Win A FREE Copy of Cheat Your Way Thin!

Cheat Your Way Thin would be a the best tool for fat loss for me. I am over weight and have been trying to lose fat for as a long as I can remember. The dieting works, but I lose so much strength and I can’t seem to stay on my diet because of all the food I miss so much that aren’t “diet food.” It has been tough for me throughout the years and I would love to be on a diet and look good while eating food that I enjoy. Thank you for this opportunity for a free issue it would mean the world to me to have this and I would definitely benefit from this.

Joel,

I have been training for many years and seem to have that part reasonably under control. When it comes to eating things go off the rail and it stops real good progress on how my body looks.
My heads messed up because of guilt, boredom and frustration over what I can eat and when I can eat it. Yes I go real strict and yes weight comes off but longer term there is no real significant change.
Anything that can clear my head and set me straight would be appreciated. If I am lucky enough and deserving enough to win a free program that would be great.

All the best,
David.

Joel, I am 51 and have gained a great deal of weight from a knee injury. This was 3 years ago. I started bicycling and didn’t loose weight. Then almost a year ago started weight training. I actually gained about 5 lbs although I must have lost 20 lbs in fat too. I now run 5 miles on the days I don’t weight train- I see a trainer once a week and am now in excellent fitness- YET I am still FAT! I have a belly and love handles- I have tried everything- no carbs, high protein, and do not exceed 1800 calories- I am about to give up- if your plan does not work nothing will except starvation.

Hi,

I think that this program will be perfect for me because I am a compulsive over eater. If there is something I like, I eat it until its gone and then I go for the next thing that I crave. If I am at home, I am eating non stop. It’s crazy and has been getting worse. I need a program that tells me how much I should be eating and what types of foods I should be eating together and what days.

My doctor has put me on some new medication affecting my hormones and since then I have been gaining a lot of weight and eating a lot more. I even wake up at night to eat. I think that if I had a program to follow I would be able to get results because I am a very self-determined person when I want to be. I really do want to eat well and live healthily. I have been trying on my own, but find myself still hungry and then eating whatever I can find anyways.

I am also very active already, I cycle to work, do cardio, weight lifting, kickboxing, salsa dance, hot yoga, and I even teach a fitness class. I am actually in really good shape, but have been gaining weight and feeling like I have no control over it.

Please help me! I think your plan can as there are so many foods I love and don’t think I could cut out completely. Your plan is great, allowing people to enjoy the things they love while still loosing weight. :)

I really appreciate your consideration,

AK

I try fairly hard to stay away from carbohydrates–but they taste too good!!! And they’re everywhere, and everyone “forces” them on you.

Hi,
I’ve noticed how sometimes after a pizza-binge, my weight drops for a few days. When I’m very careful what I eat, I just stay the same weight after dropping a kilo or two. I have a young family and have no time for intensive training but I want to be in the best possible shape I can to be a good father and husband to my family.
I don’t want to be couch poptato dad who is too big, or too ill, to play with my kid.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Joel,

I am a teacher and for the past few months I have been sharing with many people aspects of fitness I have been learning. I have gotten really passionate about this because I know people are fed a lot of bad information about fitness, even my students! Everyday I am surrounded by people who want to lose weight but never make any real process and are just miserable. I am also passionate about helping others and seeing transformations. With your book I know that I can make even better changes to my eating/fitness lifestyle, but more importantly share this information with people around me and see their lives change as well. I will be excited to share aspects of your book that fit with content standards we will be covering in class. (I teach science) Thank you for this opportunity to change my lifestyle as well as those around me, for good!

Looking forward to seeing more of the cheat your way thin. from what I have seen looks like this would help me knock of the extra pounds that I have gained over the last several years.

I am hoping that this may, in fact, be the way that will finally do it for me! I am a 47 year-old woman who, in the last couple of years has put on an extra 30 pounds. I know that a lot of it was caused by stress, but I now find myself in the position of not being able to drop the excess, no matter what I do.

I eat very well, am not afraid of a good workout, and still the scale refuses to budge more than a pound or two. I recently had very minor success with a very popular fitness nutritionist’s latest offering. (I won’t name any names, because I think very highly of the man, and his work.)

I was just a bit discouraged to find that although most of the participants in the program were losing 15 or more pounds in a VERY short period of time (less than a month) I could only manage to drop 4.

I think that if you were to offer me one of the free copies of Cheat Your Way Thin, I might be able to provide another good testimonial for you, targeting the over-40 women who are struggling like I am.

Thanks for the opportunity to apply for this.

This is the perfect program for me….Because I’ve tried everything! I run, I cycle, I plan badminton, I go to the gym, I try all the food plans and I’m still overweight! I read everything I can get my hands on, I know it all, but I’m still overweight! I’ve followed the rules and I’m still overweight….. so I want to cheat my way thin!!

After reading through the updates, this seems like the perfect healthy diet. I’ve tried the low carb diets, and even no carb diets. They work for a while, but you lose muscle along with the fat and you can’t stay on these diets long term. I believe the cheat your way thin program is for people who want a long term diet to lose fat while gaining or maintaining muscle mass. I’m that type of person and this is exactly what I need to jump start my new healthy lifestyle. Thank you for creating this great program!

Hi Joel
I think that your program would be great for me as I have a very hard time sticking to a diet for any length of time. Usually after about 2 weeks I start eating things that I know I shouldn’t and it just goes from bad to worse. I think that if I could eat some “cheat” meals this would take care of my carvings and I would be able to eat healthy most of the time. I work out usually 5 to 6 times per week so I don’t have a problem with that just with the food and as we all know losing weight just doesn’t work with just exercise.
Thanks!
Lori

This will hopefully give me the strength to stop cheating on a daily basis, I have a not bad diet but can’t stop the sweet cravings after eating my ‘main’ meals, having the resources at my fingertips to ensure my meals are as sound as they should be (which they obviously aren’t or I wouldn’t be here) and hopefully give me ideas and options for way out of my cheating nightmares, and better choices, will help me and my family.

Hi Joel,

I am currently studying law, and law occupies a majority portion of my time. It is not only stressful, but it also accelerates weight gain and provides me with very limited time to work out. If there where a method to burn fat or to “cheat my way through” while studying hard and staying lean and healthy, I would gladly accept it with open arms.

I’ve been following your cases and emails, and for some reason, eating high carb foods weekly seems almost too good to be true. I already tried a few programs to lose fat, but I honestly can’t wait to benefit from your Cheat program and lose the fat that has haunted me for over 18 years (and ongoing..).

in the hopes of winning!

Hi Joel,

Well I’ve struggled with my weight since I had my first child almost 11 years ago, and I’ve yo-yo’d up and down ever since. From watching your videos and reading about Cheat Your Way Thin, I think I’ve finally found what I’m looking for! In the past I’ve always been very much a perfectionist, feeling I’ve “failed” when I slip up on my diet, which usually leads me into a spiral of bad eating that I have to fight to get out of! I need to learn how to eat to lose weight, but also be able to enjoy the treats that I love to eat but usually make me feel guilty afterwards!
Thanks for producing this program!
Regards
Fiona

Joel,
I think this would be the perfect plan for me and my children. I am active duty army and always on the go. I have little time for proper planning. I love to bodybuild/lift weights and go the gym daily, yet after having kids including c-section I just can’t get rid of the weight. I’ve tried all the diets and supplements out there and continue to fail due to all the restrictions, my slow metabolism, lack of will, and love of food. I know that we could succeed knowing that we will get a break from restriction and have the foods we so love. I have 2 teenagers that I would love to be able to help lose weight to increase their self esteem and confidence. Thanks for all your help and hope,
Lyea

I’ve weighed 110kg approx. two months ago and ever since Lent I’ve fasted and ate only one full meal a day. For lunch and dinner I was taking meal replacements drinks. With exercise I manage to lose 15kgs in approx 35 days. However since then I’ve hit some sort of plateau and cannot seem to lose any more. I’m hoping with your program I’ll manage to overcome this difficulty and besides if successful I will definitely blog about it!

cheers mate!

I am a mother of 6, the last two children are a set of twins. Their pregnancy and birth wrecked my physically. They are 8 years old and highly active but mommy (me) is finding it hard to keep up with them. Over the past 8 years the pounds have crept up and I am now 50 pounds overweight with a bmi of 30>. I need help…I have tried diet pills, yoyo diets and exercise which leave me hungrier than ever. Your plan sounds promising but as you can see I really can’t afford to purchase a copy as I am raising a large family. Please help.
Growing by the day,
EM

hi joel. i’d really like to try Cheat Your Way Thin because i’m at a frustrating point at the moment. i have a really healthy diet and i train 5-6 days a week. despite that i still have this last bit of fat on my stomach that refuses to budge and after reading your stuff i’m starting to think it has something to do with the leptin and its effect on my metabolism. i’d really love to try your program and see if that’s the missing piece. thanks!

the tools to help me stop cheating on a daily basis and make my main meal choices healthy and wiser would be an invaluable asset for me and my family. I think I am doing ok, but the results aren’t quiet adding up :-), Knowing what options will work properly for my body would be great.

I’ve tried every “diet” since the early 70′s and while I did lose weight, it always came back, plus more, enough to finally make me a type 2 diabetic. I can see now that losing fat can reduce the diabetic side effects and lessen the amount of medications I now have to take, AND reduce my chances of further diabetic complications. The principals I’ve learned from your updates are in some cases astounding and I look forward to getting on your program. Thanks!

Joel,
The reason why I’m excited to try your program is for the following reasons:
–I have been a binge eater, often occurring after restricted diets which drove my metabolism into the ground, drove me psychologically crazy (not to mention drove me to have this irrational fear of hunger), and simply made dieting unpleasant and unnecessarily more difficult than it needed to be.
–As a researcher, I am all about research-based nutrition and diet. Your diet makes so much sense in so many ways, and I feel that with your program, I could succeed and overcome my yo-yo dieting, restrictive and “tortuous” dieting programs for good. The more I read about it, the more I realized that your tool is the tool that will help me overcome what the other programs couldn’t. I’m so excited to try it!
-Krista.

Cheat Your Way Thin is the next obivious step in making progress.
Through structured training, great information from you Joel, and having the guts to say, “I don’t know it all and need some help in the eating department.”

By using Cheat Your Way Thin, that one missing ingredient to success will finally be filled. But nothing works without having the guts to Do It! Which is exactly what I’m ready to do. Besides, the thought of cheating while attaining a thinner – healther body is ideally the best of two worlds.

Hey Joel,

Thanks for giving us the chance to win a copy of your program! I believe yours is the one for me because I need to learn how to eat!

I’ve been doing Rob Poulos’ 10 week summer program (which I’m really enjoying) and I believe I eat healthy most of the time. I also exercised regularly before that and ate “well” too (no soda, little processed food, lots of veggies and protein etc… so although I feel healthy and fit, I haven’t actually lost any inches!

I believe the problem must lie in my eating habits because the weight I lift has been steadily progressing. I cannot seem to budge the last 3 inches around my girlie middle! (you know, waist to bum) and would love to do so preferably without losing my bust in the process!

Plus, I’m turning 40 in July and wouldn’t it be fabulous if I looked sensational and my parents didn’t have a reason to hassle me about my weight?!

Cheers dude,
Liese

your program will be good for me because im a fat bastard and it will work, simple.

Hi Joel,
I have tried a lot of diets and nutrition programs over the last 5 years but none have worked. Being an Indian and a vegetarian it is very difficult to follow them. Also I work full time, so don’t have the time to plan and cook my meals in advance. But the biggest reason is that I own 3 restaurants and I have to continuously try the food being made and try out the new recipes that my chefs turn out. So in a way I am already cheating. Your program sounds just right as it says that it shall teach me to cheat in a scientific manner so that I do not abuse my body and at the same time become healthier.
Thanks!
PPuri

hi joel,
i am from india, and i have struggled with weight issues (size issues too!!) since i was a teenager. i have tried to lose weight innumerable times, including three VERY SERIOUS attempts, where i managed to lose ten kilos (about 18-19 pounds) by literally STARVING myself. the weight just came right back after i started eating normally….it was like holding my breath!! once you start breathing again, you overdo it madly!!
your program promises a method that even someone like me with zero willpower can follow. for the life of me, i cannot resist my favourite junk foods and i go into a shame spiral when i eat them. cheat your way thin holds out hope that i can eat these foods and still manage to lose weight…

I have tried various weightloss programs in the past. I was pretty successful until after my last son was born. I went to the gym and put on ten pounds after three months on faithful exercising. I have counted calories for so many years. I was ready to give up. As a matter of fact I did give up. Then I told myself it is not an option. No matter how long it takes. So I became interested in this program. Will it work for me too?

This program is perfect for me because my friends and family have always seen me an inspiration. When I want something, I get it. I go for it wholeheartedly. However, I have not been able to maintain this same level of success in my dieting life. I continually fail, and as a result, my self-esteem has plummeted severely. It has also affected my ability to motivate and inspire my friends and family. How can I preach something when I have failed at it so frequently? With this program, I see myself succeeding because I can finally take away the guilt of cheating. I can relax from the all-or-nothing approach. And I can show others that losing weight is possible without hating life and taking away the joy of food. I want to use my success with this program (which I KNOW I will have) to teach others how to live a healthy, productive, diet-free lifestyle. I want to pave the way.

It looks like a “real life” program without fancy food and it has the magical word “cheat” in the title. Everybody loves to cheat and so do I, so I think this is THE PROGRAM for all of us

Hey Joel,

Without Cheat Your Way Thin, I honestly don’t think I will be able to attain my fitness goals. I have been trying to transform my body into the one I’ve always dreamed of for the past year with minimal success. While I know that I’ve definitely built muscle, I can’t seem to rid myself of that stubborn layer of fat that just doesn’t want to leave!

I’ve literally tried every type of program you could think of, even resorting to personal training, but nothing has turbo charged my fat loss the way I want it to do so. I know it’s because of my nutrition, namely my sweet tooth, but all the nutritional programs I’ve tried just don’t cut it. Regardless of how healthy I eat, my fat loss always stops and then I fall off the bandwagon and give into my cravings. I want to learn about how to strategically cheat so that I don’t continue to repeat the same path to failure over and over again. With this tool, I know that I can achieve the body I’ve always wanted.

Hi Joel,

I think this program would suit me because I have been training very hard for the past 6 months and recently only joined a fitness competition which I can have access to body fat analysis every month. We are currently on the 3rd month of the contest but I’m having challenges in getting bigger and leaner. Scenario is like this, body fat % month 1 = 16%, month 2 = 17% and month 3 = 18%!! and my weight remains the same at 150 pounds!! Its getting really frustrating until I read about your past 6 updates which gave me a whole new perspective on dieting! I really hope that I can get the chance to get this program as I really want this body transformation and higher chances in the competition.

Thanks n Regards,
Terry

I know that this program is the answer to what I’ve been searching for all my life. Since childhood our eating habits at home were not the healthiest of all. Exercise was limited to carrying your book case to school and back, thus lying ground to an unhealthy overweight person who since leaving the house is struggling with my weight.
I’ve tried every diet in the book, you name it, I’ve tried it. Yes, losing weight did not come naturally. But keeping it off and feeling better about it never came with the package either.
Thank goodness for technology and the Internet. Then in a desperate attempt to search for some program that might work and that I could stick to in such a manner that it can become a lifestyle, I’ve stumbled upon Cheat your way thin. WOW! Everything that I read and listen to over the video feeds just points to the fact that this is a practical, workable and sustainable program, no matter where in the world you are. Yes, economics is playing a big part currently and I so wish that I could afford to buy the program. But alas, unless I’m one of the lucky ones to win it, I will not be able to buy it.
So Joel, I do hold thumbs that I will be one of the lucky ones! Thanks for all your inspiration!

Hi Joel-

I have been training seriously for about 6 years now and have gotten great results by following strict diets. However, recently I have been unable to stay as lean no matter how clean my diet is an no matter how much I stress over it. It is to the point where I feel like throwing up my hands and just eating anything and everything since it doesn’t seem to matter! I never do, or not for more than a meal, since I do care a lot about all the work I put into my body. This is why I feel cheat your way thin would be PERFECT. I need a mental break, but I need to know I’m still doing something good for my body.

Hi Joel,
For the last 2 years I have been serious about losing weight. Initially through Body For Life I lose 30lbs…then platueaued. I’ve tried everything under the sun. The only thing I’m losing is money. I have tracked my weight religiously for 8 months and it looks like a EKG…one blip after another followed by nothing…your system makes sense to me, this week not only have the wheels fallen off my wagon, but I think it broke!! I’ve been pigging out and seeing the scale go down..I don’t get it!! Yet when I am strict with my nutrition that scale doesnt budge an once! At 38 years old and overweight, I’ve become a Group Fitness Instructor!! I dont let my weight stop me, and hope I inspire people to be healthy despite their weight, but would love to have 30 lbs off for my daughters highschool graduation, and my 20 year high school reunion this year. Help, I’m running out of time and patience! Haning teenage daughters I’m sure I can teach them ways of staying healthy and fit.

I look forward to hearing from you!! My fingers and everything else I can crossed…including my eyes, hurry up, it hurts!!
Mardeanna

This program is perfect for right now because everything else . Being a Junior in High School, trying to keep up on a diet and living in the gym is not ideal because I want to keep up with my studies as best as I can. I’ve actually seen some of grades slip just because I tried to stay too dedicated to getting to the gym 5 times a week and distancing myself from my mother’s cooking! Having this program will keep me less stressed about my life style and I can enjoy the great food my mother makes for me without declining her effort to make food for me!

I still have my fat pouch hanging from my belly that i’ve been fighting for 2 years and all my friends are ripped athletes which is kind of diminishing. I simply cannot continue letting my mom’s food go to waste nor be left out of my friends’ in-and-out hangouts during the weekends and as Socrates says, “a good state of mind creates stability of the soul” and thats what I’m mostly aiming for! With a good state of mind or rather being confident with myself, I won’t have all the depression of declining grades and constant guilt from cheating every once in a while. I truly believe you are the solution to my deprivation!

Thank you for considering me!
-Jeremiah

I’ve been on many diets. Weight Watchers, South Beach, TNT, Atkins, Abs. These are all termed as “lifestyles”, not diets. But real life has a way of stepping in and interfering with your plans even when you have the best intentions.

I have experienced first-hand what happens when leptin levels drop, and never knew what the problem was. Instead of having a cheat meat or day, it always turned into a cheat week. It’s so easy to let the bad habits snowball with no strategy. I get lost , frustrated, and angry until I give up. Eventually, I re-group and jump back into the next thing.

Cheat Your Way Thin looks like what I need to reach my goals in “real-life.” With strategies and tactics to keep my head in the right place, my body moving in the right direction, AND let me live my life at the same time!

SEX!! Okay now that I have your attention amongst all these replies (insert cliche groan here) I just wanted to say that your program looks like waaaay more fun that the v-diet, so this is just in time for me as I’m going to embark on a leaning out phase in 3 weeks. I can stick to any diet just fine (and have done so in the past) so I’m not in this for the cheating, but rather for seeing it work for myself. I’m all for anything that flies in the face of conventional wisdom and is backed by absolute scientific research to boot. With beginning a new job next week and my fiance being unemployed (no, I’m not resorting to whinging about finances, I can afford to pay whatever it costs thank you very much!) things are pretty stressful around here, and your program sounds perfect!!
Cheers, Vicki

I think this would be the ideal program for me because it seems to follow the natural progression of the body. By that I mean that the body and mind when deprived of something, wants it more, and it will do whatever it takes to get it. including cheating. By using your methods and tricking the body and mind to think that everything is ok and it can keep on getting thin, it is more likely to respond. I knew there was a better way to become thin other than diet alone as diets don’t work but I wasn’t sure of the mechanics as your system I’m sure will show me. Also your system seems more practical and realistic for a busy person like to follow rather than a restricted time consuming diet. My busy schedule doesn’t allow time to be making 3 different meals a day 7 days a week like most diets suggest. This I find impractical and unrealistic. Most people usually eat whatever they have in the fridge, especially busy ones. Your system seems to take care of that issue and to be able to get your system for free would be a great asset.

