the world wanting the same thing – to lose fat and feel better in our bodies – and thanks to your incredidle research and information, we can do that! Thank you!

Hello Joel
I been training most of my life and now I am a diabetic, have copd and real bad knees. your articles really help me do different things and I just want to say thanks. Because of diabetic meds and above mentioned I am over weight and still trying to get the weight off. It is a every day challenge.
Thanks again and thank you for considering me for the prize of Cheat Your Way Thin Holiday Edition. I hope it will help me.

Hi,

I’ve been following your blog and emails, along with a few others who seem to share similar views, for some time now. I’m a 44 year old IT pro, with the associated long hours and stress that come with the territory!

As to why this would be perfect for me right now, I’ve been trying to eat healthy and hit the gym regularly, but have struggled with my body fat more than almost anything else! I have a MASSIVE sweet tooth, and find myself unable to resist semi-regular binges on sugar and carb-heavy “treats” that deep down I realise are too regular and too large.

Frankly, the idea of a system where I can reduce these treats by making them a planned and expected part of my diet fits in perfectly with my (partially work inspired) views – it makes scientific sense, it provides a pre-planned approach, and it’s SIMPLE (may not be EASY, but then worthwhile things seldom are).

Getting my body fat under control would mean a lot to me, as I feel as though I am not the man my wife of 20+ years deserves – and I dearly want to be that man both for her and my teenage son. Who knows – with your system’s help, perhaps I’ll be able to enjoy my life with them, and even see much of the lives of any grandchildren that come along!

Yours in hope,
D.

Well, I could say anything really. No one would know if it was true or not. And honestly, I’m quite sceptical of this ‘cheat your way thin’ idea. In my late teens I managed to lose more than 50 kilos by myself with an intermittent and realistic approach to eating and exercising, that involved walking, low fat and low sugar intake, and specific muscle toning and stretching exercises. After indulging and then putting on 28 kilos in pregnancy, I lost it all again the same way. Now, I’m in my thirties, and am studying Criminology and History at University. I am married and have a family. My husband has suffered cancer and a complete liver transplant, and my daughter has Autism. I know about busy. I know about sacrifice. I know about responsibility and commitment. My weight has crept up with the stresses of my life, and I am looking to lose 15-20 kilos. I don’t want sympathy and I’m not going to write the usual flattery. Simply, if your ‘cheat your way thin’ approach is genuine, and can help me get healthier and make my life a little easier, then give me the free copy and I will follow it to the very last detail.

I was muscular built and healthy at an average weight of 55kg (I’m 1.68m tall) when I was 14. However when i turned 15, I no longer have the time to work out and because of the stress I had from exams, and have tuned to eating badly (junk food etc).

In the past 2 years, (am 17 now) I’ ve turned from a slim build 55kg to 85kg. I tried everything, from not eating at all, to water diets, or vegetable diets, to exercising everyday- even to the extent and went to slimming centres. NONE of them worked- even gave me more cravings and got me feeling worse than ever.

That is, until i chanced upon your free copy of Cheat Your Way Thin. Now, I’ve stopped binging on unneccessary food and I only eat half of what I used to eat, and yes, they still keep me very satisfied. Although my weight hasn’t tipped (It’s only been a week+.) But i feel better and healthier.

I really wish to know more, so to go back to my healthy-self. I don’t expect to go back to 55kg, but I want to be out of the “obese” zone so I will not have to worry about the health problems. But as a student, I do not have extra income to purchase your materials. If you could help, I would really be very grateful. Thank you (:

thank you joel giving me oppotuinity to enter to win.
age of 42 never been thin all my life. dieting was a part of my life as well.
I’ve been tried a lot of different type of diet one after the other.
Even everybodyelse got some result I didn’t.
When I see this article I am still in non believer but I am willing to try new stuff
and this program I can easily stick to it.
thank again

Hi Joel, I am in my mid 60’s and have yo-yo dieted all my life … lost weight only to gain it back. Being very active, I have always been relatively healthy but recently developed very high blood pressure making me reluctant to exercise too heavily. I don’t want to go on any medication because I do believe 99% of ailments are diet related. I appreciate the possibility of being considered in the prize for the Cheat Your Way Thin Holiday Edition so I can follow your plan of combining weight management as well as good health. Thanks Joel, for making your research available.

Dear Joel,

Having read all your updates, I feel that this might the program that works for me.
Well, I find myself 40 this year, newly single and carrying an extra 60 lbs that I acquired over the course of 3 kids and a 22 year marriage. I am rediscovering the woman I am, who I had lost over the years and find that I like her. I have made some small changes in my life for the better which have resulted in a 20 lb weight loss but have reached a plateau and need something to push me over the edge. It amazes me how losing that 20 pounds affected my outlook, my enthusiasm for life and my energy levels. I can only imagine what getting rid of the rest would do for me.
I would like to make that thought a reality and with your help and the Cheat Your Way Thin Holiday Edition, I will be able to start the new year well on my way to the healthy, beautiful, slim woman who has been hiding behind the excess weight.

