I’ve been a yo-yo dieter for most of my adult life; starving myself for a few weeks, losing a stone (14 lbs) or so, going back to my bad ways and putting it back on in a few weeks.
Having recently turned 40 I’ve been reassessing a lot about my life and have decided enough is enough with regard to my health and fitness. I’ve recently started exercising more than ever in recent years and now need the perfect eating plan for me which can be a lifestyle commitment rather than the ridiculous short term weight loss/gain rollercoaster which I’ve been on for too long and which is now making me dizzy!
The fact that I can look forward to my favourite “crappy” food on cheat days in the knowledge that the long term goals are positively effected, rather than yet another “falling off the wagon” moment, would suggest that CWYT could quite possibly be the long term, life changing programme that I’ve been furiously searching for…

I have always been the fat girl of the family. I’ve been called chubby ever since I was a kid and as I grew up, it changed to, “Well, it’s just baby fat, it’ll go away eventually…” However it never did, no matter what kind of diet or workout I tried. And since I wasn’t seeing any results (and trust me, I’ve gone into these things for months at a time and seeing only a very small change and then eventually gaining the weight back), I’d give up, only to try something else again later and failing. I’m so tired of hearing, “She’d look much better if she were thinner…”, so tired of being so unfit for a lot of physical activities that I’d love to do, and so tired of having to put up with a lot of things because of the extra weight I’m carrying on my body. I’m tired of feeling like a failure and feeling like I have no willpower because I can’t make the diets and exercise programs work out. It doesn’t help that I’m short, so every extra pound seems to count more on me than on everyone else. At this point, I just need help and I just really want something that works. I’d like to think that I’m beautiful on the inside, and this time, I want my outsides to match too.

Hi Joel,
I am an overweight, single, old, broke, bored and borderline depressed female that has tried everything possible to drop this extra fat that hangs on me like a Mrs Doubtfire suit. Nothing has worked yet, so I am hoping your program that works on those stubborn hormones will work for me and finally set me free.
Inside that ugly fat suit is a spunky grandma waiting to break free. ( I wish)
I could really use your help.
I also have lots of health issues that I need to address and shedding 30kilo sure would help me live happier and longer so that I can see my little Joel ( grandson) grow up.
Thanks heaps
Lyndell

Hi Joel,

You got me on hormones. I am a personal trainer and what I am becoming inceasingly aware of is that you can diet and exercise like a crazy woman (exhibit a – me) and still not lose a pound of fat or otherwise, in fact my weight is going up and it has so much to do with hormones. If your own chemistry is imbalanced then how do you set yourself up to win. While I take some hormone suppliments, train 7 – 10 hrs pw and eat a high protein diet to help me get my balance, there is so much to do with food, how you eat, what you like to eat and eating a range of foods that have to be in the answer… You have my attention and I am keen to put your practices into place, to be trainer that I desire to be rather than a women who keeps struggling to get the results.

Here’s to our success….

Hey Joel,
I know that I could really use your program at this stage in my life. I am 16 years old and live with a family that LOVES to eat. When I saw your program I knew that it was a God send :). Instead of my family continually pigging out and growing more and more unhealthy by the day I think that you could really help us all by using your ingenious lifestyle to reverse our destinies of becoming overweight while still enjoying our fav cuisines. I, personally have started my journey of breaking the habit and becoming fit summer 2008. My first effort FAILED MISERABLY. I practically starved myself to death, losing not only fat but a huge amount of my muscle mass too. After being accused of being anorexic :( I finally started to eat normally again and gained a large amount of weight. Only 5 months ago have I started to learn the proper ways to to achieve low bodyfat. I am now at around 15% bodyfat and have gained alot of my muscle back in the process( thank God :). Sorry that you had to read my sob story but I wanted you to know my experience in trying to lose bodyfat. The bottom line is that your program can not only help me to come out of this holiday season victorious, but also to share the “wealth” with my family. :)

Thanks

Hi Joel, well, here’s another mother of 2 looking for some guidence. As I prepare the meals for the whole family, it makes it difficult for me to be strong and not make the wrong combinations in my meals while preparing their meals. Not that I am a believer in diets, rather in eating the right way and wanting my family to eat the right way along with me! Would love to get a hold of your programme and make it a way of life for my family and myself.

Thanks
Louisa

Hi J,
I’m 44 yrs old, live in the UK and I weigh 18 stones. I’ve read every single report you’ve sent and I strongly believe that this program is likely to help me achieve my goals. I used to be an athlete but as the years roled by, I became more of a couch potato. I really want to get back to shape and good health. Please choose me.

i am one of those people that need to excerise to look good in nice clothes. i am also one of those people that need to have variety and i need to see results quickly in order for me to keep going. having a lot of variey with excerises would be really good. and seeing the change that comes quickly is something i look forward to.
cheers

Hi Joel

At 245 punds and 5ft 9in I know all about cheating. I have a goal to loose 50 pounds, I can mix what I know and what you can teach me to reach that goal.