Joel,
Your program is exactly what I’ve been looking for to finsh off my weight loss endeavor and to maintain that weight. I am 51 years old and have spent the last year losing 56 pounds using Joey Atlas bodyweight exercise DVD’s and a 5 times a day eating plan to help boost my slowing metabolism. The problem is that I seem to be stuck and I still have aproximately 5 more pounds to lose and alot of toning left to do. I’ve also tried to alter my eating plan while on vacations and always end up gaining weight. I actually think I lost the same 10 pounds multiple times that way. So, I am very concerned I’m not going to be able to maintain my weight when I try to resume a more flexible eating plan. I’m very excited to learn how to work the carbs back into my diet. So, I would very much like to try your “Cheat to Win” eating plan.

Thank you for all your hard work and for this unique opportunity,
Patty

Add on: and I think my body needs it – it might just not be responding to strictness anymore!

I have been on a diet for the last 12 years and im still gaining weight, thats right 12 years. I cant believe it either. I am now 106 kg and to be honest this month i got down to 99kg but now im right back to where i began. I am a competative mixed martial arts fighter, I train everyday 2 sometime 3 times a day. I go to yoga, I go for runs and I play rugby all this outside of my mma training. I have also been lifting wieghts since I was 14 years old. I watch what i eat to no avail. I think this program would be good for me because it will teach me knew habits and will make my goal of 85kgs attainable. And if thats the case then I would be able to fight at a higher level then i do know. The guys im competeting against now are just way to big for me and my natural wight is or should be 85kg. I will be posting before and after photos when i achieve this goal with your help. so either I get it for free or I pay, all i know is i will stick to it and if it works i will be your poster boy for success.

I need this information because I NEED to lose weight. Since being diagnosed with diabetes in 2008, I have tried every kind of diet and cannot lose weight. I have hit a wall and my weight will not budge. I really want to get the weight off so that none of the threatened issues like heart disease, blindness, amputations will have an opportunity to wreak more havoc in my life. It is my desire to control my blood sugar with diet and exercise, but my weight makes it difficult to exercise as consistently as I need to. To top all of this off, I lost my job in March of 2009 and do not have the income to purchase the kit next week. So, I would really love to have some GOOD news in my life and hear that I have won a Cheat Your Way Thin kit.

I never had a problem with my weight until I started having back problems back in 1996, resulting in years of pain and many surgeries. Due to the fact that I also suffered years of “womens” problems made it impossible for me to go to a gym regularly which was what I needed to do in order to help overcome my ongoing spinal problems. 2.5 years ago I had a hysterectomy which solved one problem, closely following by more spinal issues requiring yet another operation. Over those years I had got quite overweight and had no muscle tone to speak of. Then I was able to take myself in hand, eat the right foods and go to the gym regularly – 4-5x/week which got me right where I needed to be. Then my father got really ill and I had to watch him die over a period of months – the incredible grief took away all my motivation and I’m right back to where I started. I’m still struggling to regain my motivation, I’ve gained weight and my back is once again suffering. I desperately need to lose about 14 lbs and get my muscles and strength back. I would love to try your program and I think “winning” something might give me the impetus I need to get back on track. Thanks for giving me an opportunity that might give me back my life.

Why do I need this? That’s easy…if it works for me, i’ll help make you rich!! I will yell ‘Cheat Yourself Thin’ from the mountain tops! You’ll have all sorts of women wanting to know what i’ve done.
You’ve heard this a million times…’I've tried everything!’ well, it’s true, so if this worked for me…well it would be a miracle. I also like the fact that there is science behind what your saying.
So, help me be ‘hot’ again PLEASE!!!!
Thanks for all the work you’ve done.
Trish

Joel,

I can’t begin to tell you how many programs I’ve tried with some success to no success. I did the body for life challenge 3 times and actually lost about 55 pounds each time, but eventually gained it all back each time. I find it difficult to follow the strict diet programs on an on-going basis. As they called it, “Body for lifestyle”. To follow that lifestyle, I think I’d need to hire a full time cook to prepare my meals, because it’s so demanding on my time to do so, let alone to follow the rigorous workout plans. After reading about your program, I’m hoping this is the solution to my problem. It almost sounds too good to be true, but if it works, I’ll be the happiest man alive knowing that I CAN overcome my weight problem and hopefully keep it off this time. I’m really looking forward to your program. I only wished it came out sooner, because I needed it yesterday. Thanks again.

Mike

Joel. I used an old version of your cheat diet in the past with great success for physique and both fitness. If you have perfected the diet further than I want to give the best shot I can. Tomorrow I get married; your recommendations have got me into great shape for the day. It’s been a pleasure to see the weight drop off and I feel confident that I’ll look the best I’ve ever been. In July we are emigrating to Sunny San Diego from cold England. We need the info to get into even better shape for the sunny weather and outdoor lifestyle. I’ll also be refereeing rugby on the American circuit and want to show them how fit and lean a ref should be by using the principles outlined in the diet. Let’s see how low we can go!

Hi Joel,
I would regard myself as fit and healthy (average 12% body fat), but I would like to shed those extra kilos of fat, get down to sub 10% body fat. I have been working on it for at least 10 years but have yet to be able to achieve it. My wife on the other hand has not been so active in her life and she finds it difficult to stay disciplined to my life style. The calorie restrictive diets I put her on contributes to her unhappiness. After all the complaining, she does try to make the effort, but it does not last long. After 1 or 2 weeks of the sacrifice and hard work at the gym she is devastated when the scales do not reflect the effort she put in. It seems like a vicious cycle. I need this program you have devised more for my wife than for me (I would benefit from it too of course). Life is too short; I want my wife to share this life with me Happy (with her body image) and Healthy. I am hoping that this information will change our lives forever.
Thanks
Kevin

I’m hoping the program can help me. I eat out every meal so need a way to select better meals. I’ve tried a few diets but could never stick to them for any length of time. Since the meal selection is limited eating out I expect it to be a challenge to find meals to fit the diet.

I gave birth to my second son almost six months ago. I gained 45 pounds during the pregnancy. About a week after my delivery, I started exercising and eating a healthy strict diet. When my son was 4 months old, I had lost 40 of the 45 pounds I gained during pregnancy. Now, no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get that last 5 pounds off! I exercise daily, eat a strict diet(no junk food), and yet the scale won’t budge. Your program is exactly what I need to get that “ripped” look I had before I got pregnant. HELP!!

Hi Joel, I exercise regularly using craig Ballantynes Turbulence Training. Great program but he says you can’t out exercise a bad diet. That is true. The more I try to diet and be “good” the more I fail as I so long for the nice not so good for you foods and I often don’t get back on track. So your program caught my eye. I am certainly not a dieter, and don’t want another diet but a program that incorporates my need for dessert and pizza etc.. on a intermittent basis and a way of nourishing my body with great healthy food as well. So thanks for the heads up your videos and information are a light for me in what seems at times a never ending dark tunnel. Linda Hawker

Hi Joel,
I think that your program would be perfect for me. Over the last few months i’ve been doing some research on eating healthier and applying them with my execise routine. The only thing is i’ve seen little if any results. I have been lifting weights for a few years now and gaining muscle really isn’t a problem, however, its that stubborn last 10 pounds or so that is hard to get rid of. If i could rid myself of that unwanted fat i could have the body everyone wants. I am also currently a college student and we all know how hard it is not to gain some weight in college. All the temptations of unhealthy, quick and easy foods are there because i’m always on the go. I would love to learn how to stick a healthy diet into my schedule.

I don’t necessarily want a free copy (it would be nice though) I am just keen to get started on this programme. In the last couple of months I have been very close to the same sort of programme as yours through experimenting and (in most cases) a lack of commitment/discipline or whatever you want to call it. In closing all I can say is bring it on!!! I can’t wait to see how close I was and how much more I need to learn.

Hi Joel,
Trying this again as I got an error on the last try. I am a 48 yr old female with congestive heart failure and diabetes. I have lost weight, 80 lbs worth but am at a point where I am no longer loosing weight and I HAVE to in order to be put on a list for a new heart. I know that without it, I won’t live to be a Grandmother but I have every intention of trying!! My daughter is getting married in August and I would love to see that happen.

Anyway I do exercise and bike ride and do Zoomba classes. I have my blood sugar under good control and now just need a helping hand with the last 40 lbs. to be in great shape. Maybe in such great shape that I don’t need that heart transplant.

Thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge with all of us out here that want a chance to be healthy and happy.

Hi Joel,
Last week on Sunday (april 12) I was in my kitchen talking to my mom and boyfriend about eating right and working out. I am currently on a strict 3 week program, and have radical restrictions in my diet, and my boyfriend Cam, being a stick, was eating a huge meal right there! And man, did it smell good! So i said, “That’s it! I’ve had it, I want to be just like you Cam, and eat WHATEVER the heck i want and not gain anything!” Sure enough, the next day I check my email, and there it was! The answer to my prayers! Cheat Your Way Thin, waiting for me, the invitation to sign up. I could not believe it, that the solution had manifested this fast! I was in shock, and immediately signed up and eagerly read the updates! Simply put, I LOVE FOOD! I’m tired of depriving myself, worrying about calories or fat. I just want to eat what I Love and do it right. This program is perfect for me, because I want to lose those extra 20 pounds of fat that I have struggled to lose due to lack of motivation. Also, it manifested so fast, this has to be my answer! I can’t wait to get started! I appreciate you considering me for the draw. Thank you again.
Michelle

I am 38 years old and I’ve tried every diet under the sun. I feel I am so knowledgeable about how I should eat but I can’t seem to get it under control. Reading Joel’s launch updates seems to have turned on a light for me. I finally feel like there is some hope. The updates were so enlightening. I have two young daughters (ages 3 and 6) and I feel like time is running out for me to get control of my weight. I want to be a good role model for them. They have never asked me why mommy is bigger than other mommies and I would love to avoid that. Please, Joel. I will do your program proud.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for this opportunity. I believe that education is the key to success in any area of life, fitness and weight loss included. Without the knowledge of how the body works, we are limiting and possibly sabotaging our own success in achieving a truly fit and healthy body. I want the knowledge you offer with your program, and I believe… I KNOW it will benefit me for a lifetime. Anyone can be successful at quick and temporary weight loss with fad diets, but they have proven time again to be merely a bandaid (the kind that never stick right) and not the cure. Most of the time they prove to do more harm than good. Let’s be real.. I don’t want to continue to go through this every six months to a year because a diet ended and the same old bad habits returned, along with the weight (and it usually brings company). Let’s do it right the first time, end the suffering and reap the benefits! I want to be healthy and fit and I realize that in order to do so, I need to make some permanent lifestyle changes. Your program gives me the opportunity to do that, and I’m excited!

That’s why I want and NEED your program.

Thank you again,

Danielle

Cheat Your Way Thin sounds like something I want to get my hands on. Eat the foods you like and still lose weight but importantly not gain the weight back again. Get out of the yo-yo dieting merry-go-round. Stop the constant “I’m going to start my diet on Monday”. With Cheat Your Way Thin you don’t have to be down on yourself and say “well I’ve eaten this cake now, so I’ve blown it so may aswell eat more of it and continue eating more of it”. What happens after that little binge is guilt and more guilt. With Cheat Your Way Thin you’re allowed to have your cake and you don’t have to feel guilty about it. For people who live in the real world and have kids and celebrate birthday parties, eat out in restaurants etc, Cheat Your Way Thin can show you how to do all that and still lose weight! Sounds like a plan that I want to read about and start implementing asap.

Joel, I think this program is perfect for anyone because it is healthy and balanced. I am a Figure competitor and I have been on a few different get lean plans. One I couldn’t have a cheat meal for 6 months. I did it but was so grumpy and didn’t place very well and although I was lean. After my competition I crashed and ate everything in site that I deprived myself of before. We all need treats and if we can use it to help us get lean then ever better! I am a personal trainer and I have alot of clients that are afraid to eat the cheat meals but try to aviod them only to give in and over eat and feel guilty. If they are planned cheats then there is no guilt and you can achieve your goals at the same time. I would love to know more about exactly when to eat the cheats and how much for each individuals plan. I would love a free copy of your book!!!!
Thank-you!!!

I’ve been overweight since I started high school. I played sports, but I didn’t eat well, and at some point I just gave up on feeling good about myself. In college, I became depressed and wound up eating out of boredom or loneliness. Gaining weight didn’t help my self image or my social life. I tried dieting and working out, but I could never stay motivated, especially because they never seemed to make a difference. One day I kept track of my calories and realized I was eating over 3,000 calories of “health food” like granola and fig bars. I was nearly obese. I started seeing a psychologist, and after treating my depression, the weight started coming off. I was still overweight, but I was presentable. I started to realize that I deserved to feel better about myself. Hating your body is no way to live. It was time for me to get serious and do something about it. I tried a low-carb diet, and I went to the gym every day, but I was derailed by the Easter feast which I cooked for everyone and naively planned to abstain from. I’ve been so discouraged that I haven’t been back to the gym. But your program has given me hope that there is a diet out there that can work for me. I sure hope it does, because I don’t have the willpower for the conventional wisdom.

Hey Joel,

I had been on this “diet roller coaster ride” as far as I can remember. I have made the yo-yo dieting a career for the past 10 years at least. I have tried different diets/workouts/dangerous pills to achieve those coveted six pack abs but each time I try I always get to a point of cutting too much in my caloric intake that my fat burning comes to a screeching halt. One of the biggest hurdles in my diet is I love food. I love eating burgers, pizzas, fries, etc. The foods that all the other diets tell you not to eat. I find that those diets are too restrictive for me. Having heard about your program gives me great hope that I can finally achieve my goal of possessing a six pack.

Thanks for your consideration,

Ronan

This is the only diet programme which will give a opportunities to eat what you want & another important thing is it will take out you from diet pleatua as well as effective & faster result as stated.Personnally I feel after lot of diet plan which I already followed this will be ideal for All.

Joel,

I want to win this program because I really want to test it out. I will be honest – I am skeptical, but also intrigued (and hopeful!!).

I am totally convinced that the “starvation response” is real, and carbs play a major role in my weight issues (my only successful weight loss and maintenance was when I was limiting the high GI carbs). What you say about “tricking” the body with some carbs sort of makes sense, but it really seems too good to be true, hence my skepticism. Again, I want to be able to take it for a no-risk “test drive” to see if it really works.

I try to educate myself when it comes to fitness and nutrition because i have set high goals for myself and i am in the lookout for the best way possible to reach these goals. There is nothing like failing yourself and i’m determined to find the most efficient and proper way to get great results for my body.
Just last month i tried a sixpack program that tells you to limit your gram intake of fat and carbs and the first few days were great i was able to follow it properly but after the 5th day i found myself jumping at every tortilla, toast and dessert i could get my hands on, all of a suddent i couldnt control my cravings and they seemed to control me, i tried to go back to limiting my carb and fat intake but i was only able to do it for short periods it became extremely frustrating and disappointing, i was a bit skeptical about your program at first but the more i look into it the more appealing it seems and i truly want to be able to experience it so i can tell others about it and help them find something that truly works. i know there are millions and trillions of programs out there that promise amazing results but the effort and sacrifises you must make limit people into obtaining the results they truly want, and need. If this program works i will be thrilled to help as many people as possible obtain the results they are searching for, and will never hesitate to recomend and encourage every individual to try it. I WORKOUT EVERYDAY AND TRAIN HARD BUT MY BODY ISN’T EXACTLY WHERE I WANT IT, I’M DYING TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF HAVING MY DREAM BODY AND I’M ASKING THAT THIS PROGRAM HELP ME ACHIEVE MY GOALS, IF IT WERE ABLE TO DO SO, I WOULD BE FOREVER GREATFUL. THANK YOU.

Firstly, i’m not a robot. I can’t stick to schedule that required me to eat six healthy meals per day. Secondly, most program i use before required me to eat healthy but untasty meals and only allowed to ‘cheat’ once a week or once every two weeks. Lastly, i have a life, a family. When my mom cooks a delicious food for the whole family, i used to eat separately with them whereby i cook my own healthy but untasty food (eat separately from my family? that feels bad). Finally after few weeks, i gave up. My mom is 50+. I don’t know until when she can cook for me that delicious food. Conclusion, i have a life to enjoy. Not wholly on fitness. So, i think your program are suitable for ORDINARY person like me who have EXTRAORDINARY willingness and determination to lose fat and keep fit. Thanks again. God bless.

I’ve been a yoyo dieter for over 8 years now. I’ve done reduced calorie diets, low fat diets, Atkin’s, South Beach, you name it. I’m 41 years old with 2 little girls aged 8 and 6. I have about 50 excess pounds to lose. My body hurts and I know its due to excess fat and an unhealthy lifestyle all of which will reflect on my children in their future too because they learn from me. The awful thing is I think I know what I should eat and what I should be doing but I always fall back into old habits. From what I’ve read this plan sounds like something that would work for me because I could give in on occation and its ok, no guilt leading to more over eating or feelings of failure because you cheated!!

I am a 49 year old attorney who weighs 180 lbs. When I first started practicing law, I was thin and in good shape, but over the last 5 years, gained 60 lbs. Now, because of my weight, I am embarrassed to go to court. I have actually avoided cases that will require court appearances because of this! As a result, my income has gone down substantially. Today a friend of mine offered me a posiition at her law firm, but my confidence is so low that I will probably turn it down. I’ve tried to diet, but am usually derailed by a Scarlett O’Hara attitude (“I’ll worry about that tomorrow!”). My mother is diabetic and has blood pressure so high that she’s constantly in stroke zone. I know that I’m headed in the same direction if I don’t change my ways, and fast! I am SO tired of complaining! I find that I’m usually derailed by food related events; to make things worse, I love to cook and have dinner parties. So – if there is a way that I could have my party and lose weight, too, I would be eternally grateful – Pam.

Joel,
My name is Danielle and I am 21 years old. I have tried every diet out there and have failed time after time. I have been over weight since I had my first daughter. I have been trying to get these extra 25 pounds off for 5 years now and have had no luck. I think this would be a great opportunity for me to stick with this plan because I actually get to cheat. Every other diet I have tried has failed for me because its so hard to stick to the food without getting something I crave. All I want to do is get healthy for both my family and myself. I would appreciate receiving a free copy of your book. I look forward to losing these extra pounds that have kept me down for so long. Thank you so very much for giving is all this opportunity!
Danielle Perez

Well Joel, ive tried to drop weight….geez since back when body for life just started and i did but i gained all back im now 282!!! Joel I know my biggest weakness is food plain and simple and your write the moment i start eating healthy and cutting back my calories its like every thing starts to come to a halt!!!and then being hungry half an hour after i just ate meal number 3 i mean come on!!!
I was thinking to my self 2 days ago their has to be an easier and better way to drop my weight and then Craig Balentine told me about your web site yesterday and well lets say…ive been like pavslovs dogs experiment Ive been checking my email to see if you have left any other info for me. Your program will allow me to do what i have been trying to do for 4 years now!!!! It makes sense you plan when you cheat…or trick your body so it doesnt know if your coming or going thats freaking great!!!! I will become a great success story for you!!!!!!!! im 5’8 and 282 cant wait till im 170!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Joel, I coach girls high school volleyball and this would be an awesome program for them. Our conditioning is about to start and nutrition is always an issue. Trying to keep them eating healthy and off the junk is an ongoing battle. With this program they really can have their cake and eat it too. Very cool!!!