I’ve tried the counting calories, no fat, counting points, no carb and other really restrictive diets – with the same disappointing results. While I have the will-power and get results for awhile – I can’t stick to it for long before I give in! I love real food – none of that cardboard tasting fat-free sodium loaded “diet” food for me please! The idea that I could lose weight by eating all those wonderful foods that surround us during the holidays…sign me up!! I could completely relate to the giving in when offered amazing food. Then feeling like I’ve failed and trying to find the strength and will power again to continue the next day. The holidays have always been one of self-indulgence or “cheating” on my diet – since I gained weight. I look forward to losing weight with cheat my way thin as this holiday season starts.

I am 46 years old and have been trying to lose weight for about three years now. When I started I weighed 325 lbs. In three years i have only lost about 50lbs. I have done alot of yo yo weight loss lately. It gets really frustrating going up and down with same 10 lbs for months at a time. I have a lot of pain in my hips and legs that I am sure as a lot to do with being so overweight. Your cheat your way thin program sounds like something I could do and can finally be a success at. Your info has inspired me and I have learned alot from your updates.

Hi Joel and team, I’ve downloaded your file, the Holiday Fat Loss Black Book and Fat Loss Secrets Exposed, and I know you know what you are writing, and telling us is gonna work. Your research is the far best i’ve seen, they all make sense. You are doing all of us a great favor on how to be a better person here. So now I’m trying my luck to get your free copy of Cheat Your Way Thin!

Thank you so much!

Hi Joel, I guess the main reason I need some help is because I have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds for over a year. It use to be so easy for me to lose weight but now I am about to turn 59 (in 2 weeks) and I can’t budge any thing! One probable cause is I have Multiple Sclerosis and had major 10 hr. back surgery plus 8 hr. neck surgery and I can’t walk or run or do aeorobics for hours like I used to. I’m limited to a walker and can’t even touch my toes (barely can reach my knees). I’ve tried EVERY goofy diet published and really need some sound advice to get these ugly pounds off before they turn in to MORE. Thanks!

I am 57, single, and have recently retired with a neck injury.
I have joined a gym and received a program tailored to my lifting limitations. I find I love going to the gym. But I’m still not losing that fat layer.

I have been on many diets in my life and even the most successful of them doesn’t work all that well. I still struggle to follow the guidelines and regularly fall off the wagon, with all the attendant guilt and sense of failure. And I still can’t control my weight.

Your updates explain a good reason for this so called failure and a solution to it that sounds doable and liveable and promises control that works.

I have noticed many times when I have been following diet guidelines that I just want to eat and eat and eat. The next day I feel stuffed and tired. I have also noticed times when I have a glorious pigout and feel so satisfied I don’t want to eat any more. The next day I find I have suffered no ill effects, in fact I feel fine, energetic and motivated. These “anomalies” have made no sense until now.

I want to feel I’m working with my body’s genius systems, not fighting against them. I’d never heard of Leptin before I read your emails and your updates. It sounds like it’s the missing piece of the puzzle. I want a strategy that works, and I’m ready for it now.

Like that this PROGRAM can possibly get my nutrition component consistant & sensible once & for all. Ready to break old patterns of restriction, then over consumption of the wrong foods – if I can see how to balance out what I eat and change my thoughts about it then I may just finally get off that 10lbs that bugging me.

Your system is the perfect system for this point in my life because my wife really needs it! Yes, I admit I am not interested in the system for myself. She, on the other hand, has a huge problem with eating the right foods and staying away from the bad ones. A system like yours where she can continue to enjoy those things on a limited basis is just the kind of dieting system she needs to get her mind set on the right track.
She’ll never go out on a limb and get it for herself, so it’s up to me to find something that will work for her. Your system is the first thing that seems to fit the bill, unlike so many fad diets I’ve perused. I would certainly be a happy camper to see the enjoyment and self-confidence in her by starting to win the weight battle and making herself feel better physically at the same time.

I’m a 67 year old mother of three daughters in their mid to late 30’s who have collectively given me 7 precious grandchildren ranging from 2 to 13. More than anything I want to see those children mature into young adults. However, I want a quality of life that will allow me to participate in their lives and not just observe from the sidelines. I am doing all I know to do to lower my high blood pressure with nutrition and not drugs. When I start to loose hope I think of my daughters and their children and know I can do better to be the role model they deserve. Every day this past week, I looked forward to your updates. Your program seems just far enough out of the traditional “diet box” to help me successfully loose the last 60 plus pounds. My engineering nature wants to know everything possible before starting something new. I have no more time to waste. Getting started on your program Tuesday will be the best birthday present I could give my oldest daughter. Here’s to my success and that of everyone else smart enough to join you on a quest for a healthier and happy life with “Cheat Your Way Thin”.