I have 5 children – I had four of them in my twenties, and the last was a surprise bonus when I was 39. She is now 13, and as well as the five children I have five grandchildren. I have always worked and have not really had time to worry too much about my weight. One of my daughters is getting married in 3 months time and I have just realised that I never quite got round to losing the baby weight from my youngest. Help!!!! I have to lose 20lbs over the holiday period – I think you are my only hope!

a) I love food. The WRONG food. And soda. (Can you say ‘caffeine-addict’?)
b) I hate diets. (see above)
c) The next person that asks me if I’m pregnant is probably going to lose a valued part of their body.

As such, any weight loss program that includes the words ‘mudcake’, ‘donuts’ and (most importantly) ‘Coke’ is obviously going to be met with great approval.

I would go so far as to say that I will name my first child after you, except that I am NOT PREGNANT…

Dear Joel,

I have been overweight almost all my life. I will be reaching 40 soon and my only wish is to stay in good health long enough to see my 3 children (now 7, 5 and 4 months) grow.

Last year, my weight peaked at nearly 275 pounds. I had no strength, no energy and was out of breath almost all the time. I realised that it was high time for me to take control of my life.

I managed to drop 55 pounds over one year but despite all my efforts training hard at the gym, doing cardio exercises and sticking to my diet plan, I’ve been stagnating at 220 pounds for the past 6 months.

Your emails have been a revelation to me and I must admit that over the last week the first thing I did as soon as I reached home was to check my mailbox for your daily tips so I would learn more about how to lose that extra 40 pounds of I am so desperate to get rid of.

From the 48 testimonials I read yesterday, I am now more than convinced that Cheat Your Way Thin program is the missing link that will help me achieve my goals and live up to my dreams.

Thanks for creating this program.

Hi Joel

I have tried a few different programs over the last two years, in that time I have lost approx 3 stone. I am soon to have a shoulder operation to hopefully replace some torn ligaments from a motorcycle accident 3 years ago. I feel that this program would help me greatly during my recovery. I know that i would not be able to exercise too much, but the dietplan I think would be beneficial.

Thanks

Hi Joel,

I need the Cheat Your Way Thin program because it’s exactly the next step that I need to take in order for my weight-loss program to go to the next level!
I’ve been following your updates and I find them very revealing. Some of the things you explained in the updates I’d already known, but the way you described it motivates me further to take it up a notch.
I’m looking forward to your Holiday Edition.

I need a program that is not a diet, but a new LIFESTYLE that is practical, and doable. Cheat Your Way Thin seems to fit this description perfectly. Any diet works while you are on it, but the problem comes when you get back to “real world” living. Like everyone else, I have tried all the diets over the years, losing and gaining weight, but have now hit my 40’s, and need to change for good! I am already eating better foods for the most part, but I need the information to tell me how much of the goodies, and when I can reward myself. Right now I do reward myself but apparently it’s too often, and not the right way or I would be losing already! I think planned snacking/overeating would definitely help me eat sensibly at other times.I have heard about so many programs lately that I am nort sure which would be the best. But I want to find one that works and stay with it for life. CYWT seems to be something that I could live with every day and get excellent results from. Thank you so much for all the other tips and tricks you have already given out in your reports. There is alot of good info in there that makes me want to learn more. May the Lord bless you!

Hi Joel,

Plain and simply I NEED the Cheat your Way Thin program TO GET OUT OF THE DIETING SPIRAL that me and my belly fat have been suffering from for years. My life has consisted of one diet after another, but always the cravings and extreme hunger pangs kick in. My determination has even got me down to goal on several occasions, only to find myself and my blubbery belly returning to their former glory and some… and within a lot less time than my original dieting journey took!

I now have a dangerously high waist measurement which needs to be reduced if I’m to live long enough to see my three kids (9, 9 and 6) make their mark in life. I love life, I love food and I love my kids, Cheat your Way Thin would enable me to continue to enjoy all three!

I have the DETERMINATION, Cheat your Way Thin has the TECHNOLOGY, so please allow your LOVELY LEPTIN LOGIC to help me to finally GET TO GOAL AND STAY THERE!

Cheers my lovely,

Penx

I have been working HARD for the last year–training, working out 4-5 times per week, etc. But the scale DOES NOT move!!! I have been watching my eating– sometimes I think I am eating too little. I am happy with the way I look and my endurance results, but would REALLY love to lost 10-15 on the scale. I don’t know why, but it really bothers me! Maybe this program is the answer…. It sounds like it makes sense to me!!!

Hi
I am 55 years old and I don’t have to lose weight. However I would like to lose body fat.
I go to the gym twice a week and go for a walk on two other days.
I prefer to eat food with as little additives as possible (not processed).
Over time my weight has come down and I have lost inches but body fat especially around tummy, hips and bum seems very hard to shift.
I still would like to continue eating the type of food I do.
Your program sounds interesting and manipulating leptin levels will most likely help my cause.