Thanks for all your hard work,
Jerry

Joel, I’m in a battle of a lifetime with weight. I have been successful twice in my life lst in 1970 with weight watchers. My goal then was to get thin enough to have children. I succeeded then but gained back the weight after 3 yrs. It took another 30 yrs before I got motivated and felt hope and had progress with Atkins. I’m an emotional eater and going through another big stressful time (taking care and losing my elderly mother) I gave up and regained the 50# I had lost. I know it is because I can’t be so deprived of the foods I love. I’m careful though because I have diabetes, high blood pressure and time is running out. I really have hope that your program will be the thing for me.

Hey joel,
Over the past few months, i have attempted to finally get rid of all the excess fat around my body to get a ripped body. I wouldnt say that im very fat but im more average. However i am not able to stay on any “diet” for more than 5 days tops. After those 5 days i end up binging on any sugary carbs and any junk food i can find. I tell myself that im going to start over tmmrw but the entire cycle repeats over and over again. I have tried everything from the paleo, atkins, anabolic, and even intermittent fasting but none have worked for me. In the end my cravings always get the best of me. If what u say is true about your Cheat YOur Way Thin system then i think it is the greatest thing ever made and promise you that i will use the system to its best.

Joel this program sounds awesome. I am very overweight. About a year ago I lost about 35 lbs with a well known program that encourages 6 light meals a day of whole grains, lean protein, and veggies. Fruit and the grains are eaten only at certain times of the day and only in certain amounts. I stopped for two reasons. I had reached a plateau I couldn’t seem to get past and I felt weak and shaky often. I was trying to follow a fitness routine and found it difficult with the weakness. The weight has stayed off though.

I am trying to watch what I eat and have lost a few pounds. I am also back to the fitness center and trying to generally get in better shape.

I am in my 50′s and have been overweight for a long time. I now have rheumatoid arthrits and fibromyalgia and fatique is often a problem. I am working hard (for me) at the fitness center trying to regain stamina, increase muscle tone and generally lose body fat.

Your program would be wonderful where I could plan a family get together or night out with my hubby. With the other diet I was always cooking and carrying food with me so I could stick with the program. I think my body is very good at slowing down the metabolism to prevent starvation. Everything I have read about Cheat Your Way Thin makes sense and sounds like it would help keep a person cycling and losing without slowing down the metabolism.

My background is as a cardiac Registered Nurse so even though I am overweight, I do understand nutrition and the need for a fitness plan also.

I would love to receive a free copy of the system and work hard and provide a good testimonial.

Thanks Joel, for all the info and for the chance to maybe get a system free.

I wish you good success,

Diane Mayotte

Hi Joel,

I have been struggling to meet my health & fitness goals for a while, and the hardest part for me is not the physical aspect, but the mental/emotional stress. It’s so difficult for me to restrict my meals, and feel completely unsatisfied every day with nothing to look forward to. I hate having second thoughts about going to dinner with friends or to birthdays because I’m too afraid of going over my calorie limit for the day.

After reading your updates and emails, this program sounds perfect because it offers a light at the end of the tunnel, and there is always the “cheat day” to look forward to. I feel like it will put the rest of the week’s food into perspective, and I won’t feel like my willpower is constantly being tested. I’m really excited to start and make my life a lot less stressful!

Thanks!

This program would be right for me as I have gotten myself stuck on that infamous plateau. Also I am trying to inspire my daughter who is now develoing a weight problem to shed a few pounds. She has three children and finds it very difficult to go to the gym with me. I feel we could both benefit from your program and any other advice you would be willing to share

I have tried so many diets over the years. I have come to a weight that I’m not happy with – yet with faithful dieting and exercising, nothing changes. I need to lose the last 10 pounds of “baby” weight, but it won’t budge. I don’t cheat. I have been very faithful on my diet plan for the last 8 years – but there is something missing. Somehow the chemistry isn’t right. I think you might have the answer for me.

My husband would also benefit. He finds it very hard to stick to a diet plan. He has a lot of cravings that he gives in to when he is tired. He also gets bored with eating the same types of foods. I think your program could be the answer to his off-again, on-again dieting.

Thank you,
Nadine

Hi Joel
I really NEED to lose about 15-20kgs & I have tried Weight Watchers & a tonne of other “diets”, but still am overweight. I have got so much information recently, but it’s so hard to stick to eating well ALL the time. My son is only 8 & I would really like him to develop good eating habits while he is still young, & he is not going to do that while I don’t have good eating habits!!! I need this program, because I believe I could actually stick with it, especially if I have to cheat!
Regards
Carla

I don’t really need it, however I would just like to see how it measures up to other systems I’ve come accross, maybe I’d reccomend the purchase to some people.
Cheers.

Joel,

I have tried all kinds of diet programs. Low carb, no carb, high protein… you name it. I tried it all. I am still struggling to find a diet program that is real and will work for me for the rest of my life.
I am a personal trainer. I consider myself very fit. although I will do the same thing as you did before: I will stay no carb or low carb diet for a while and then blow it totally, and then feel guilty… I don’t know how to balance it. when should I eat carbs and how much to eat. when I start to eat carbs, believe me, I will eat all day none stop. I can gain 5ib a day easy. I feel I am on this roller coaster.. it depresses me big time. Your program gives me hope and I am very excited to try it on. although , honestly, I am afraid it just some kind of marketing and business you are doing. I don’t know if it is a real deal of all. sorry I don’t mean to offend you in any ways. I hope I can win a free copy. I will spread the words if it works for me. I promise.

I have been a fitness professional for the past 35 years. I have also been a certified fitness supervisor, nutrition & wellness specialist, personal trainer, Lifestyle seminar presenter. Now, i ask you, why would i benefit from ‘Cheat Your Way Thin’? My hormones have been out of whack for about 10 years, during peri-menopause right through to menopause. I continue to exercise daily and eat healthfully. My lifestyle would be considered terrifc by many, and yet, over the past 5 years, i have gained much body fat and lost much muscle tissue. I rely on body composition to give an accurate account of my weight. I will not give up and am very willing and ready to be Your Poster Woman and aim to succeed. My success will give hope to all the menopausal woman out there who are ready to give up! I am committed to good health and well being and will surely appreciate the opportunity you have offered.
thank you , :-). Lori.

Hey Joel.
I am almost 56 yrs old and am in pretty good shape as I had learnt a lot when I was in the weight training industry before you needed personal qualification.
I am not asking for your program for myself, although we ALL need as much info as possible, but for my daughter who has gained a little extra weight and of course, won’t listen to dear old Dad. She also wants to help her Mum (my EX) shed some weight as she has had 4 kids to me and will not listen to me also.
It would be a great gift for them as I can give it anonymously through my sons. Then they should see the benfit and use it. I will no doubt purchase your program for me anyway because I want a copy too!! Appreciate your hard work, Thanks. Steve Harsh

For my husband’s health. He has gained 100 lb in 13 years, tipping the scales at 270. At 39 he is now in a prediabetic state. Diabetes and heart conditions run in his family. He is stuck in a sugar rut. “Cheating in eating” is what he is good at and I honestly feel this program would be one that could change his future for the better as well as allow him to be a solid example for our son to follow. I would like to have my husband around for many more years to come

Well, I kind of feel like this program of yours came to me just when I was about to give up. I have struggled with weight all of my life, but was able to lose around 70 pounds 3 years ago. I finally felt good physically, was at a normal weight, and had some confidence. I’ve gained back 15 pounds slowly, even though I have been following a strict diet. I actually think my metabolism is shot and my body thinks it’s in starvation mode. Reading about your program really makes me think that this is what my body might need to get those pounds back off and have them stay off for good. I do a type of crossfit training 4-5 times a week and stay active, so I know I at least have the exercise part down. Now I just need to know what to eat, when to eat, and how to strategically eat to keep my body in fat burning mode…and I think your program could be what does it!

Dear Mr. Joel,

I am 21 years old and I would like to build a healthy lifestyle including good nutrition and exercise habits. I have tried low calorie diets, however they just don’t work. I need access to the information you provide in Cheat Your Way Thin, because I believe that this is not just a diet, or real “cheating” but a manual that will help me choose wisely how to eat, when to eat, and what to eat so that I can establish good long term eating habits that will complement my exercise to maintain a healthy body that I can feel great about.

Thank you,

Geo

This sounds like the perfect way for me to lose the weight that has been troubling me for some time now. As far as exercise goes I’m right on top of that with a personal trainer and doing regular aerobic type classes but somewhere along the way no matter how good I am at sticking to the low fat high protein way of eating my metabolism just isn’t working at the right pace to lose weight. At least I’m not putting weight on though. I’m sure if I followed something like this I could succeed and get the body I’m dreaming of.

Hi Joel,

I am very interested in your program, I have 2 kids, 3 and 20 months, and I am still carrying some of my baby weight that just doesn’t seem to budge.. I work from home as a graphic designer and i am extremely busy between trying to look after them and also run my business.

I do go to the gym as much as I can, but with my schedule I can have off weeks where I just can’t get there at all, because in those weeks even sleep is hard to get!!

Again because I am so busy, sticking to strict and rigid diets and time consuming calorie counting etc is just not realistic for me, as i am always “grab n dash” when it comes to eating, but your program sounds very simple to learn and ideal for people on the run, like the lady I heard on your video testimonial.

Hey Joel, Eddie here! After losing 100lbs between the ages 19 and 20 after being fed up with being fat for most of my teenage years, I now find myself ballooned back up to near 300lbs all over again after marrying and having children. This lifestyle change has proven to be rather difficult and I am still having a rough time adjusting to this day. Having a diet plan that works with my life and not against it is essential to my weight loss and health goals this time around. I realize that in order to be successful, I need to make an honest lifestyle change rather than just fad diet and starve myself into a temporary fix. My goal is to be a HEALTHY family man for my wife and kids for YEARS to come – not yo-yo-ing back and forth with diet plans that discourage and seem to do nothing for my fantastically damaged metabolism. I’ve found that one of the health and fitness gurus out there that I read regularly has it completely right: (Josh Hillis) “If your workouts are on point, it’s gotta be the food.” In the recent past, working out with the wrong diet plan has annihilated my confidence in what I’m doing because the results JUST AREN’T THERE! I am confident that with your diet plan, my diet success will inspire me to workout harder and vice versa, hopefully equaling success! Thank you for this opportunity!

12 years of dieting and training Joel, 12 long years! I used to be really fat as a kid, I started training when I was 14. Although I have lost a lot of weight, my dream was always to be able to see my abs. I have tried countless diets, all were too restrictive. And I hate the guilt I feel everytime I cheat. Thing is ever since I heard about your diet, I’ve been searching all over the net to try and find more information, that was untill I realised you had not launched the book as yet. I need this Joel, I need to see my abs. I work out 6 days a week but I still look the same. I’ve been eating grilled chicken for lunch and dinner approximately 3-4 times a week, and honestly I’m tired of it now, I wamt to eat real food.

I have 30kg left to lose- I’ve already lost 20kg and done it through strict diet and exercise. I’m now thinking too strict as I’ve been the same weight now for a month despite training intensively for 6 days a week an six small meal per day. I’ve done calorie counting- not for me. As a HUGE food addict
I think this program can help me put boundaries in place so I can still eat the foods I love, just not overeat them!!! I would also love to tell some of your rivals that eating clean might get you halfway there but it won’t get younto the finish line!!

I need the detailed information in ‘Cheat Your Way Thin’ because I’ve been on a roll and I want to keep rolling! I’ve lost 25 lb in the past 5 months, and finally got a handle on my life-long weight problem. All thanks to the kind of whole-body, compound movements weight training you recommend, and by changing my diet to include more protein and less flour, sugar, rice and pasta. I have added the odd cheat day – or cheat week :), but I guess I wasn’t doing it quite right. Now I’ve hit a plateu for the past 8 weeks, and I need to change SOMETHING before my motivation goes down the drain. I do want to get leaner and stronger and ok, sexier, too! And since the workouts and diet changes worked so well, I now trust you – that’s what you get for giving good advice! And a regular cheat day sounds like just the ticket to keep me going, and get my metabolism cranked back up again. Ohhhh, to soothe my soul with sensous, slippery spaghetti again! To pamper my psyche with puffy, perfect pastry! Helloohooo, sweet little ice cream, long time no see! You look FINE to me!

Hey Joel,

I have been reading your blog for a while and have applied a lot of your nutritional suggestions in my life and they have worked. I know this may not be good enough to win the copy of your book but I KNOW that Cheat Your Way Thin is it for me. Even though I may not win this, I will buy it because knowing that I can alternate between eating healthy and my favorite foods can help me gain leanness as well as making it easy for me to STICK to.

I have been struggling with my weight for the past 9 years. I am 18 now. I know that if I gain all this knowledge and apply it to my life I can start my young adult life healthy and avoid that long quest to be in the best shape of my life! This is just enough to convince me! The testimonies of so many have also really inspired me. This isn’t a diet. It’s just another way of showing that wanting to be healthier isn’t so hard but simple :) I need someone like you to break it down for me!

And thank you Joel for taking your time and energy and sharing what you know with us. Also making it available for anybody to learn and apply to their life!!

In my honest opinion, reading Michelle’s story makes me think she deserves this more than I do.

God Bless!!

Good morning Joel,

I am 17 years old, dying to get six-pack abs science I was 13. Now would be the perfect time for me to go on the Cheat Your Way Thin Diet because I’m in Arnel’s Six Pack Abs Challenge and tried to do the diet he supplied us with but I’m a senior in high school, about to graduate, so I don’t have time to be cooking all these high quality foods and eat every 2 or 3 hours. I also got into the modeling business recently and need to be on my best shape by summer so I can participate in as much runways and gigs as I can. As the research you showed us states that we can basically not eat and keep leptin levels optimal so if I’m on your diet I won’t have to worry about my leptin levels lowering and be able to eat the foods I’m tempted with every day. I really want to make Arnel proud and prove to everyone his program works as it has for the last 7 weeks and a half. This will extremely help me get my modeling career a marvelous start and inspire a lot of people if my transformation turns out to be remarkable. Thus, Arnel’s program with your program combined would make the perfect transformation formula.
Thank you Joel, your program will definitely make my six-pack abs goal come true.

Hi Joel, I *need* this program. I have just had foot surgery and sat on my butt for 6 weeks. I gained so much weight! Actually, i just got flabby, and need to lose the flab and firm up!!! Anyway, I am extremely impulsive, and have a very difficult time depriving myself of anything. I think that if my mind knew that in just a day or two I could eat that brownie, or drink that latte, I might be able to follow a program. I am very intrigued by the idea of guilt-free ‘dieting’, and would love a chance to check it out!

I am 46 years old weigh 108kgs have tried every diet,only to fail every time cant sustain them.I am going to the gym 3 times a week pushing myself more and more, can see and feel the difference but need to lose the fat.Your program excites me as it looks realistic and i can cheat without feeling guilty.

hey ,
I am a girl from Turkey.How are you all?
I like you Joe .you are cute and very friendly and smart guy.
you can make me thin:) thanks

Hi Joel,

I am 33 years young and have trained a fair bit in my time. My strength levels are increasing and my diet is as good as i can get it, in my eyes. No matter what i try i still can’t seem to lose weight. I believe i need something new and with your assistance i hope my body can show it’s true potential. I’ve even tried training 3 times a day and still no success. I’ve purchased books from other trainers to no avail. Cheat Your Way Thin seems to be my last option.

Thank you for your time and generosity in sharing with us your successful tried and tested methods.

Cos ive tried eveything, dieting, running, weights and it it does is keep the weight down for a while. I want fast, and consistent results that will last me a lifetime. Im looking for a permanent change and i feel your book is the ticket.

I’ve been training for many years. I’m very strong and can see the muscular development that I’ve worked hard for over the years. I hired a personal trainer who helped me build more size and another trainer who monitored my nutrition. Monitored meaning he told me which foods that I had to eat. While the list was extensive and I like most of the foods on there, I settled on the easiest foods I could prepare. I had a fairly steady diet of either buffalo meat or chicken breasts along with brown rice and steamed broccoli. This works OK during the week but weekends are incredibly tough for me. I’m always out with friends and we’re always eating out at the best restaurants in town and hitting fast food occasionally for convenience. After each weekend I feel as though I’ve blown all the progress I made during the week. I don’t feel I should be punished for enjoying food that I ate over the weekend! I was very young when introduced to many different types of food and having eaten them I know I enjoy them. Limiting my diet makes me crave other foods (usually over the weekend since I’m on the go). While I get great results with my trainer-approved diet I don’t enjoy it as much as there’s not much variety. I’d like to find out if I can train hard and get cut up while eating foods that I enjoy without all the guilt.

Hey Joel,

I’m your typical yo-yo dieter, and I get those irresistible cravings during the week and it ruins everything i’ve worked hard for and it’s VERY frustrating. Once you start it goes downhill from there. I’ve been working out since I was 13 and then took it to a whole other level about a year ago and it was working, until those cravings peered its ugly head back into my life.

My number one goal right now is to see those hidden abs of mine. I’ve never had a problem gaining muscle, it’s just a matter of seeing them ripped and defined is my biggest challenge.

NOTHING seems to work for me right now when it comes to fat loss and I’m plateauing like crazy and I feel that Cheat Your Way Thin may be THE SOLUTION that can help me achieve my dream body and finally take charge of those cravings, while eating those oh so good chocolate chip cookies! and bbq wings! =)

Thanks!

Hi joel. I am involved in sports and am planning on starting up playing football again. I hadn’t played for sometime due to a broken collar bone. I would like to get in better shape to help me with that and other sports, especially wrestling. I would love to be able to make weight for a match while being able to eat lots of food…or any for that matter. I believe it would be immensly beneficial, plus I want to see if this crazy thing really works. Thanks!

I have been overweight since I was a little girl. I remember I started dieting at around age 12 and would not eat any bread, potatoes, sweets or fat and run around my house 3 times a day for exercise!

Over the past 40 years I think I have tried many of the diet/eating styles out there. I do the exercise, follow the plan and usually I have good results – in the beginning that is, but, before long, the weight starts to creep on again. This is mainly because it is just way too hard to restrict yourself for a long period of time. I am so tired of it all.

That is why I have a very good feeling about your program. I sense this is a new way of eating that is using the body’s built in responses instead of fighting against them. Therefore you are working with the body instead of against it – and you are allowed and encouraged to eat!

You can ask my husband, I try really hard and I am continually getting disappointed. To be honest I have been praying for a program to come into my life that is easy to follow, encourages healthy, sensible food & exercise choices and gives results. I believe your program is the answer to my prayers…..

I have been working out for the past few months with ok results but I want more. The past couple of weeks I think I have been doing something similar to how you discovered this program( 2 parties; week between them). I still did my regular workouts after stuffing my face both parties and I noticed I had dropped some weight…I’ve been wondering how it happened. Then, just the other day, I was referred to your findings and BOOM, it clicked! I would really like to read all you have to offer and implement this system so that it becomes my new life style. I’m very interested in nutrition(my ‘major’, for now at least…) and I’ve always wondered how all these athletes can eat ridiculously and still have great physiques. I eat so healthy compared to them that I end up being the ridiculous one to them. It gets frustrating, to say the least! I don’t eat out ever mainly because I’m poor(student) but also due to the unhealthy nature of the places I can afford. I enjoy all the stuff I make but it gets boring as I’m sure you know! I’d really like the chance to test what you’re suggesting. I’d be more than greatly appreciative. Thanks for giving those who can’t afford this system a chance to attain it! Actions speak louder than words.