Hi Joel, I have to loose weight I am 4’10 157lbs. I have recently had to change poisons in my job because of arthritis in my knees and fingers and I have asthma. I hope losing weight will help. Plus my mother and dad both are diabetic. So learning to eat healthy is a must. I am on a low cal. diet now. I had the same thing happen to me on this diet. I ate my grilled chicken salad for supper one night while my husband ate pizza he left two pieces and I ate them after my salad. Knew I messed up so had a candy bar and a small coke two. Was worried on weight in day and loss 1/2lb. that week after being in a plateau for two weeks. I would love to try your program and have more cheat days.

Hi Joel

I have been reading your emails with great interest, at first I thought you were just another fad hidden low calorie diet plan (there are many of them out there) but I have read a few reviews and your plan seems to genuinely work.

Through the years I have tried various diets, eating plans and exercise programs but I usually fail due to a lack of interest and commitment. Recently my doctor told me I have high cholesterol (and I’m only 27) and a high body fat although I don’t initially seem hugely overweight. Something needs to be done.

Being in the medical field, I understand that any program needs to be sustainable, healthy and realistic. My body is the only one I have and I want to look after it. My friend (who has recently had a baby) and I are very keen to try something where we can still eat the food we enjoy and look the best we can without damaging starvation diets which I know don’t work.

Beach season is coming up soon here in the Southern Hemisphere, I would love to don a bikini with confidence, something I have never done!

A glimpse into the hatred and emotional despair I feel being 268 pounds, 5’5” tall, and only 20 years old, with a poem:

curves are a sin
starve off this fat
undeserving of food
eyes glued to scale
will i ever feel perfect
negative calories
negative soul
plus size jeans
inhibiting plus size dreams
i will never be perfect
i will never be good enough
for myself –
i reach my arms to the sky
roots spiral down, down, down
my veins pump persistence
strong winds may slow me down
but i will never fall
to the ground
in defeat — NEVER
giving up
like a flower, i will bloom
i revel in the someday
the beauty of soon
living day to day
standing firm
i gain hope from the sun
that rises every tomorrow

your program could be the someday that I need to finally be. . . happy.

Hi, I am 31 and am currently going back to school to become a Life Coach and a Registered Professional Counsellor! I’ve struggled with my weight for about 10 years now (In a space of about 7 years I lost 27 people in my life, including the man I thought I was going to marry!) I went through a mental/nervous breakdown and depression where I gained a lot!! I worked very hard to try and get the weight off!! I remember when I reached the 200 mark, I was horrified!! I had never been so heavy in my life!! I got so discouraged that I actually gained another 20lbs and then I decided to take matters into my own hands and I lost about 40lbs, (180) but then life happened and I only kept it off for about half a year and slowly started gaining till I reached 250lbs. I was so discouraged!! I have done a lot of internal healing as I’m getting my counselling degree and for the first time in my life I actually am in love with me/my body and happy with who I am, AND now I’d love to learn how to LET GO of the weight that is hindering me from being completely whole and healthy!! So when I read your black book, I felt encouraged, FINALLY there was some HOPE!! I could do something for life and actually succeed!! :) THANKS for giving me and others hope once again!!!!!

Greetings Joel from Vancouver Canada.
My Dr keeps telling me I NEED to lose weight…..like I didn’t know that already!!
I have tried for many yrs to lose unwanted fat on different areas of my body. I HATE looking at myself in any mirrors cos I don’t like what I see.
Just reading your newsletters and reading through your “Cheat your way thin” program has given me a great boost and confidence that I BELIEVE your program WILL work. I DO have will power and feel very very motivated now after reading through your program that I downloaded. I’m excited to start and in 3 mths when I see my Dr I KNOW my blood work is going to show my cholesterol, my blood pressure and my unstable thyroid results will have dropped considerably. Why? Because I have such confidence in your program “Cheat your way thin” and can’t wait to get my hands, my head and my determination to receiving one of your five editions of your Holiday Edition.Thanks Joel

From personal experience and not reading your free book yet, I know there is no way to really cheat your way thin. It takes a complete change in lifestyle which includes proper nutrition and exercise, all with a doctors note of approval beforehand.
I will read the free gift you gave to me, but I just wanted to say there is no such thing as dieting, because when you stop dieting, the weight comes back, plus a little more. It is all about a change in the way a person thinks and lives.