I am a sophomore at the University of Georgia studying for a degree in Exercise and Sport Science to be a personal trainer and an athletic trainer. Finding time to exercise (and even read and respond to email) amongst the demands of my schooling is difficult in and of itself. But I love to hit up the Ramsey Center and exercise, so it’s not too hard. Eating a healthy diet is much more difficult at school. I commute and am not on the meal plan. I have to pack my lunch–sometimes for days ahead–and really plan my meals. Many times, I end up fasting until evening when I get back home because I don’t want to destroy my somewhat already flailing diet with the convenience of Chic-fil-a and the local Chinese take-out on campus. With all of that said, I want to have the body that I soon will be preaching about for the remainder of my career. I want to use the methods and the knowledge in Cheat Your Way Thin to help my future clients. I want them to see that they can enjoy food AND be healthy AND look great! I want to personally find the balance between chicken and whole foods and the processed, fast foods that America has come to love. I need this knowledge so I may have more control over the body God’s given me and look more like the image He created us to mirror.

Thank you,

Kyle

Hi, U can ignore this post if you want to, nothing to do with the competition.

I just wanted to state that scrolling through all these comments, i realised that out of all these ppl, about half of them are under the age of 25! Which is quite a wonder to me. Im under 20 as well if you want to noe. I see that all the arcticles i’ve been reading abt how more and more younger ppl are trying to lose weight is true. The media sure is a very dangerous thing.

After reading through all those posts up there, i tink i should try harder on my part to lose weight. But if its possible, can you do a bit of research on whether dieting since young(14 or so onwards) will affect a person’s ‘resistance’ to diets as they grow older? I’m starting to get interested in this topic.

Anyway, good luck with choosing 5 ppl!

Joel

I live in South Africa – our Christmas holiday season is in summer! If that’s not a good enough reason to really desperately want this info, I don’t know what is.
Everyone’s planning outings to “Water World” type places – I love those, but I look like a blobb! 1.62m and 81/82 kgs (180 ponds?).

We’re going to the coast ourselves but I won’t be showing any skin on the beach!
I also have a 17-month-old little girl and I just do not have the time to eat 6 mini balanced meals (or whatever the latest best diet plans do).

Worst of all, I have a 20-year school reunion at the end of January and I weigh about 60 pounds more than I did at school AND my husband’s first wife (who was at school with us) will also be there!!

I’ve read what you’ve written about leptin, carbohydrates etc. and it all makes sense to me. I do not want to go on another diet where I am bored to death with my food options and feel deprived as all hell all the time!

Help me please
Heidi, South Africa

Hi Joel! I have just had our 2nd child 7months ago, I now weigh 245 lbs, my heaviest yet. Nothing in my closet fits, so I wear my husbands pants when I need to go out. I miss my clothes. I have always had a weight problem and a plateau problem. At this point I need to lose 100 lbs. My husband has about 50 lbs of pregnancy weight as well to lose. We have started weight lifting but we really struggle with diet, even though we make healthy choices. I need something that will work for me and help us to shed this extra baby fat. Having tried every diet out there with little long term success I feel hope with what you have revealed so far. Thanks for listening. Kim and family

I am not lazy, but extremely unorganized, not managing to control my eating behaviour without outer help. I have tried other food-schedules, which I manage to stick to for a while, but I always slip after a week or two when I really fancy something that is not included in the “eating chart”. That’s why I hope this program can help me, to learn how to include these cravings into something good, not foremost to lose that much weight, but to help me feel better, and more energized. I feel like I finally have found a program to take my human behaviour seriously instead of making me in to a starvation machine :)

Hey Joel,

I’m a 34-year-old mom of one little girl. I have always been slim till I graduated from university. I never had a regular or healthy eating schedule, but I was working out a lot. I never seemed to gain any weight no matter what or how much I ate. Come getting sick and giving up working out abruptly I gained a lot of weight.

I tried to lose it for years but I never managed to get back to my old figure. I could never stick to an eating plan and would ALWAYS forget about dieting during weekends. I did notice however than when I cheated I didn’t automatically gain weight. So I’d cheat more and then some till I would finally end back to square one. After having a baby this became even worse, and I haven’t been able to pin point that magic formula that would allow me to eat my favorite foods and still lose weight.

After reading your updates and becoming aware of the formulated and premeditated cheating technique that jump starts weight loss and even keeps it going, I became a true follower and really want to try it out. I want to have another baby, but don’t want to get pregnant with extra weight already on my back, and my limited time does not allow me to think about what I should eat or feel like I can’t enjoy the foods I crave and need for my sanity.

Joel, please help!

Hi Joel
I guess I wouldn’t stand out as a particularly needy case as I am in my 60’s. I now am getting the all too common “flabby bits” around my waist which I have tried numerous ways to remove without success. I have always been slim and would like to stay that way without adding the cuddle rolls which I find so offensive. Everybody tells me that I just have to accept “at my age” that I will put on weight and not be able to lose it as the body is not so efficient. This is a challenge to me and I would dearly love to prove everyone wrong by introducing your fabulous programme to the UK.
Kind regards
Dena