Thanks again,
Tanner

I’m looking for a way to lose weight. I’d like to lose 20 pounds. I’ve tried many different diets and I’m not losing any weight. For 12 weeks I’ve been working out and not eating 2 days a week and I weigh exactly the same as 12 weeks ago. Help me out Joel.

Wow! To be able to eat all those tasty carbs and yet lose fat without losing muscles. That’s what I really want. Tried a lot of different diets and read a lot of books but don’t seem to be able to see the abs although doing all different forms of exercise. Hope I can get a free copy.

I am looking forward to getting a copy of Cheat Your Way Thin. I have used different diet or lifestyle changing program. Some of them worked like the Eat Stop Eat but are very controversial. Some are too damn hard to follow like the 30 Days Elimination Diet. I have also tried an old type diet program like the Fit for Life. It works at the begiinning but plateaus as fast as it worked. I used to be 260 lbs and reached 198 lbs at my lowest. But went back to 220 lbs.
I am hoping if I have a copy of Cheat your Way Thin. And start implementing it on my program. It will be have lasting effect and will be the program to get me to my target weight of 150 lbs. And will be the last and only program I will be using.

I just wanted to add a bit more about me, I am 35 yrs old, a mother to four very busy children, I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager and I have yo- yo dieted, tried every program available, (at least until I ‘blew it’ and gave up) I am hoping this will be the one that I can stick with!

Joel
After reading very carefully what you are offering, you have completely blown me away with this program. I could use this yesterday. I am 58 years old. I injured my knee on the job and have been off six months now.. Do you know what happens when you cant walk. Watching TV and playing on the computer.
A snack here and there. Some potatoe chips while watching tv…Consume 2000 calories and burn 1500. What do you think has happened these last six months.
Some extra pounds and fat. I normally stay very busy and active…WIW it doesnt take long.
So bless me with your program to help me and make you proud of me
Thanks
Don

Hi Joel,
I just turned 74 yesterday and have been following your emails over the last few weeks, awaiting the release of your program on the 28th, April.
Whilst I am not grossly overweight, I certainly do have a belly and find it embarrassing when my “tummy” overhangs my belt, destroying every attempt to wear nice clothes presentably and comfortably. I have read fully your six presentations of the benefits of your method of weight loss, together with the “real life success stories” and believe that with the inclusion of your “eat what you like” day, to enforce the balance of Leptin, it sounds much more sensible than any other diet that I have ever seen or read about.
At my stage of life a diet that prohibits enjoying some of the foods that most appeal to me does not make sense, hence the attraction and the practicality to what you have presented. I would like my wife to join me in this program, as both she and I have struggled to stay committed to other dietary approaches and combined with the exercises that you recommend, I believe that we would achieve our goals. Maybe we could respond with an Australian success story, here’s hoping!!! Cheers and Good Luck, from an Aussie.

Hi Joel,

I’m so excited about the possibility of winning a copy of Cheat Your Way Thin! I’m a mom of two kids 3 and under and I’ve been trying for years and years to lose my “freshman 25” and then the baby weight. I’ve tried all kinds of diets and always end up with that quick plateau that you’ve talked about, not to mention the cravings for all my favorite “off limits” foods. I’ll stick to a diet for a short time but then the cravings always get the best of me and I give up, feeling guilty over what ever I indulged in.

I’m absolutely convinced that Cheat Your Way Thin is the right step for me!! I am ready and excited to finally shed these extra pounds for good. At 5 ft. 1 , and 176 pounds the extra weight really weighs me down, physically and emotionally. I want my kids to grow up with a positive role model for healthy eating and fitness. I want them to see how exciting and fulfilling a healthy, active lifestyle can be, and I definitely need the extra energy to be able to keep up with them!!

I really believe that your research and Cheat Your Way Thin will be the key to success for me in this battle with weight loss. I don’t want it to be a battle anymore, I want it to be fun, I’m so excited to cheat my way thin!!!

-Michelle

Hey Joel,
I can’t wait to start using your plan. I think this plan will be perfect for me. I am an observant Jew and we consider Saturday a quiet day to rest and relax. Along with this comes two big meals that are generally shared with neighbors and friends and those meals are always insane. I find that no matter what plan I choose, Saturday comes and I’m back to square one. I workout almost every day but when it comes to food, I fail every time. I run and bike and I can’t ever seem to get to the next level because of the extra 50 pounds I am carrying around. I need to lose this weight badly.

I can’t wait to try your program and I hope you consider me for a free copy,
Jen

Hi Joel,

I have been doing some research over the last year as to which dieting is better over the other. I found out through my research that not many of the actual standard diets (low-carbs, high protein etc) have a “common sense” approach nor do they give the individual on them the opportunity to truly feel good while dieting.

The information that you have already sent out through your newsletter makes perfect sense and matches the information that I have gathered about dieting so far and I think that I would truly benefit from your program.
I would like to have access to your program as I was convinced through my research of the claims that you make. I also think I will be able to incorporate it into my busy lifestyle.

Best,

Astrid

“Cheat Your Way Thin” would be the perfect program for me because I LOVE to eat food (fried chicken, chocolate cakes, etc…) and I have always struggled with keeping my mid-section down. As a Supervisor who has worked shifts for the past 8 years, I know how hard it is to constantly alter your sleep and meal times and sticking to a diet when you are constantly changing your sleep and eating patterns is almost impossible to keep up….you just feel tired and burned out after a few weeks. I’m now 31 and weigh over 235 with a 38″ waist and I’d love to get back to a 33″ one. I really want lose this weight so that I can have more energy for work and for my free time. I really believe that this program CAN help me to achieve my goal, without making me light-headed and tired all of the time like regular dieting will. I definitely want to start ASAP.

Hi there Joel,
I feel that this program would benefit me. I am 51, y/o female and I have tried many diets over the years to loose weight. I have only been successful on the “divorce diet”! I work out with weights, cycle, do aerobics (the slow burn type) walk 3 miles a day in good weather but never seem to loose fat or weight! I do eat very healthy, lots of salads and plenty of protien. Menopause has been so hard on my body and I need to loose 20 lbs for my health, I have high BP and take meds, no health insurance, and desperately
need to get healthy. Also I have a class reunion coming up next year!
I would love to have my before an after success story photos on your web site.
Thanks for the info I have already received.

Joel,

The Cheat Your Way Thin Program seems to be the talk of the underground fitness world right now. As for me, a college student; I may not “need” this program as much as other people. However, the benefits to my field of study that this program promises to provide would be a tremendous bonus to my goals. I am pursuing a career in Health and Fitness, more specifically in Physical Therapy and Personal Training. I plan to become a registered dietician and a certified personal trainer. As such, having multiple methods to present to the public that seek out help, this program would be a great addition to what I already know and am in the process of learning.

Also, as an aspiring “health freak” I feel this program would allow me to try something new while putting that final spin on my diet program (which is not working as well as I would like it to). Currently, I am using your FBFL program and I must say the gains I’ve seen are pretty amazing. I never expected to gain 3 pounds of lean muscle after a 2 week hiatus – 1 of which was spent in Cabo, Mexico (good times). Combined with this program, I feel this may be the best option for me to reach my goal of 5% body fat; currently, I am 5’8”, 165 lbs. and 11.6% BF. Cheat Your Way Thin will help in avoiding the dangerous binge-eating sessions while also getting me “shredded”.

To a better alternative,
Josh

Joel,

Of course I’d like to have one of the three courses, but I have to say great job on this launch! Very impressed with the contest as a means of social proof

I weigh 231 pounds. My life has changed drastically after gaining all of this weight. I *need* to lose weight. Altho I have improved my eating habits, I do not know how to let go of many of the foods that I love & I keep sabotaging my already painfully slow progress, which is very frustrating. I want to live, I want to enjoy life but I also want to lean & healthy. I want to have my cake & eat it too. I need Cheat Your Way Thin. Please pick me.

Joel im 16 years old and ive been over weight my entire life, right now Im 6ft and 240lbs. Ive been dieting for 4 YEARS, ever since i was twelve ive been trying to lose fat with no success. Ive tried slim fast, low carb, crazy diets that constantly change what you eat and ive only had zero to short term success. In the end i end up binge eating. Ill just lose it one day and just eat all the sugary foods i can find, after this ill end up quiting. Joel from what youve sent about your “Cheat Your Way Thin” it sounds like i might actually have a chance, i can stay on a diet and actually use my the foods that i love to help. Please release this Joel I really want to start and at least try.

I think this program will be great for me because your Cheat to Lose worked so well. I have been on chemotherapy for the last 7 months and have put on about 40 extra pounds due to all the medicine I was taking. I am now finished and trying to take back my life. This would be an excellant rehabiltation tool for both weight loss and getting past the fatigue and back to a normal life.

Joel, I can’t say that I “need” your program because I have no idea if it will work for me the same way it has apparently worked for you. And I don’t want to presume to be more “needy” than someone else here.

This is what I do know: I have failed miserably to become lean and healthy more times than I can count — but I keep trying. I have more pounds of excess fat to release than probably anyone here. I want to live. I want to become healthy. I want to become lean and strong.

If you really have poured your “heart and soul” into this and it is not some gimmick sales pitch, and if YOU really know it will work — then I need to know because I’ve been stuck in this pit and haven’t been successful in getting out on my own yet. And maybe you are one who can show me a way out.

Hi Joel
Reviewing you updates on Cheat Your Way Thin has highlighted for me why I struggle to lose fat. For the last 4 years since having my daughter I have been on one diet or another in a neverending battle to shed my unwanted weight. As you talk about in your updates I gain some ground in weight loss but then it stops not matter how much I excercise or restrict my food intake. In fact I eat so little now that my metabolism is probably moving at the pace of a snail. Cheat Your Way Thin appears to have the real potential to help me get my body doing what it should be doing whilst eating like a normal person and help me listen to what my body is telling me to do. What a great opportunity.

Hey joel. well i was a choby kid and well that’s something that you remember forever my family is kinda choby too so well i don’t exactly have an ejemplar nutrition and it’s really dificcult for me to diet when all the time i see people eating delicious stuff however i started to workout when i turned 14 and well i’ve got some results but after two years of intense workouts i just can’t get my perfect body
and well i stayed thin but i know that i won’t be ok until i get the body i’ve always wanted and that i worked for it.
but i was missing nutrition.
i always thought i could just eat however i like and think “heck i’ll burn this with my workouts”
turns out i couldn’t. i’ve learned you can’t outwork a bad nutrition but then i had another problem. what program should i follow?
i tried the 6 meals a day diet but it just didn’t go with me you know i’m kind of a food lover and i wanted my favorite foods back.
that’s why i really like Cheat Your Way Thin you can strategically eat your favorite foods and loose more weight than ever!
the program doesn’t turn you into a maniac that counts every calorie that he eats and just doesn’t eat any food that he likes.
Seriously who wants that?
but the thing i like the most about you and your program is that you have and explanation for everything, you just don’t tell us: do this and you’ll loose weight. You give us the reason behind it i really like that
this easy to follow program is just what people want to stick to (more a teenager like me who can’t just plan everything)
that’s why i want your program

Please help me to achieve the body of my dreams.

ive done it straight it didnt work
im still fat and now i hurt
cheating sounds like the only way
i will ever make this hard work pay

simply put. i am a extremely overweight who becomes moderately overweight than extremely overweight and etc. get the trend. i seem to stick to diets for a period of time and lose some weight. but than somebody puts bloody chicken wings or pizza on my table and i get addicted to food again.. and walla there goes all my hard work. i don’t hope or pray but i really know that cheat your way thin is the product for me because lets admit, dieting mixed with strategic “breaks” and carb cycling will work. and kudos to you for coming up with the idea, be it from a “embarrassing” moment.

Joel,

3 years ago (19 at the time) I weighed 116kg, and decided to do something about it. I started the Cohen’s Lifestyle Clinic program (I believe its similar to the Atkins diet) which was tough, but I managed to stick it out and lost 36kg. That weight has stayed off for the past 2 and a half years, but I still have a fair bit of residual body fat hanging around, giving me a “skinny fat” physique.

I have tried lots of things to shift the stubborn remains, I eat healthy types and amounts of food, and work out regularly, but nothing has worked. Your Cheat Your Way Thin program seems so radically different to everything else I have tried, that I feel its time for one last try doing it on my own before I seriously consider resorting to surgery :-).

Cheers,
Jared

Are you kidding? I’m over here in Asia–Singapore exactly–and its a waste-land for great nutritional programs. I keep scouring the web to find the “best” material. If you’re coming out with something new–in spite of all the other fat loss competition out there–its got to be cutting edge. If it weren’t you wouldn’t be taking the risk. Besides, any friend of Jayson Hunter is tops on my list. I’ve already bought all his stuff. I figure you two have allied on another funky, freaky and unforgettable fat loss product. Time to wipe out the myths and spread the word of ‘Joe’

Later–
Bill

Hey Joel,

Im 17 and a graduating senior this year. I have recently been working on losing belly fat, most of my family memeber are also with this problem. I have seen Vincedelmonte’s videos and also Arnel’s workout videos, and i have seen results but i need a good diet to go a long with my workout… because as we know six packs abs are made in the kitchen. This will also let me help other members in my family including: my mother and father which have heard all the lies about fat loss…and your program will help me get some credibility when they see real results. This program will truly help me…but it will also guide me in helping others. I think its time the truth about fat loss got out….so that millions of people out there dont get ripped off with fat loss pills, starving diets, or ab roller that never work.

Until next time,
Irving

I would love the opportunity to try the Cheat Your Way Thin. I have had so much trouble shifting the last few kilos and it has been ten years since I had my second child. There is so much conflicting advice about what to eat, when and how to exercise. Your advice has been great and has really motivated me to do more. I would relish the chance to follow your program and change not only my future but the future of my family.

I can’t say whether this program will work for me. I haven’t had much success with other diet regiments. I’ve made special effort in my current regiment to not eat wheat products (which i love!) and NOT cheat.

I am constantly reading about health and fitness, work out regularly, am obsessed with the nutritional value/quality of my food and have successfully guided some of my friends to their weight loss goals. I hope to be a CPT one day. Despite those facts, I maintain a 5’7”, 172 lb, FEMALE body. I don’t look like I weigh 172lb and I am in pretty good shape, so one wouldn’t think I’d have high body fat. But its all in the belly!!! I’ve had it all my life even when I was my slimmest in college, working out about 3 hours a day.

I am embarrassed when I get into fitness discussions with people knowing that they judge what I say not by what I’ve studied, but by the gut they see. It’s even harder talking to my parents about fitness. They’ve let themselves go and are overweight and on cholesterol and blood pressure meds. They angrily point at my belly and say ‘sure has worked for you hasn’t it’.

I want the gut gone! I’m all about hard work and sweat!!! But hard work and sweat without an EFFECTIVE plan will only get me so far. I’m hoping that this is finally the plan that will produce results from my efforts.

I’m fascinated by the science and it makes good sense compared to the diets that suppress metabolism and land you right back where you started. I’m a competetive athlete turning 60 next year and if I could manage to get back to my “fighting weight” from 15 pounds/years ago, I think I could start winning races again. Like Tom Berringer in Major League, I’d like to have one more season in the sun.

Joel, from everything I have read over the past several days your program is the perfect program for me not only now, but for the rest of my life. Let’s face it. We are human and with everything being thrown at us each and every day, it is very difficult to find a nutrition program that never falls off track. Your program teaches us to use this to our advantage. I NEED this information and there has been no better time in my life than now. I have been blessed with the ability to lose weight if I kill myself in the gym and follow a very strict diet, but after I reach a goal, I always seem to fall off of the wagon and gain all of my weight back and more. I am a Police Officer, husband, and father of 6. My life and schedule is very hectic. I love food and seem to love what I have come to know as bad (fattening) food. Please help me. I want to set a good example for my children. I want to feel good about myself. I want to be able to walk up a hill without being out of breath. I want my partners to know they can count on me. Your program will help change my entire life. I will finally have control over food instead of the other way around. I don’t mean to sound like there will be no work on my end required, but I’m ready to change my life. Thank you.

Like you, i have tried many strict diet where I must stick to this type of food and nothing else. What made it hard for me was not being able to be like most of my friends who are actually in great shape and can basically eat whatever they want. Therefore, when we go out, I fall off the wagon and give up. It is mentally draining. Listening to the lady who went from a size 12 to 4 during the most partiest time of the year, I told myself finally something that I may try and not feeling guilty the next day because I ate the same types of foods as my friends. If it works for her and her husband it surely will work for me as well and I will not have to restrict myself like i used to do by following a very strict diet. This could be what I am looking for FREEDOM to eat whatever I want and still achieving my goals to be in the best shape of my life and proving those people who always told me that I would not be able to stick to a diet because I love my carbs.

Thank you for this opportunity

Nyrton

I am not over weight, I don’t have tons of fat to lose but I do have stubborn fatty areas that WILL NOT budge despite my hardest efforts. You know how you hear that the closer you are to your goal, the harder it becomes? Well, that is totally true. I have hit a plateau and done almost EVERYTHING I can think of to get that last layer of fat off. But for the last 3 months I have had nothing to get excited about when I take my weekly measurements. I eat good most of the time, I even cheat once in a while, but something is obviously missing. I know it’s possible to get the body I want, I just need to know HOW to do it. I NEED something that works this time! Summer is almost here!!!!

Dear joel,
Cheat your way thin is literally the best thing out there for me, i am very overweight, and have tried every single diet out there, you name it, ive had it, but all with useless results because i just could not stick to it. Thus cheat your way thin is THE best as cheating on diets is my forte, and it would be great to use that to an advantage! even if i dont win i just want to say thankyou from me and on behalf of everyone else for making such an amazing program and for being so dedicated.
Yours in health
Hasan

Hi Joel

I think Cheat Your Way Thin would be ideal for me.

From what I have seen and read it is a straight forward, easy to follow program that works!!

To be honest, it is something I would prefer to think would become a way of life rather than a program to follow.

I’m 41 years of age, have not done any real exercise since school and need something to inspire me for now and the furture, Cheat Your Way Thin sounds like the kick start I need.

What I need is something to help me lose some weight, whilst making me see that a good exercise program is part of it, whilst at the same time not feeling like a chore, just part of my life.

I also like the idea of treats without the guilt trip, that’s why other diets don’t work, or do not work in the long term, the moment it feels like a punishment, I would have two cakes to rebel against the diet, who suffers, go figure!!

This is something I cannot wait for!!

Cheat your weigh thin from your info emails seems like the best dieting plan i have come across. Simply because it sounds achievable, lets you eat the foods that you can get cravings for that would usually send your diet and mindset down the toilet together. I would be after this simply because i am looking for a nice simple weigh of shedding my bodyfat after i have finished a bulking phase at the gym. I am looking for a way to enjoy dieting and i think this could be my answer!

Joel I’ve been training for 6 months now and have had some great results however my diet is disgraceful. My wife is about to give birth to our first child and me wanting to be an active dad I decided to get my butt in the gym but I NEED HELP PLEASE when it comes to what I should eat and more importantly when to eat. I have read countless books on nutrition and had a go at some of there meal plans but within a short time returned to my old habits. Your programme sounds like it’s suited to the average every day person (me) and I would definately love a free copy of Cheat Your Way Thin so I can get started straight away. Hope you can help.

I am nearly 42, have weight trained and dieted for years; currently I got a bad shoulder injury (had it 8 months+). I know that correct nutrition will transform one’s body like magic. In my younger years, this worked a treat I could lose body fat and look as if I had been training hard just by improving my diet; ie no junk (which I missed terribly). I am at present eating quite well with a little bit of rubbish, but no real physical change as I can’t train myself into euphoria (due to injury). I would like to try some new approach but after having wasted money on programs in the past feel demotivated, a freebie would be a nice change; especially if it worked. I would become your best advertisement for your program (if it worked) . Hope I win!, Robbie.

Hello,
This sounds great to me as I don’t diet, but have steadily gained 3lb a year, now that I’m 45 I’m carrying 20 lbs too much. I work as a teacher and need all the energy I can can get. I know that being fitter would mean I could give more to my kids, in the way of inspiration and direction. I don’t want to live a life that is only half lived, but I don’t know how to get there.

Working in the marketing & sales line & entertaining customers & suppliers is part of my job. Can’t avoid dinners, lunches,parties etc & has the tendency to over eat. At 46years, all those food intake made me grow side way & out of propotion. But I need to look presentable in my job, so I tried dieting with only protein & avoid carbohidrat,exercise doing a lot of cardio & of late weight training till my knee is injured. However, I can’t stick to the strict food regime long as I am expose to so much food temptaion each time I entertain my clients. Difficult to stay thin with all the eating & the excercise reach a plaque. After all the not much success story, Cheat your way thin should suit me since I am able to eat & yet lose fat. Is flexible as I can fixed the day to cheat & eat all those carbo food which I like instead of only protein & revert to some dicipline routine knowing that I will get my reward few days later to eat what I crave & stay thin without feeling guilty that I have sabotaj my effort to stay thin.

From the moment I learned about Cheat Your Way thin, I instinctively knew this method would work for me. While many diets have also “worked”, the success was short lived. I made myself crazy thinking about what I couldn’t have. As a result, I would cheat–and cheat big. Guess what! When I limited my cheating to once a while, I still lost weight. In fact, my biggest drops sometimes coincided with a cheat night. I didn’t know there was science behind that! Problem is, cheating led to guilt and guilt led to feelings of failoure. So, I fell off the diet altogether. I gain all the weight back and repeat the vicious cycle again. I feel like I can finally break the cycle with a program that responds to the way my body wants to work and allows me to enjoy food and life at the same time!

Like most people on this site, I’ve tried so many other diets. None ever seemed to work. My family has a genetically slow metabolism and a history of hypertension/diabetes. Most of these were onset by their high weights. I just recently lost my mother to a heart attack which was due to her very high BMI. I’m only 18 years old and I promised I wouldn’t live a life of suffering. I’m 5’7″ 230 pounds..which has lead me to a very low self esteem. All of these success stories are giving me a sense of hope. The fundamental ideas of this diet is a very new concept to me, i actually feel like I can do it now! If theres anyone out there like me, please don’t give up hope, theres always a way around everything. I believe this is what I need to live the life I’ve always dreamed.

I want a normal life where I can eat my pizza or ice cream. I know that it’s not healthy to indulge all the time, but I don’t want to feel guilty when I do take a slice or 2 of pizza. I want to be able to learn to when to cheat and not sabotage all my hard work. I am a normal person that wants to live a normal life and be able to have the best of both and if I am able to drop my weight by learning the right way to cheat my way to be thin I will be eternally grateful. I look forward to learning your new breakthrough that produced great results for your clients.

During years of anorexia and bingeing, I denied myself food telling myself that I didn’t deserve it. When I would binge, it would lower my self-esteem even further. A year ago I was finally developing a healthy relationship with food when I became pregnant, prompting my long-term boyfriend to propose. We were deliriously happy, however my body was not ready to carry a child (I was very weak and sickly), and I had a miscarriage at three months. This tragedy drove my fiancee away, and I moved in with my parents to recover emotionally. The pregnancy and subsequent heartache have made me gain a lot of weight. I’ve lost my fiancee and child, but maybe with your program, Joel, I can get my body back.

Hi Joel,

“Cheat Your Way Thin”. What a title, what a concept. I can’t help but be interested in learning more about your program. I want to begin right away. That’s all I have to say about that.

I am 37 year old male living in Turkey. I tried a lot of different programs to loss fat and get a better definition. My first problem is the weekend with my little daughter, because she wants to go to Mc Donalds or places like that and than it is hart to ressist not eating. The second problem, turkish people like to eat. everytime you are invited there is food and it is unpolite to say no. That is why it would be great to have a plan where you take invitations without worry about food or beeing unpolite to friends and family.

I have been through so many sites, always looking for the miracale, cure, fix,easyway to lose the weight I seem to have been losing and gaining over the years.
I believe I have now found it, I have read your free posting over the last weeks and implimented so much of what you have sent, so now know deep down your Cheat your way thin is what I and many others are looking for.
I do not want to feel fat and frumpy any longer, I want to feel alive, slim and to live longer than this tired blob of a body indicates at the moment.

I am at a point in my life where I need this program to work for me.
I am a 47 yr old female who has had half a thyroid removed due to hasimotos thyroiditis last sept.
If any one needs help figuring out carbs-exercise- and health- it’s me!
I have weight trained for many years on and off and hit platues, then had success and last year worked like crazy and still could not lose fat….now I know why…my thyroid was being destroyed.
I exercise and cannot gain ground, I do well for a few days then get very tired and crash.
So Joel, how much can we learn about thyroid, hormones and fat loss and still be able to cheat – in between eating very healthy of course!
I dare you to use me as a guinea pig…show me the carbs I can eat and I’ll show you stubborn fat loss …heeheehee!
Thanks Jean

I think I NEED this program, not only for myself but for my family as well. My DH has huge troubles with his weight (he is currently 135kg). He has a physically demanding job so I don’t think his problem is activity related so I have to say it’s all due to his diet and lack of understanding of nutrition, I have read lots of information on your sites and feel this just might be the program for us, it sounds simple enough, not too complex for one such as DH, and best of all he will still be able to enjoy some of his favourite cheats occasionally! So Joel, PLEASE PICK US! You will be changing many lives in one go if you do!! :D

I am 22yrs old and recently gave birth to my precious daughter. I look pretty good when I have my clothes on, but without…I have “beautiful” love handles and belly that goes away when I stop eating chocolata and other sweets. But I just CANNOT stop eating them. Maximum is week, when I lose eating normal (though excluding sweets) about 3 lbs with no effort. Again I eat sweets and bring those pounds back…
I am desperate, I cannot live with sweets, so I thought maybe Cheat Your Way Thin is the only program to save me…

I need access to this information because it sounds realistic and its something that a real person can follow. I am a 19 year old female who has been growing up in a world where Mcdonalds and burger kings are at every corner, food is so easy to obtain and food portions are continually growing that it is far too easy to overconsume our favourite foods. I am trying to lose weight and i know i can do it, i have the right mental attitude, what i need now is the right tools, i need the right information to get me over the next hurdle. I have trouble avoiding the ‘bad’ foods, i plan to have a small serving, but that idea often disappears after the first bite. I need this program so that i can effectively work into my diet the foods that i want to eat without feeling the guilt, feeling gulity about that slice of pizza or the scoop of ice-cream is counter productive, if im constantly reminding myself how bad i was treating myself how can i reach my goal, i want to be mentally, emotionally and physically strong. This program will allow me to incorporate these foods into my diet in a realistic manner and let me enjoy then, why eat something yummy if you cant enjoy it. I want to make good food choices for the rest of my life, let me start now, i need this information so that i can live a healthy balanced life. I am ready!

I’ve been following all the updates for this program and I’m really interested in it because of 2 reasons:

1) I have lost the initial weight but am now on the hardest part, loosing the last 10-15 pounds. Now, I have been able to stick with some eating patterns for a while, but I always end up falling at some point, which gets me re-starting the “diet” again every 2 months or so. What I’m in need of is something a bit more flexible, a program that “doesn’t break easy”.

2) The one thing that frustrates me the most when doing super clean eating is the social factor. Getting together with friends or co-workers and not being able to eat slice of pizza or have a beer without feeling guilty pretty much sucks. Sometimes I don’t mind and I take the opportunity to “preach” some wisdom on fitness and nutrition, but most of the times I’m wishing I could go ahead and eat that slice or have a scoop of ice cream or whatever.

So it seems this program my kick down my biggest obstacles and would definitely like to try it out. Joel, you’ve done a great job promoting and getting us interested in your program, so I hope whoever wins this contest can later show us their results.

Best of luck from Argentina!

Hi Joel,

I have been following your mails for the last couple of days and have found it really interesting.

I have been working out rigorously for the past 12 weeks and have seen considerable increase in my strength. However due to bad & wrong eating habits I have not been able to get he body in shape. I have seen my self indulging in foods which at time is not included in my diet.

After reading your mails in the past week, I have started getting this feeling that there is a scope for cheating in diet. I can very well indulge in my favorite foods without having any guilty pangs.

Thanxs & Regards,

Mehul

Mr. Marion,
Please HELP! Joel I’m 5ft4in tall 225lbs 37 year old man that because of my bad dieting have grown MAN BOOBS. It’s so embarrassing that I don’t go to the beach, I wear extra baggy clothes, and I never take off my shirt in public nor in my own house. If possible I would love to be one of your examples that after using your program I could help you sell more and more CHEAT YOUR WAY programs! Really. I’m a born salesman and I know once your product works for me I’ll be your witness along with the others you’ve already helped.

I want to be one of your chosen winners of Cheat me thin.

I have tried various diets over the years with limited success – I feel I have been on a rollercoaster ride. My body normally goes into starvation mode stopping me loosing the weight.

This time it is going to be different – why? Well I believe that it will allow me to eat what I want, raise my metabolic rate, exercise and get rid of that stubborn fat.

So come on Joel make me one of your winners and let me join in on the success of so many of your other clients have enjoyed and make a slimmer person in this my 40th year.

As a student in Kinesiology, with an interest in Nutrition, I am constantly bombarded with information about the body and how it works, whether that info is coming from lectures or from outside research/interest. There are two reasons why trying this program would be of value to me. First, it would help me sort some of the real from the fluff. Second, by trying this program, I would be experiencing first-hand what people are trying (or should be trying). If I know by personal experience what works, I have much more confidence in a program than if I am only reading statistics about how well it works. Obviously, there are some basic recommendations (such as following the food guide), that tend to work well, but only when followed, which can prove more difficult than it sounds as I am sure we can all attest to. As well it may take a year or more to see significant changes. We live in a fast-paced culture that thrives upon quick and efficient results. The more ways I can invest the time and effort into learning about the body, the more I can help others reach their goals without the confusion of trying to find out for themselves. Being involved in the field, I can say it is hard enough to know what is best for the body; fitness and nutrition are so newly studied, we just don’t have that many solid answers yet (for example, the recent discovery of Leptin). Even as a student, I don’t know what is the best answer to losing that extra layer of adipose tissue hiding away the abs (cause I know they’re there), but I sure would like to know so I could tell the World!

Hello Joel,

I think the best way to describe why I would benefit so much from this program would be to take you back to last June. At 5′ 11″, and just turning 41, I weighed 250 lb. I was fat and unfit. I decided I was not spending life feeling and looking bleah anymore.

So I started exercising — slowly at first, and then a little more as I could handle it. Then I started watching the diet a bit more, all phased in at a rate I could maintain. It worked, too! I am now around 180 lb, looking and feeling much more fit.

The thing is, I really don’t know why anything I did worked, and I’ve plateaued, with that last 10 pounds just clinging on. I can feel myself getting less motivated! A day may soon come where I give up. I don’t want to go back to being a slug!

I need to replace my blind faith in my ad-libbed program with a structured program that I understand I will succeed if I follow it. I feel your program offers a path forward that I can follow with confidence.

Regards,

Gerald

Hi Joel,
I am a 48 year old mum of three. I am roughly 6feet and weigh something like 185lbs(1.78m/92.5kilos) I am at least 30pounds overweight!
I think your cheat your way thin is great because you don’t have to starve yourself thin and from what I have read so far you can enjoy anything you really like and get rid of any extra fat. It is surely the most healthy way to lose weight for ever. What I find great in the concept is that it is based on scientific research so it does absolutely NO harm to the organism and the body.I guess that starving myself for a month or two would be a way to get rid of those extra pounds but they would surely come creeping back with some others after a short time. From what I have read with cheat your way thin it is a completely different method and it teaches a new way of eating that once adopted keeps anyone lean and healthy. The most healthy and less dangerous way to lose weight is the one that anyone can use in any condition(c.f the couple who started using it at Thanksgiving and managed to lose quite some weight throughout the season holiday!) It seems just what I need and I hope to win a free copy so I can get started asap.I need to get this information because I really need to get rid of my extra fat and so far I haven’t managed. I have tried pills, drinks, patches, low calorie diets…) I have the will but unfortunately it has never given me the expected results so far. I am at the age at which one must start taking greater care of his body and losing the extra weight is the best start. I would also like to look and feel better and more attractive.I really think this is the right thing for me to try and adopt. I know that what you eat and how you eat is the key to a healthy and lean body and that is what I want now!

Its kind of interesting to come know that these words I write, determine what I do with my Health , and a chance to in an awsome program that I have been hearing about. Well I guess to the best of my capabillity, I will awnser the questions with a hope of winning.

Honestly Joel, I believe there are 2 switches that trigger change and success in the human body. The 1st one is coming to realization that there is an issue and that , something has to be changed, and the second is the action and where to lead after that. So I guess what im asking for Joel is for you to pull that second switch for me, and allow myself to fix my problem. I believe health and fitness industry is a big fake , crap, and every article is to loose weight or gain weight, with your program I believe that it can trufully help me find ideal balance and a maintence where I can still enjoy my life with the people I love and care for.

Thats all I got , and hopefully enough – Nick

Hello Joel I think your system could be good for me as you seem to know what your talking about in the emails I received I have tried various other dieting programs but after a while get fed up with the same routine I need more variety I have your mates Vince delmonte prohewm which I am trying out at the moment and I know it will take time but I am seeing some results already he recommended you to me hence why I’m here if his system works then by taking a chance on you tours should work also if what you have said in your emails is true then this system should work and I need a system that works

Dear Joel,
i think that this program would work really well for me in particular because of my situation. i am a drama student at a big university with a flourishing social life. im not good at refusing treats and i go out often, so i’m quite overweiht. this has resulted in some bullying, and when i audition for roles in local theatre, i’m always stuck being comic relief or a minor character. i’m capable of a lot more, and hope to make my career in theatre, but it seems like i’m going to have lose weight to do that. my family also has a history of heart disease. i’ve tried diets before, but coud never stick to programs that made me hungry. you’re program looks fantastic because it has helped so many different people, and it lets you have treats so you can feel good about yourself and go out with friends. finally, i think i should be given the free program because i am rather seriously in debt at the moment, and if i don’t get it free i won’t be able to afford it, no matter how generus the discount. please help me to be taken seriouly by my friends and in my work.
from Amber

I am a (nearly!) 39 year old mother of 3 aged 11, 9 and 7. 6 years ago I did body for life, was in the best shape of my life, but still only nicely toned- then a triple whammy; a double viral infection which lead to peripheral nerve damage which lead to rheumatoid arthritis. I am at high risk for type 2 diabetes having been gestational diabetic three times.
Despite trying to stay active, with the limitation placed on me by my RA, and being careful with my diet pretty constantly, if I am super careful for a few weeks I can lose a few kilos, then a week of ‘normal’ eating and it’s back, and if I am consistently ‘bad’ well I am the weight gain queen! I still am at the very top end of my BMI healthy weight range, and have plenty of wobbly bits to lose.
I believe that Cheat My Way thin will give me the tools to have the best (healthy!) body I can have, to love the body I am in and be a Very Yummy Mummy before I am 40!

I am very passionate about nutrition, exercise and overall wellbeing. This program has sparked a lot of interest and I know it will inspire me even more to achieve my goals in becoming a healthier and happier person. I am a University student studying to become an educator so I do not have much money at the moment so getting a copy of Cheat Your Way Thin for no cost would be great! I’m looking for a way to have a healthier, fitter and happier lifestyle and I believe this program will work for me. I’m only young but i believe its better to know what works best for my body now rather than later!

I’m 39, 290 lbs I have done pills for weight loss (strong ones), atkins and every other diet that has appeared during the past 25 years, losing some weight at times but gaining it back even faster. At times i think i was just made to be fat.
But now I have 2 beautifull kids 6 and 4 yrs and i don’t want them to grow up without a dad, I know that if i want to be here for them i have to start taking care of my weight, i started excercising a litlle following Turbulance training but haven’t lost that much weight yet. I feel that if iI can excercise and eat correctly i will see some success.

Hey Joel! I want to win this contest not for me, but for my brother. Here is a coment I posted on Lee Hayward’s blog 2 weeks ago when he first posted your
web site. ( Hello again Lee,
Eating junk food and losing fat at the same time… Sounds like something my brother Tony up in queens could use. You see he’s in for the fight of his life right now with the battle of the bulge. He’s not a weight trainer like me, but he dose manage to do some pushups and crunches and Life Cycle cardio. I have a better than average knowledge of exercise and nutrition, I explained to him the yes and no’s, do’s and don’ts, myths and facts, pro and cons of exercise and nutrition. He listens to me since I have never drank, smoked, or done any drugs. I am guilty though of eating junk food and being over weight. Well what can I say nobody’s perfect! My brother is diabetic and so am I, but I no longer use any type of medication. I control my diabetes with proper exercise, and nutrition and lost close to 60 lbs of fat without losing a whole lot of muscle in 1 year. I have about 25 lbs left to lose, but I expect to be ripped and shreded by mid summer. I just have to amp up my cardio a bit in the morning hrs. I’ve coached my brother into losing 35 of his 320 mark, but his wife tells me he’s starting to eat junk food again. I told her that I explained to him its ok to eat what he craves once in a while just don’t over do it and do an extra 20 minutes of cardio on his Life Cycle on that day while watching TV. Maybe ( Joel Marion’s Videos ) can provide some extra help. Let me know when they are posted. Thanks you for your services Lee! You are greatly appreciated for the fitness knowledge you provide us with.
Robert Valdes } I’ve done all I can for my brother and will always be there for him. I want to win for him, for his life, for his family. He won’t go to your web site. He’s very stuburn. Even if I don’t win I can’t afford to buy your plan right now. He is a junk food eater. I pray for his health. Thanks for your services Joel. Keeping us fit & healthy. You are blessed. Good job Joel!

At the age of 67 I think we can safely say that when it comes to dieting I’ve “been there, done that and got the tee-shirt”. In fact I’ve got enough tee-shirts to clothe a small African country.
But now I’ve got 2 (and a half) of the most beautiful grandchildren in the world.(What’s that you said? Sorry, Honey, yours might be very cool, but mine are the BEST!)
And I want to live long enough to love their children, too. But, as my (v. thin) doctor keeps pointing out, with, I’m sorry to say, a distinctly malicious smile, if I don’t shed the 30 unnecessary pounds, my hopes of enjoying my great-grandchildren are pretty slim (unlike my good self, who am neither pretty nor slim.)
So what can I do?
Shall I spend whatever time I’ve got left on the old Diet…..gain, Diet…..gain treadmill, feeling resentful, miserable AND a failure? Or shall I grab the opportunity to CHEAT!CHEAT!CHEAT! my way to health, and hopefully longevity, by eating food I love as well as the food that I KNOW is good for me?
As my little granddaughter says, “It’s funny, Ninny, isn’t it?” “What is, Darling?” “”Well you know you’ve taught us that some foods are healthy and some are not healthy? Well, Billy and I seem to like all the unhealthy ones MUCH more than the others.! That’s a shame, isn’t it Ninny?”

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings!

SO, I can’t WAIT to start. Bring it on and let me ENJOY getting on the scales for the first time in 67 years!

Wendy

I received some of your email from a friend of mine ray and all I have to say is if your system works prove it I weigh 115lbs so let me be your guinea pig and test your system to make sure it works

Thank you for your time,
Michelle

During years of anorexia and bingeing, I denied myself food telling myself that I didn’t deserve it. When I would binge, it would lower my self-esteem even further. A year ago I was finally developing a healthy relationship with food when I became pregnant, prompting my long-term boyfriend to propose.

This tragedy drove my fiancee away, and I moved in with my parents to recover emotionally. The pregnancy and subsequent heartache have made me gain a lot of weight. I’ve lost my fiancee and child, but maybe with your program, Joel, I can get my body back.

I have been a supporter of this line of thinking for several years, i am excited that someone has finally researched, collated and put all this valuable information together. I have been hanging on every word.

I have denied myself everything that is enjoyable for almost my whole life, I would love to learn to eat healthy and yet sometimes dare to treat myself without feeling guilty.

Hi Joel,

Why I need this program? Simple – because dieting does not, has not and I don’t see that it will EVER work for me.

I eat very healthy but still don’t seem to be able to get the level of results that I’m looking for.

For me it is one of my top priorities in life to be in excellent health – part of that is being in touch with my body physically and spiritually; and to live WITH its natural programming and rhythms. What I’ve read so far in your updates says to me that this system of regulated eating (as opposed to dieting) works WITH your body’s natural strengths, programming and rhythms to produce the results I’m looking for and the results I think my body is naturally looking for – to be lean without the unnecessary torture and struggle of regular diets.

Your program is exciting and intriguing and opens up a whole new REALM of possibilities for being healthy – and for the reasons I just mentioned; I gotta have it!

I want this program not just for myself but for my sister aswell. She is about 20Kg overweight & I want to lose about 10kg. We have always battled with diets & can never stick to them. If we do this program together we can really motivate each other.
She has a goal to reach by October as she is going on a Road trip. And I just really want to help her reach her goal. I’ve always dreamt of a bikini beautiful body & I know if I use this program my dream will finally come true :-)

Gooday Joel, how’s it going? l would love a free copy of your system, l have an enlarged liver due to exess fatty tissue in the thing, it’s trying to push out of the bag it’s in, according to my doctor and the ultrasound, it gets pretty painfull, and although l’ve tried to diet ect, l can never seem to get that fat, to go away, l don’t really eat that much junk food now days, but don’t loose any weight no matter what l do, the Doc says, if l don’t lose 30 kilos the liver will become a real problem and l may need surgery, don’t mean to winge, but could really use your program, if it will help me, thanks Joel, see ya…………..Steve.

hi JOEL,

This would definitely be my saving grace, i am on my late 40′s and afraid that when i reach the age of 50, i’ll definitely find it hard to cope with all the pains i am experiencing right now. Add to that we have a family history of Diabetes…..as i have time and again tried everything to keep away from getting there….
i used to be 230lbs and trimmed down to 150lbs and i still need to lose more at my 5 ft height.

i’ve reached a plateau and find it hard to reach my goals…and so i am looking forward to that day when i can free myself from all the pains, hypertension, and hi sugar levels… by staying 100% fit and HEALTHY.
TO LIVE LONGER AND SIMPLY ENJOY LIFE WITH MY LOVE ONES!

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE!

I have always been on a roller coaster with my weight and the older I get the harder it is I need to get the fat off and be healthy. It is so hard just to lose 2 pounds at my age and in this phase of my life. I am also in sales and meet with clients all the time and want to feel good, look good and have the energy to help others. My life motto: Is to be of service to others and I believe the best way to be of service to others is by feeling good about myself and getting this weight off once and for all and have the energy to do so. I dream of the day of being at the perfect weight for me. Thank you for the opportunity.

Hello Joel,

My name is Sumeet, just entered my 30’s – I have a young family and have no time for intensive training. I have a normal 9-6 job working as a IT Professional sitting on my butt all day.

When I was single, I had lots of time to spend on myself, working out in the gym all hours of the day and night if I wanted to. When I got married, I prioritized my time differently to include my wife and family, and I neglected to keep my “me time” in my schedule to keep my body lean and healthy. There is nothing like single life to keep your butt in shape. As I got comfortable with married life, my body started to creep on some unwanted body fat. So, you see, I am just an average Joe with a normal life and a growing waistline.

Anything that can help me in getting back to the track would be appreciated. I also like the fact that there is science behind what you are saying.

If I am lucky enough and deserving enough to win a free program that would be great.

Best Regards,

Years have I fought this battle with my southern cultural programming. I am 40 years old and a training freak. I am in the military and try my best to keep up with the youngins. It gets harder every day. as I get a little older, I see it is getting more and more difficult for me to keep the weight off. The willpower required to survive with these young cats who eat garbage and still have six packs, while I can’t lose these damn love handles. I’m not bitchin, and i DO have willpower and discipline. I just need some real help. Thanks for listening.

It’s hard to fight nature. I’m pretty much an all-or-nothing sort of guy and have made my mind up to to get in shape. At the age of 43 I still look pretty good, but I don’t have the sort of physique that would turn heads. I want that to change. Not just in a vague sort of way, but with the goal that if I was going to bother with it at all I would strive for the look of a fitness model. All-or-nothing-at-all.

I’ve been working out using Craig Ballentyne’s Turbulence Training since the beginning of April and can already see changes taking place. This is exciting and really encourages me to continue and do better. I’ve even got a training partner who inspires me to get out of bed at 4:30 in the morning to join him in the gym at 5. Not wanting to let him down gives me the incentive to jump out of bed and not to hit the snooze alarm.

So far, though, “diet” has been the biggest challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I eat nutritionally rich foods and I know how to cook and prepare almost all my own meals. The problem I find is that I sometimes get side-tracked by well-intentioned friends and then beat myself up later for having fallen off the wagon. It’s like I can’t get over that hurdle of “you’ve broken your diet and failed and now it’s all over.” It’s a rather defeatest attitude to take, but once again, it’s another case of “All-or-nothing-at-all.”

What I need is a framework within which I can follow and NOT get freaked out by a momentary transgression. I like the idea of allowing a “cheat” to slip in without ruining the entire process.

I have a big extended family and family get-togethers, birthday parties and the like are difficult to avoid. I’d like to be able to go to those without thinking that I should have skipped the entire event for fear that it would have sunk my fitness routine. I don’t want to feel that if I keep to the letter of a nutritional plan that I have to exclude my friends and family. I don’t want people to think I’m being selfish by not celebrating their milestones with them, just so that I can slavishly follow a nutritional program.

To put it simply: Joel, I need your help!

When working out and eating right does not do the trick, What does? I am 54 F been working out my entire life,and gained weight with age (20lbs on a 5,4 frame is quite a bit.) My story matches yours and just ordered the power 90x workout as well.
Know about leptin,
If you have the secret, I want to learn about it. Thanks for the offer

Cheat your way thin sounds perfectly suited to my needs because of the following reasons. My wedding is scheduled to be held on the 14th of June and I’m only 23 (male) and am about 30-40lbs overweight (I’m 5’8″ and weigh 95Kgs! My ideal weight would be around 75Kgs). I have tried cardio but it didn’t seem to work because I did not seem to be able to follow a strict diet along with the exercise. I eat too much carbs (as carbs are an important and major part of the Indian diet). However I do not seem to be able to completely give up any of that good tasting food because eating tasty food is about the only enjoyable activity I’d sustained over 5 years of a rigorous undergraduate Physics program at arguably one of the best universities in my country. The extreme academic workload made me neglect my health. I am in desperate need for advice as I cannot even follow routine weight training instructions because I dislocated my left shoulder a few months back. So cardio + diet is the only way I’ve got and I absolutely need to lose at least 20lbs in the next month and a half to be able to look good at my wedding and hopefully for the rest of my life. If I’m successful, I’ll probably end up having a better sex life too. So this is really important to me and if you think your program can help me attain this goal and if I end up using your program and achieving my goal, I’d be indebted to you for life.

Hello Joel,
I am 60 years old & have been a “gym rat” for 40 years. I have always enjoyed working out with weights much more than aerobics. I have known diet is very important but (like you) have terrible long term willpower to stick to it. I travel extensively staying in alot of hotels making eating healthy difficult. There is so much great fattening food out there. Your program seems to be an answer to my problem. I think if I could lose 20 lbs. I would be in the condition I want (athletic for middle age, very good shape for a 60 year old).I have the exersize portion down, your diet with cheating will garuntee I reach my goal. Hope I win, Roger

Hey Joel,
I believe the cheat your way thin program would be a valuable asset to me. I have been a fat kid most of my life for as long as I can remember. After dropping from 445 to 165 almost 10 years ago after the passing of my Mom at 47 due to diabetes I swear to myself I would never let food control me. But due to the daily grind of life. I must admit I have given in to the cravings and have gotten back to 295 at the age of 39. I began a program earlier this year and with the help of friends, family and a belief in myself I am not at 260. Joel I believe the program would be a positive force in helping me get back to life and learn to live again. Healthy and happy. Thanks A J

G’day Joel,

I would love to win your program for my daughter. She has had a weight problem her whole life – has tried every thing going – but nothing has lasted. Then she gave up trying, especially when she found a fabulous man who didn’t mind the extra weight – he saw the beautiful girl inside.

But now they’re thinking of starting a family and I really feel she needs this boost to be as healthy as possible for her baby/ies. Here’s hoping..

Hi. Having read through your transcripts about the Cheat your way thin diet I am curious to see what exactly it entails. So many diets insist that they are “easy”, no weighing or counting calories and you can eat your favourite foods – not! My favourite foods are not cottage cheese and boiled turkey breasts. I find that when I embark on a diet I get totally obsessed with all the food I am forbidden to eat.
I am turning 49 this year and would like to follow a sensible eating plan that incorporates some of my favourite foods and allows me to lose weight without the diet taking over my life.
It would be great if I could win a copy because, although I am not allowed to mention it, the current exchange rate makes any American product very expensive!

Hi Joel

Why do I need your information on cheating my way thin? We are all human and we all cheat, when it comes down to our diet/lifestyle. Sometimes we just cant resist. We all have tried several diets/lifestyles and they are all healthy but they don’t consider the fact that we just can’t keep up that lifestyle for the rest of our lives. We NEED to enjoy life, we NEED to eat unhealthy food because it’s just so delicious. One comment implied that a cheat day becomes a cheat week and a cheat week becomes … (U know where I’m getting at).

I’ve watched your videos on the hormone leptin. It really opened my eyes and I think that it’s NECESSARY to cheat to keep the fat-burning going. (when done strategically, ofcourse)

The NEED to cheat is in our blood (dietwise), but how we can do this and still maintain fat-burning and staying healthy is something that U have and we WANT.

Thank you,

I’m one of those skinny fat people who look fine externally. Visits to the doctor and further analysis would surprise doctors and fitness trainers on my excessive fat content detrimental to my health. I tried fasting only to result in weight loss plateau and mental / eating disorder. I tried feeding only on solids and exercise hard, only to feel frustration and shame. I want to contribute to your success inventory so I could help myself and ones I care for.

Good morning :0) It has taken me many years to come to the point where I am ready for this information. I am now at the age of 57 awake to the fact that pills and potions, nor sitting on the coach will get me there. I have yo-yo’d through life in more than one way. I have hated myself, loved myself and now I love myself enough to actually read a book that will take me the rest of the way.

I have a new lifestyle, and a new way of looking at things and have taken back control of my life. This is why I believe strongly, your book will actually help me to go the rest of the journey. I am determined and open and also very humble.

thank you for the opportunity. Yes I know this is less than 250 words, but I am risking it :0)

blessings to you always
Vee

I need to see
one of three
What can you tell

Can I be slim

I need something as good as Cheat Your Way Thin as when I eat something I like, like pizza I have to eat 1 or 2 whole pizzas. I am currently overweight at 146 kg, currently attending Weight Watchers, and after being absent from Weight Watchers for 6 weeks where I sometimes ate healthy and sometimes binged on food I surprised myself by loosing 300 g during that 6 week absence. So I can see that your diet could do wonders for me. I have a high metabolism, but find it hard exercising due to an anxiety ilness. I want to loose all the weight without too much effort on my part, and get back the body I had when I was a very fit teenager, so that I can have hope of attracting my first ever girlfriend and following on from that a wife, as all the girls I am attracted too are hot, and considering I look crap, there is not much hope in that happening without loosing about 46 kg.

I am a 75 year old woman, recently diagnosed with diabetes, triggered by lead poisoning, contracted by drinking constantly from a souvenier coffee mug from Mexico that had a cobalt blue rim (the cause of the lead poisoning). Since my diagnosis, I have been advised to eat small meals often during the day with snacks in between, all with protein. This has caused me to gain 14 pounds. I was already 50 pounds overweight. I am extremely concerned about my health and my weight, and want to control them with diet and exercise instead of drugs. If your program works for me, it would truly be an answer to my prayers.

Hi Joel,

I would like to win a copy of “Cheat your way thin” as I am just coming up to my 60th birthday. I have been on just about every diet there’s ever been & every exercise program. Nobody could have been more committed, or more disciplined. I’ve found that diets come in three varieties: ones where you lose weight & it all comes back on again plus a few pounds; ones where you don’t lose any weight at all, & ones where you put on weight. Atkins comes into the 1st category & low-fat comes into the 3rd category. If I’d continued with the low-fat diet I would probably weigh 450 pounds & be a type II diabetic.

I used to do Callanetics, but when I did her cellulite reduction diet, all the muscle that I had built up in the previous 6 months disappeared in less than 2 weeks.

first of all im studing a degree in nutrition here in mexico, now to the point, i’m no diferent to the others at the fact that i’ve been training for years and anything worked the way i wanted, but i’am diferent in the fact that im still not tried of trying and fail, i do still have energy to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal, and so i think if this works, maybe i can put all that energy i still have to give this my best and if this works i’ll do my best so that more people give it a shot (my future clients), becuse achieving one’s goals its the very purpose of life itself and i know how frustrating can be “not to look or be looked the way you want” i need this, because i need to help myself in order to help others.

In the last two years my weight has steadily gone up, with stress and the resultant comfort eating despite trying to eat healthily, reduce portion sizes / sugar and all the other things always recommended.
For the first time in my life I wobble when I walk, I hate my body, avoid looking in the mirror, and get depressed every time I try and find ‘going out’ clothes, because I feel so bad. I have been forced to buy ever increasing clothes sizes, but I KNOW that I don’t have to feel like this!
I have been reading your updates with increasing excitement (ok, scepticism to start with I admit) as I can finally see a programme that seems to actually work! And work despite the constant work stress I’m under and all the eating out I tend to do as a result.
I’m so excited about this opportunity to learn how to implement your Cheat Your Way Thin programme and achieve the successes for myself, that I can see so many others have already.

Hi Joel,

I’ve been 1 of those ppl who have been overwt throughout their lives. Given my short stature, its horrible to be even slightly overwt forget abt the cool 40 lbs of extra wt that i was carrying till abt 6 mnths back. Since then I started browsing for all the available info on the net and soon learnt to separate flak from the real thing. I have been follwing good advice and doing great wrkouts ever since. The result has been a beautiful transformation and a loss of around 10 lbs. I’m definitely still very overwt but have started looking presntable. Future journey may not be that easy as i believe that ive lost all the fat that I could lose easily n what remains now is the stubborn fat which i will go to the extent of calling CHRONIC. Removal of this fat will definitely require some dramatic measures! Then I came across a statement – you can’t out work bad food. This definitely poses the biggest hurdle. Whenevr I talk to fellow strugglers they all say that a strict diet is the call of the day. BUT. BUT. My point is that they r still strugglers. If strict diet is the answer then why do I STILL SEE so MANY STRUGGLERS!!!! So, when I came across your write up, I found myself agreeing with each n every sentence. It answers all my inhibitions/questions regarding various diets and wt loss programms and MOST IMPORTANTLY – even though all of them are good on paper WHY THEY FAIL. your testimonil clips and write up on leptin reinforced my faith in this program further. When, people can go from size 12 to 4 in a matter of 16 wks what to say abt my poor 25 lbs or so. THIS PROGRAM IS DEFINITELY FOR ME.

Cheat Your Way Thin is the perfect weight loss program I have been looking for. Not necessarily for my self by mainly for my wife. She has struggled for years with her weight (after 4 kids) and after the death of her mom it was really hard for her. In July she was diagnosed as a diabetic as her mom was and that was a wake up call for her to lose weight. I have been an avid exerciser from time to time but have a pot belly for my small frame. My wife would ask me to help her but she doesn’t like supplements or protein powders. She is a person who loves to eat and that means “real” food. This would be the perfect life changing program for her and for me.

Hi Joel,

Thank for you the opportunity. I would like to win a copy of your program for the sake of my kids. My kids truly mean the world to me and I feel your program as described would show my kids that food is meant to be enjoyed and that you can still be/become/stay healthy. I worry sometimes as to the effects of plans that I have tried before and what possible unhealthy impact that exposing my kids to these plans. Low carb, no carb, low fat. What am i teaching my kids? If I don’t win that’s okay as I will buy you program anyways Again Joel Thank you for the oppotunity and look forward to the program

It’s obvious to me that you are very enthusiastic about the intelligent program you have devised and seeing your photos and your credentials it looks and sounds as though you are dead serious. That gives CONFIDENCE.
It also seems as though you will be there to support and steer your clients
through difficult times. That’s what everyone needs – ENCOURAGEMENT.
These are essential aspects to GET RESULTS.

I’m a fat guy, and I’m very skeptical of your program. Almost every day, I get fed a lot of hyped up bullshit from all kinds of websites, in all kinds of topics, promising this, that, and the other. Is this yet another money grabbing website? I challenge you to be different, and give me the chance to work my way to a better body. A body both noticed and envied by the people in my life. I have the discipline….will you give me the tools?

hey,
the reason i would want this book would be cause it would be able to show a lot of my family members and relatives that weight loss and a healthy diet can be accomplished without u having to lose your favourite foods. i’m generally an active person who loves to exercise and do a lot of other fun activities. there’s a tedency in my family for people to become fatter as they grow older and when they do try to lose weight, they start doing things based on the many myths they hear about this and that. i’ve been trying to tell them to change and to do certain things but it’s hard to change certain beliefs if u know what i mean. and with excess weight also come health problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and etc. this book would be really good for them. thanks for your help.

Hey Joel, Thanks for all the great information. I loved the update about the hormone Leptin. From day one of the updates I’ve been chomping at the bit for the program. Can’t wait til April 28th!!!!
The carb cycling and strategic, planned cheating make so much sense to me.
I need this program. I am a 35 year old mother of three , two of whom are teenagers. I sure don’t need to add a diet thats gonna make me even more crazy. Your program sounds like I can do it and still manage a hectic life.
I have about sixty pounds to lose and would desperatly like to be one of your success stories and a healthy role model for my family. I also want to share your program with my husband. He has been working so hard toward his fitness goals for about 5 months and it on this drastic bodybuilder “cutting diet”. I think your program is going to be his answer to reach his goals. We need access to this information to achieve our dream bodies once and for all. We want our hard work to get us results.
Jennifer

I have tried most diets over the years and have had some success but it has generally been short term and I then put on weight with interest. I also have learned the hard way that hours of aerobic training does not do it either! I want a program that takes into account body metabolism, hormones and that it is about enjoying what I am doing so it is sustainable. Cheat your way thin sounds like just the thing for me and I would love to be chosen and be a success story for Joel

I would really love to have this knowledge, so that I can lead a normal life and not worry about what I am eating all the time, feeling guilty, and never keeping the weight off for long. Like everyone else, I have tried lots of different diets all through my life, but at age 55 I need to find a better solution.

Also my husband and I are going on a long awaited trip to France and Europe for 3 months – I need to have this knowledge well before I go so that I can enjoy the food (and wine – is that allowed?) and not put on extra kilos of body fat which would really spoil this holiday. I want to fell good about my body for once in my life.

I so want to get my weight issues under control and am trusting that this system can help me.

It has been a tedious journey, I must admit. From a jumbo 105Kgs with a blowing 40″ waistline – not to mention the bull-sized thigh-hip combo – a complete lack of self confidence, and an ever-bloating feeling of “never-will-achieve-anything”, I guess I been able to defy almost all the odds that I could realistically think of.
The end result that I don’t have in hand, but am experiencing, has a value no money can ever dream of buying. Down to an awesome 70kg and a never-imagined 30″ gut, complete with a four-going-on-six-pack, and a rocking bod, the transformation has been no less than incredible.
But a human, is a nasty conglomeration of ungrateful fattabolism.. never to rest until ALL the impossibles have been completely ingested.
I, being the perfect example, would get the most out this “cheat-ful” program as it has been almost an year since I put the embargo on my system and vowed never to touch fries or soda again (which btw, is STILL very much valid), and am still THAT much away from my dream-II body – dream-I was going shirtless on the beach!
The journey has given rise to a hidden remote control to my body which I never knew existed. This program would be the batteries to that remote, with a life-time warranty… hopefully (read, surely) getting me more than the hyped six-packs, and a more chilled-out track of achieving a life-lasting healthy body and mind.

Hi Joel

My 30 year old daughter is autistic and has been battling with her weight for around 12 of those years. Around 4 years ago she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She has enough problems to deal with especially when she is in public without having the added problem of being so overweight. She has tried programs that calorie count, the points systems, and many other programs including Jenny Craig. Although Jenny Craig was very helpful, she gained back the weight lost, and then some, as soon as she went off the program. Cheat your way thin could just well be the answer to one of her problems.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

We all know really that all the usual diets are just temporary things that we find difficult to stick with long term because they aren’t part of the life we want to live. The only way to loose weight and to keep it off is to be able to live our normal life, and also have our “indulgent” meals and foods. The “Cheat Your Way Thin” programme sounds like the best and most effective way I’ve heard to blend “real life” with fitness and weight loss. So I’d love the chance to put it to the test for my wife and I, living life and also keeping the weight under control.

Mr. Marion,

I have followed and enjoyed your work since you became a T-Nation contributor years ago. I had great progress with your “Ripped, Rugged, and Dense” routine.

The biggest problem I’ve had in adhering to a diet in the past has been family. I have two beautiful children, who I love to take to places like zoos, museums, theme parks, etc. Sometimes planning my meals and packing along a cooler of chicken and broccoli just didn’t work out. I’d end up eating what the kids ate, and then scrapping my diet completely because I felt I was spinning my wheels. My diet will never be more important than my kids, and with kids sometimes planning ahead just isn’t an option. Life is better when you can be spontaneous.

With Cheat to Lose, I feel like I can use planned cheating to schedule outings with my children, while still advancing toward my body comp goals. I can head off to the city without precooking and carrying meals, or not being able to share an ice cream cone with my 4-year-old daughter. I am disciplined for the most part, but enjoying food my kids like from time to time would be awesome for them and for me! Please consider me for a free copy of your package. Thank you.

Hi Joel
I would like to win this free copy of Cheat Your Way Thin as I have struggled to keep my weight down these past few months. I am a Personal Trainer and I also love to help people with their fitness and nutrition issues. I feel that I can’t do my job properly at the moment and my clients are the ones that suffer. I would like to learn how to become the best I can be so I can be a good role model for my clients and then they will be able to believe in me and also for my 2 teenage daughters. I want them to learn that in life we can achieve anything we want as long as we remain positive and work hard.

I probably have about 25-30 pounds to lose. I believe that this system will help me to lose the fat and have the body that I had a few years ago. Thankyou Joel for this opportunity.

Angie

Joel, I don’t want to give you some sappy story to tug at your heart strings…I already know you care greatly. It’s for my girlfriend…no matter what program we try we can’t get fat off her saddlebag hips…it’s developed big insecurities and hurting our love life…help me save our relationship! Thanks bro! – Nick

Hi Joel!

I’m a student in my final year of studies. And I’m due to be enlisted for my country’s compulsory military training in a few months. I’m overweight and I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight for the past 2 years. I’m very worried that I may not be able to get into shape before I’m enlisted. (My country just passed a law that requires unfit and obese recruits to serve an extra 8 weeks of training)

Anyway, for the past 2 years, I’ve tried many diet plans by some “experts” in the field. But I never managed to lose fat. Most of the time I’ll lose like about 5 lbs in the first weeks, then NOTHING for months. I do try to exercise but I almost always feel lethargic and unmotivated. After all, no matter what I do in the gym, my weight doesnt change.

I found this program convincing because I am, myself, a Biology major and I got so excited reading about Leptin and the Carbohydrate Cycle that I’ve done even more research into it (refering to some of your references). And so far, I’m convinced of the scientific basis of this programme. All I need now is to know exactly how to do it. Please, Joel! I need this!

Thanks!

WELL FOR STARTERS I’M A SGT IN THE USA. I’M OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND I FEEL THAT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE OF PACE. I’M CURRENTLY DEPLOYED AND IS HARD FOR ME AND EVEN MY WIFE WHO IS ALSO IN THE MILITARY TO TRY TO FOLLOW A HEALTHY DIET LET ALONG A WORKOUT ROUTINE DUE TO OUR DAILY SCHEDULE. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GO TO THE GYM AND ARE TRYING TO EAT MORE HEALTHY FOOD BUT IS BEEN HARD. DUE TO OUR 12 HOURS WORK SCHEDULE ( NOT TO MANY DAYS OFF) IS A LITTLE HARD FOR US TO GO TO THE GYM AND TRY TO WORKOUT AS MUCH AS WE WANT. OUR BODY ARE TAKING QUITE A BEATING OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I’VE BEEN TRYING TO WORKOUT REGULARLY BUT WITH NO RESULTS. SOMETIMES I CAN GO THE GYM FOR A FULL WEEK BUT SOMETIMES ONLY 2 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK. MY WIFE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET TO A HEALTHIER WEIGHT WITH NO RESULTS AND I’VE BEEN TRYING TO BULK UP A BIT WITH ALSO NO RESULTS. WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SEE WHAT RESULT WE CAN GET. WELL THAT IS ALL, THANK YOU…

You know, when I first saw the FIRST mention of your diet cheatyourwaythin I thought it sounded far too good to be true but you sounded so genuine that I wondered could this at last REALLY be the answer to my overweight problem? If only it was THAT easy. Well as I have read more and more as each `letter` and video comes in I have become more and more convinced that you REALLY do have the answer. What you have said all makes sense. I can help my husband get rid of the last little bit of belly fat and maybe share your ideas with my one son who has my genes plus the added habit like his Mom of craving things that make us fatter or keep the weight on despite exercise. I would absolsutely LOVE to share this with some huge people that I know here in South Africa if they want to (but then who doesn`t actually want to be slim?) I think to myself` this at last could be THE answer and an end to yo-yo dieting!! Won`t I feel great actually being slim and staying slim!!!! SO whether I get this free or have to pay I`m still going to go for it. I reckon that at 57 I owe it to MYSELF and I want to thank you for inspiring us all. It is very exciting!! I think you have stumbled on something life-changing-shaping and you deserve whatever good things it brings you. Roll on the 28th!! Regards, A plump Grandma

Dear Joel,
I came across your contest to win one of your three free copies of “Cheat your way thin” and wonder why should I win this contest. We all share the same aim, we all want to be fit and healthy and we all have been trying for years and falling of the barn wagon after a period of succesfull dieting or not. We all everyone of us who have wrote to you (I have read some comments above) deserve to win. Well my reason uther than the obvious need to lose a lot of weight (I’ve gained the last year about 35lb) and want to be more fit and feel better about myself is that as an health educator people look towards me for all the answer on health issues. Parents come to me for advise on health for themselves and their children.
When I look at myself in the mirrow I don’t like what I see. I have been informing myself and have ordered different diets the last year and have even achieved some temporary succes only to find myself back where I started before the diet and even more demotivated. Not long ago I came across your free email information and just reading it give me a better understanding of why all my endeavours failed before. I can’t wait to start your “Cheat you way thin” program. I hope by following your program I can also show those that come to me for advise that it is never to late to be in good shape, healthy and fit. I hope my example will motivate others to be fit and healthy also. I am fifty years old, and if I can do it anybody can.

Hey Joel. I have learned so much from your site. Especially about dieting. I have lived a long life as the chubby kid and have finally slimmed down now that I am 18. I have failed several diets and feel that Cheat Your Way Thin will help me lose the last 10 pounds. I am tired of eating diet food! I want to be able to at least eat some “good” food that way I won’t get bored of eating the same thing over and over again. I am right now saving up for college. I start in Fall of this year and don’t have much money to be spending on these great programs. Winning a copy would help me stay fit in college and avoid the infamous “Freshman 15.” I have truly learned a lot from the tips that you have given and I am sure everyone else has as well. We have all worked hard, and valued your tips. A copy would mean a lot to me. But in all honesty, after reading the replies, every one of these people deserves a copy. Good luck choosing.

Ive been training for about 3 years and still haven’t seen the results i wanted. I would love to win your book. It will help me big time because my best friends wedding is coming up on july 4th and i wana look hot. I also wanna keep at my goal weight. My major problem is my stomach area. Plus my mum just quite smoking and i wanna help her out as much as i can. So with you choicing me, your also helping my mum out.

Hi Joel, Why I would like “Cheat your way thin” because I’m a 36 year old female who Tired Tired Tired TIRED a couple of years ago I had well a wee bit of a break down caused by none other than the big “S” Stress I put an amazing 13kg on in a matter of 2 months! and ever since I’ve been trying to shed myself of this unwanted “ugh”. I like others have tried several thousand Diets and guess what nothing has worked I’ve been to the quack and they tell me I’m fine I even used durimine in a desperate attempt to get rid of my blah fat….I’m desperate and well ready to give up for good I need Help can you please please Joel Help me Joel!

Hi Joel,
Thank you so much for the information you have provided the past days. I have had to be careful what I eat since quite young. Weight just seems to keep finding it’s way back on. At 51 it has almost been my lifes ambition to find a diet that will work for me and that will allow me to just get on with living. I have successfully been able to lose weight several times but once I have got to my correct weight and started eating normally – even healthily – it would go back on. I have tried working out the correct protein, carb and fat ratios and spent many months trying to see if that is the clue I needed – but all to little avail. I have been vegetarian/vegan and even without eating high fat foods my weight still creeps up. I attend the gym regularly, I swim and I cycle but still extra weight seems to think it is my best friend!! If you have the answer I need, I would love to use it and would be most appreciative. It would be so wonderfu to be able to say that at last I have found the answer to my life long quest – that is, a way of eating that will keep me feeling good, help my self esteem and help me to just go on living and enjoying life without concerns about putting on weight AGAIN !! :-)

Hi Joel

I started working out and following a very healthy diet when I was 16, and kept myself in really good shape for a couple of years. However, after continuous pressure from my industry (I used to be a fashion model) I developed an eating disorder, yo-yoing between starving myself for days at a time and then binging and purging.
I am now doing much better, having quit modelling and listening to the people in my life who love me (whether or not I have the perfect body.)
I have put on 12 kg in the last 2 years. This doesn’t make me overweight as I was so skinny, but I still want to get myself into the best shape possible in a way that is healthy both physically and mentally.
As you can imagine there is a lot of guilt, low self-esteem and even self-hatred that comes with having an eating disorder and I think it is very important for me to find the correct eating program to ensure that I continue my recovery and don’t “fall off the wagon” at the first sign of stress in my life (its easy to get better when you’re happy, right?)
I do work out 4 -5 times a week and try to keep a good diet, but still sometimes alternate between trying to eat “normally” and then under-eating as a result of guilt and fear.
I would really appreciate your help!

I Didn’t have a weight problem until I had kids.My weight returned pretty much to normal after the first 2 pregnancies. However after the second two babies were born(four babies in 5years.) I could not lose the weight.In 2005 I left my very abusive husband and found myself alone in a new town with four kids under 6yrs. I joined a gym and lost 28kilos, my problem is I CANNOT lose my flabby belly. I currently do 6 spin classes, 2 bodypump with heavy weights, a step, 3 Reformer pilates and free weights as well as running around after 4 young kids. My diet is clean; 6 small meals all the right things. but I go great for 5-6 weeks and then I cheat and feel guilty same old story.If I had permission to cheat and not feel guilty I can’t imagine how good that would feel.CHEAT YOUR WAY THIN sounds too good to be true but i WANT to find out for myself.I’m so sick of spending sooo much time in the gym and noy getting the results I want >Hey I’m nearly 42 and I want to find another partner but my belly issues DO MY HEAD IN and I’m not confident to get out there and meet new people.

Dear Joel,
I´m not overweight (in fact, I lost 15 kg last year with Metabolic Balance) but I´m literally fighting with the last stubborn 3 kgs of fat (which would bring me from 10 to 8% bodyfat). As carbo cycling works best for me, your new program might be thr right one for me.
Best regards,
Andreas (training for Ironman 70.3)

For somebody like myself, I think the book would teach me how to satisfy my cravings and at the same time still follow a healthy diet on a day to day basis. I have tried so many diets & I will lose the weight for a couple of months then it slowly creeps back. I think the main reason is I grew up with rice , bread & pasta which reminds me of my growing years and that warm feeling being with my family back home. If there is a way I could incorporate these foods without guilt & still lose the weight then I’ll definitely spread the word about your book. It’s never easy to lose weight specially after age 35 & even harder after 40—right now I’m open to one that works. Thanks for all your help in your e-mails. More power to you.

Hey, I’m fat! Why not!?

Hello Joel,

I’m an old school weightlifter who’s finding out that I don’t have to hammer the weights for an hour and I’ve learned that there’s ways to keep constant pressure on your weights. (Thanks Nick) And I’ve learned that I can lose weight without starving myself. But mainly I’ve learned that even old dudes like me can still learn new ways to take the work out of workouts. I’m really anxious to see and learn what you have to offer, and if it’s like what we just saw then I’m going to be back in the swing of things again. But the sweet part about this type of diet, I can stay at the weight I want without those dang love handles.

Thanks
Gator

Hi Joel..your blogs and videos gave inspired me to try and reshape my body and get healthy from the inside out.I’m a typical overweight Irishman and I need the guidance from you to help me get where I want to go. I struggle not to carb it up when I’m in the mood so your plan sounds perfect for me. I think it will revolutionise weight loss and I wish you the best of luck with it. Kind regards
Damian

I’m a 42 year old father of 2 young boys and have been overweight to a greater or lesser extent since I was 7 or so. Over the years I’ve been an intermittent trainer with an all or nothing mentality. When I go for it I give it my all but inevitably something will slow me down or stop me in my tracks. In the last year I’ve been getting closer to where I need to be in health / fitness terms. I want my boys never to experience the misery that weight issues have brought me for over 35 years. I want to be fit enough to play with them for as long as possible. Nutrition is definitely the weaker side of my fitness efforts and your programme looks like a bona fide way to get and stay lean.

Cheers – James

Hi Joel,
I have been very happy to read about `Cheat your way thin’, as even not cheating is not helping me to loose weight. I am 56 yrs. and am hypothyroid, hence it is very difficlt to shed weight. I would like to live a healthy life and be young all my life and to full fill this wish I am doing Gym and diet and what not but to no avail, so if your book can help me achieve my goal…….

My name is Rich White and I am 17 years old. I just wanted to tell you a little about myself and explain why I posted this.
About two years ago I underwent reconstructive surgery on my right shoulder which put me out of athletics and cardio for a very long time. I put on a substantian amout of body fat and became very depresses. I reached about 215 pounds, 45 pounds overweight at a young age. The point where I felt like I hit rock bottom was a very sad time for me, until I decided to turn my life around. I have a strong heart and determination to complete obsticles placed in front of me so after countess reasearch, reading and studing nutrition I set a goal for my self. I had no real support or help, I just had myself to get through the pain and harsdships. I am proud to say that I completed my training and it has been one of the hardest times of my life, but it just shows my passion and dedication. I dropped to 155 pounds with 6% bodyfat.
For me it has been extremely emotional, knowing that very few people can acomplish what I have. all the sweat, all the pain, all the temptaions to quit. I never quit and never gave up on myself. this brings me to the reason for contacting you.

Once I reached my goal I realized that everything I worked hard to burn off, I gain back so easily. It is because the diet I followed so strickly made my body very sinsitive to carbs and fatty foods. I cant seem to enjoy myself anymore with out gaining fat very easily. I need a new program to follow that helps me still be a teenager again. I have worked so hard and dont want to lose all i have worked so hard for. I sacraficed so much and put forth a huge effort, now it feels impossible to maintain because the program makes me feel like i am starving myself. I am drained of energy and lack happieness. I want to feel like a teenager again and I wan to show people another success story for cheat your way thin. Thank you,

Rich

I hope through this email you can atleast see a passionate and dedicated person to a healthy lifestyle. My name is Rich White, I am 17 years old and My dreams and goals have been set infront of me to acomplish. I just need some guidence with the Cheat your way thin diet that I have the dedication to follow.

I am a 53 year old with two children–ages 22 and 14–and a student. I eat nutritionally well balanced meals, limit what I eat, do not care for sweets so much, walk regularly, exercise…well, you get the idea. I have been dieting and working my butt off since last November and have a lost a total of 15 pounds. Now I seem to be stalled out. I haven’t lost a single ounce in 3 weeks. I want so badly to take off another 40-50 pounds, but looks like I am stuck. Your diet, from what I have read and heard so far, looks like a perfect fit for me. I would love to give it a try! Just so you understand, I have never weighed more than 120 pounds in my entire life and I am just devastated!

Cheat your way thin would be very beneficial to me. I excercise fairly regularly and am on and off the low carb dieting and have lost about 20 kilograms in three years. Thing is, when the cravings get me down I binge on all the carby things I missed. Now I understand from Joel that my body needs those carbs to increase leptin levels but, obviously, I need to learn how to cheat to my benefit by carb cycling. The low carb days will be easy for me because I am used to them already. I would like to prove Joel right by trying out his methods and succeeding in losing another 15 kilograms in the next few months. So how about it Joel?

Joel

I recently turned 45 and am 13kg overweight. My problem is a sweet-tooth and also the good things that you binged on, like pizza’s. I have tried a few diets, but like you said, they are boring and never become a way of life. Your programme appeals to me as it caters for my indulgences, therefore making the effort worth-while and the results are guaranteed. At this age it does become more difficult to motivate oneself to these efforts and when results are guaranteed, then the motivation is established and I would love to have a fit body soon and maintain it into retirement. I hope to become a grand-parent one day and have the energy to play with my grand children.
Thanks for the offer.

(trying one last time)
During years of anorexia and bingeing, I denied myself food telling myself that I didn’t deserve it. When I would binge, it would lower my self-esteem even further. A year ago I was finally developing a healthy relationship with food when I became pregnant, prompting my long-term boyfriend to propose. We were deliriously happy, however my body was not ready to carry a child (I was very weak and sickly), and I had a miscarriage at three months. This tragedy drove my fiancee away, and I moved in with my parents to recover emotionally. The pregnancy and subsequent heartache have made me gain a lot of weight. I’ve lost my fiancee and child, but maybe with your program, Joel, I can get my body back.

Hi Joel, This program would be PERFECT for me at this very point in time in my life as I’m going to live in Brazil next week for most of the rest of this year, and the food over there I find very challenging to stick to my regular routine of food. My beautiful mother-in-law does all the shopping and loves to show her love by buying & cooking lots of cheat food and aside from tasting good it’s hurtful to her when she sees me not enjoying any of the food either because I feel guilty eating it or it’s just food that I’m not used to. If I could get ahead mentally and emotionally in a place that puts me completely out of my comfort zone anyway, to be prepared with all my food choices would allow my time in Brazil to be so much happier and more relaxed. The times that I’ve been there before, food has become a major issue and I’ve gotten to the point that I physically couldn’t eat at all and got really sick because I was very confused and lost with the choices I should make about what I could and should eat. If I could be happy with a great plan, not only to lose weight, but to live my life with freedom, and in a country that I find difficult to “live” in would save me beyond words. I need the lessons to help me in more ways than one.
Thanks Joel for all that you’re doing and giving back to the world of health and fitness. You offer a tremendous support and hope that the journey to health doesn’t have to be riddled with guilt and “oh my goodness, now I will pay for eating that” thoughts and emotion all the time. Nikki

Hi Joel,

I like the name of your program, ‘Cheat Your Way Thin’. It says it all. I hate diets. I don’t like to be restricted on the type of food I eat. I’m not a regular exerciser, partly because I don’t have the energy and partly because I don’t enjoy putting myself through pain. I’m not against exercising, I’m just not a no pain, no gain person. I fasted yesterday for 24 hours, I was in agony. I just wanted to eat. I’m about 50 pounds overweight. If I can find a way to cheat my body and all the diets and body killer exercises out there, sign me up man. So I would love to ‘Cheat My Way Thin’ Joel. Thank you.

I want to be thin and eat Pizza. Yes, I’m a lazy son of a gun and I want 6 pack abs and 6 slices of deep pan every now and then. I’m happy to hit the gym and put some effort in but Man – I can’t live my life on lettuce and celery, it’s just not right. Cheat Your Way Thin is just what I need to get the physique I want and remain in the world of the living not join the world of depressed salad bashers. If God had wanted man to live on Rabbit food he wouldn’t have invented pasta and burgers!

As an ex-yo-yo/serial dieter I KNOW diets don’t work! At 30 I was 17st (238lb) now at 48 I manage to bounce around between 11st – 11st. 7lb (154 – 161lb) I JUST CAN’T GET ANY LOWER!

Also, as a fitness professional – I’m a freelance fitness & weight loss coach – I need to be able to show my clients that there is a safe, sensible sustainable way of getting the fat off and keeping it off.

From what you’ve told us about Cheat Your Way Thin – it’s the only way to go!

Jo

P.S. I hope I’m not too late to enter!

Hi Joel, your programme sounds just about for me for the following reasons:

1. You’re a straight shooter, giving us the facts that most dare not!
2. You’re programme cuts through all the b.s. surrounding dieting and weightloss!
3. You’re an honest guy, demonstrating that you’re like us, making mistakes and being tempted!

I could probably say a lot more, but this is in my opinion the essence of your programme.

Hi Joel
I bought your book Cheat to lose diet last year and loved it. My daughter and I tried the diet together and lost quite a few kilos but due to life being so hectic bla bla bla, I am sure you have heard that excuse before, we sort of drifted back to our old habits. Of course we put on a few kilos again. The good thing though is that after that great diet of yours, it creeps up very slowly. Maybe because we have learned a lot by going on that diet. You automatically eat more healthy foods and you know that to have a cheat day is actually good.

I would love to have a copy of your Cheat your way thin program. I now have the time to really get stuck into a program like this, to cook healthy foods and to help my daughter to lose more weight as she feels very unhappy about her weight. I am not mentioning money, but just wanted to say that because the company I worked for is under liquidation, I am now staying at home and have the time at last to really get stuck into a healthy eating plan. I have joined the gym and already feel so much better. My aim is to be a role model for my daughters and my grandchildren. Yes, I have 3 of them. I need to get healthy and I know my daughter will feel so much better if she loses all that weight. So being without work at the moment, now is the time!!!!!!!!!!
God bless

I have been leading a life of yo-yo dieting – losing a lot and gaining with interest. Many times of gaining with interest has made me morbidly obese. The only way out of this deadly spiral is to make a life-time change that I would be able to stick to. It sounds as if “Cheat your way thin” is just the way to do that.

Hi Joel,

First please allow me to say thanks for all the content you regularly send out via emails, Twitter, your website and other links. It’s informative, refreshing and fun. I has helped to keep me on track with training and eating right. And basically, it cheers me up!
Your content is always quality and common sense. That’s why I want to win a copy of Cheat Your Way Thin – I love your stuff! I will also say, I’ve had 10 years of training and dieting, with ok results, but I always hit a plateau at about 15% body fat, when I was aiming for 10-12%. With hard work and sacrifice I can keep it at 15%, for months even, but not get any further! So eventually I fall back to 20%+ before starting all over again. I think with Cheat Your Way thin you’ve cracked my kind of problem! I’m at 15% again as summer is arriving, so I’ve got my fingers crossed for the draw!

Thanking you,

Alan.

Dear Joel,

Firstly, I would like to say “Thank You” for the opportunity to participate in winning one of your programs.

So why do I need your program!?

I am an Aussie living in the UK and moved here about 4 years ago.

Over the past 4 years I have put on over a whopping 4 stone!

I am 35 and work as a Medical Rep. and believe this is one of the contributors to my weight gain. I do a lot of driving and could spend 6 hours driving to get to a meeting including an over night stay in a Hotel……dangerous stuff!!! Being constantly on the road I am always finding something easy to grab and I would like to take back control of my eating.

The weather I believe has played another part in gaining weight. As I come from a very HOT climate I am used to eating salads and fruit, where as in the UK you tend to gravitate to more warm comfort food.

But realistically, it has been MY choice to what food I put in my mouth and this is where I NEED your help!

I would be grateful for your expertise and education on food choices. After listening to the Teri Hilsman’s testimonial, I believe this will fit into my lifestyle perfectly.

I have trying for years to lose weight without success. My problem is that I have no will power and would probably be classed as a binge eater!! I need this kind of motivation to put me on the right path to achieve my ultimate goal – a lean, slim, fit, beautiful body which everyone dreams off and I hope my dream comes true!

Hi Joel
I bought a copy of your “Cheat to lose” book about a year ago and my daughter and I tried the diet together and we loved it. We lost quite a few kilos but due to life being so hectic bla bla bla, I am sure you have heard that excuse before, we sort of went back to our bad habits and the weight started kreeping up again. But thanks to your great diet it creeps up very slowly, I think we automatically eat more healthy foods and we know that a cheat day is allowed.

The company I worked for is now under liquidation, I am not mentioning money :-), in other words I am at home now and now is the time to get stuck into a healthy eating plan. I now have time on my hands to study the material and really get stuck into it. My main aim is to lose weight of course but also to help my daughter, she is overweight and very unhappy about it. I want her to have a better self image by helping her to go on a healthy diet. We have joined the gym too. All I need now is your program.

I wish to be a healthy role model for my daughters and my grandchildren. Yes I am not a spring chicken anymore, but I have to same wish as the young people out there. To be healthy and to look good

God bless
Ursula

Hi Joel,
I have tried everything. And it’s NOT that I haven’t succeeded! I’ve got will power in bucket loads and I won’t accept failure until I reach my goal. It’s just that, like you say, my body won’t accept diets long-term and I’ve found out that all that effort still resuts in failure and even bad health. I’m a female figure competitor & aerobics instructor. I need to look good all year round. I’ve been struggling to keep by BF% below 17% with every method out there and I developed Adrenal Fatigue, cessation of monthly cycles, and a metabolic meltdown. I can’t maintain it for a longer time. I’ve almost given up, since it seems to be a choice between a miserable life and more than 20% BF. I think (I hope) CYWT will be the answer to being THIN & HEALTHY! I think there must be many more people out there like me, and I can’t wait to find something that works for us.

Joel, my jaw dropped when I read about your program a week ago, (by the way it’s still is!!), and I think It won’t close until I start doing this program and prove to myself that it actually works. Mind you everything you said makes sense as I’ve read somewhere that you need to shock your system now and again by eating more calories. The problem is that when I’ve tried to do that I don’t know when to stop eating. I love the taste of real food and I love the thought that you say I can eat it every week even more! I’m definitely going to try your program even if I don’t win and hope to be on your list of achievers, and be living proof that I can lose weight, look good and feel good
even at 53!

I’ve been on an exercise program for 3 months, and have seen a lot of results; however, I’ve not been following any special diet, mostly because I hate counting, measuring, and weighing foods and shopping for special ingredients, so my results haven’t been as spectacular as they could have been. (Plus, I live in Japan, so I can’t get things that are in common US cookbooks–an excuse, I know!) I noticed that some days when I eat more, I have a lot more energy, but I don’t know the proper way to plan cheat days and carb cycles. It seems “Cheat Your Way Thin” is exactly what would help, and is a program designed for someone like me who has “calorie-counting phobia”!

Hi Joel, thanks for giving us a chance to get your program for free. I am interested in your program as it basically helps me make life bearable. cheating two-three times a week and still being able to lose weight is what life is about. It is living. On the flipside, looking forward to nothing but bland,tasteless and boring food for the rest of my life is not an option that I can bare. This a chance to basically eat well and hopefully enjoy at the same time.

All the best Joel,

Sanjeeb

After years of struggling with my weight, being picked last for sports and staying home alone on friday and saturday nights I have decided I dont want to be the jolly fat guy any more. I need to make a positive step to change my life and prove to myself and everyone else that I can be like them. Having tried all the usual diets and put the weight back on, then I read about your system and all the testimonials from happy customers. I truly think Cheat Your Way Thin is what I have been looking for and can help me make positive changes to achieve the body I have always wanted.

Joel:
I have been watching your videos and am very excited to hear the details of your program. When I was 41, over a period of a year and a half, I lost a total of 135 lbs on my own, in my home while caring for my Mom who had been very ill. I worked out every day with a tread mill, pilates and weights and on the weekend when I could get out a bit I would do a 20 mile bike run. I returned to school part time after 27 years, and was called the muscle woman. After three years, I crashed. Stress and an old injury to my ankle took over. I have since then gained the weight back. I have been trying to “regain what I lost”, over the past year or so. Working in a Nursing home I find it so difficult working with this weight on.. I have saved all my clothes, that are a size 6, and regaining the body and energy I once had is something that I must accomplish. I feel with your mentoring this could be a reality again. For the first time since I’ve gained the weight I feel I could really lose it again.
Josephine K.

I love my food! I can think of few things I enjoy more than sharing a meal with family and friends.
I love to be fit and healthy! I want to provide an example of a fit and healthy lifestyle to my family and friends.
I’d love to Cheat My Way Thin and enjoy sharing delicious food and a healthy lifestyle with the people that are most important in my life!!

Hi Joel
I need a copy of your “Cheat your way Thin” not for myself, but as a gift for my mother who has been struggling with weight loss and gain since I can remember. My mom needs to loose about 65 pounds as she is currently suffering with a multitude of illnesses that are putting her life at risk. She has begun exercising almost daily with limited results due to her bad diet (Starvation mostly) and all the dodgy fad diet programs and pills she put her faith in. Her system is a mess!

I know her story is one suffered by thousands, no millions of folk who have been basically abused by the media. I would love to give her the gift of a lifestyle eating formula with a support system of yourself and people like her around the globe, that will enable her to finally gain the success at fat loss that she deserves so she can live healthy, happy and long. I am a convert! as I was introduced to this way of “treating / cheating” by your friend Vince Del Monte with great success. It has enabled me to reach goals I never imagined. If all the governments around the globe implemented nutritional education at schools that followed these principles, we would be open to a new generation of Spartans!

Hey Joel

I would love to win a copy of your programme because it sounds like everything that my current regime is not! It sounds like fun, has flexibilty and is easy to stick to and best of all has variety. Diets are so bloody BORING!!! I love exercise and eat pretty well but I have some extra weight / body fat that will just not shift no matter what I do. I loved reading the theory behind the practice for your diet – it makes so much sense to me – and not just because I know I’ll be able to eat pizza again!! But on that matter – pizza is one of my favourite foods – I’ve not eaten one in over a year because I think they’re ‘bad’ for me. I’d love to win the tools to get me out of this boring approach to my health and life! Thanks for this chance to win your system – fingers crossed!! Jen :-)

Hey Joel, I’m 40, spreading in the middle, and yet raining like a pro to no avail. I coach rugby, underwater hockey (in a speedo, so no hiding failure here) and would love to be an ambassadore for your programme.
Cheers
Theo

Joel, currently I am working the life style program established by Holly Rigsby. I have been doing this for almost 6 weeks now but still struggle with my planned indulgences. I really want to get a handle on how food affects my body and how to use it to enhance weight loss. I has struggled with my weight and food issues for as long as I can remember. Your program almost sounds too good to be true and honestly, I want to know what it can do for me. I love to eat, I love to tinker with recipes and I want to learn to really enjoy what I am eating. I am a closet eater, I hide the food that I know is bad for me from others. I want to be able to bring it out into the open and really enjoy food with my family and friends.

Joel, five weeks from today I’m getting married, I need it I need it I need it. I’ve been dieting (and training) for months now and although I’ve had some success and I’m on the right path I’ve hit a wall and can’t seem to get any further no matter what I do. Honestly, I really do need this!

i am skinny fat – 41 years old and altho i look pretty good in clothes its jiggly underneath……i eat 4-5 times a day i exercise and i do all the right things or so i thought but i cant get lean – i need some help perhaps this is the answer.

HI Joel,
i’ve been playing sports since i was born, yet i’m still the same weight. It’s hard for me to gain weight however its even harder to shed weight. I’ve tried so many diets, increased my training intensity and even started gym but to no avail. Just lost 3 kgs over a year and that’s all. THing is that I have this condition in my knees and since i’m training hard & on different surfaces they give me quite a lot of trouble. I just want to try something that will FINALLY work!!

Short and Sweet. I train my butt off but looking at me you’d think I’m just an average Joe. I’m not getting much results for my endless effort in the gym. I think “Cheat Your Way Thin” can HELP me start seeing some REAL results.

Hi Joel,
I am a Nutritionist based in Sydney and predominately work as a weight loss coach. I am a keen enthusiast and passionate about helping others to lead a better and healthier life. I have noticed that most of the success achieved from weight loss programs comes when they are not too restrictive and when people can actually have a mix of nutritious foods and much loved ones. I would love to have a look at your program and be able to introduce it over here. I respect the results that you have achieved personally and those for others. You have a wealth of experience and it shows in the quality of your material. I look forward to hearing back from you. Cheers.

This program would be great for me because for years I have been a yo-yo dieter and an emotional eater and with the cheat days it would be perfect because then I wouldn’t feel guilty about falling off yet another diet. It’s always junk food when I do. But I wouldn’t be, I’d still be on the diet. I Know that having no guilt associated with so called bad food would be so liberating.

I just had my 57th birthday in March and I have always struggle with weights throughout my life since I was 6 years old. I was within my target weight three times in my life. The first time was through crush diet when I was eighteen. The second time was at 24, due to depressions after I broke up with my first boyfriend. The last time was at 48 when I spent a lot of money on meal replacement shakes and vitamins.

I realise they were not the right ways to loose weight. So I joined the gym last July, but things have not improved very much. At this moment, 5 ft 2 inches, 140 lbs, I am none the wiser.

You copy of “Cheat Your Way Thin” may shed some lights to end my life long struggle with weights.

Hi Joel, thanks for taking your time to do this. Since i was in school ive been bullyed mainly- my weight, iv’e always been fat. Ive tried diet pills and calorie reduced diet (with exercise) but the weight always comes back on. As an army reserve its even more embaressing that im actually reasenably fit too. I want to be a PTI but until i lose some weight about 25lbs, i wont be considered for the course. Your program is perfect for me, as i can work on my cardio on any day of the treat your way thin program. No fitness ‘expert’ has ever suggested carb cycling to me or told be about the body response to dieting (leptin). Your help would be greatly appreicated

Over this past two weeks I’ve read all your emails, blog posts and special reports. And I really can’t express how excited I am about your program. To say I’m like a kid on Christmas morning would be an understatement. Actually, I feel more like Santa Clause on Christmas morning.

You see, I have a thirty year old daughter and she very much overweight. She’s been struggling with her weight all her life. When she was younger, we didn’t make a big deal about it, like most parents, we thought it was just baby fat and she would manage it as she gets older – well that hasn’t happened.

Neither I nor her mother has ever had problems managing our weight so we really don’t know what she’s going through first hand. I’ve been involved in athletics all my life, now I coach teenage kids and do boot camps. I’ve tried so many times to get my daughter to come out and train with me but she never takes up my offer. As a father, I’ve done all that I can to provide for my kids. I hoped they would grow up to be happy and productive adults. So, it is an unbearably painful experience for me, to helplessly watch my daughter suffering and not be able do anything to help her. It’s like watching her drowning and not having a life line to throw to her. Well Joel, I truly believe that your “Cheat your way thin” program is the life line for my daughter. And that’s why I’m so excited. I honestly believe I can now save my daughter and that my friend, is priceless!

Dear Joel, i have been watching and waiting for you to announce when your program is ready to be purchased and tonight I decided to check my junk mail box and there was this email. i USED to be a lean, fit, energizer mommy and NOW after being put on Testosterone and then taking myself off of it as I started to gain oodles of fat and weight I am VERY upset with my body as it doesn’t matter how much I exercise, how little I eat or how many programs i have started I just can’t seem to lower my BF % only increase it! The only thing that I am unhappy about in my otherwise wonderful life is the fact that I am not the slim and fit mommy that I use to be…i refuse to buy new clothes so I am always wearing the same jeans with different tops and I long to be able to wear my varied wardrobe. I have two beautiful daughters which are my miracle Angels as they are the only two to survive of the 10 pregnancies that I had. I don’t go swimming with them as I am embarrassed to wear my bathing suit. This summer my husband and I are taking our daughters to Hawaii for 10 days and my goal is to get back to my fit, LEAN me by August. Each time I have read and listened to your EYWT emails i have looked forward to each new one hoping that it would announce that your program was for purchase as i am desperately hoping that this is the answer to my prayers. I am scared to eat more but I am also motivated for this change to happen so I am putting all of my faith in you and I am very excited to begin this program as soon as possible! I read a lot and have been involved in fitness for most of my life but it is your program that makes sense and that i am eager to start!

two reasons – because i am a nice person which my 79 year old mother will support (i think) and because you will get a nice warm fuzzy feeling for helping such a nice person get rid of 10 kgs.

I’ve been very excited about this program coming, checking e-mails daily for your updates. Think all will agree that it’s fantastic to have a system that allows us to enjoy the foods we want without having to go through long drawn out denial, yo-yoing once it’s ended, the frustration of it all & the dreaded mood swings that go with restriction diets, basically making us & our families feel miserable. I can’t speak for all but I’m guessing that most of us at times feel that at least eating normally & with a slightly higher bf% is better than being miserable, cranky & a pain to live with at a lower bf%. I train very hard with both weights & with cardio but they can only do so much, nutrition is key & so I’ve tried all the latest diets to compliment my training, high protein, Low Carb/No Carb etc.. etc.. to try to trick my body to finally give up the pounds of bodyfat I need to look & feel good but to no avail. To win this would be amazing & if it was me I’d be your biggest advocate, whoever does win then congrats to them in advance as I believe this is one system that will truly work. Good luck everybody & well done on the hard work Joel. Andy

I definitely need this program. I have lost over 30 pounds, but still have about 70 more to lose. Also, although I have lost some weight, not as much as I would like of that loss has been fat. Recently my progress has not been as good, and I think that the Cheat Your Way Thin program would help me revive my weight loss, help me lose more pure fat, and keep me from being starved for the foods I like. I am over 50 and my metabolism could really use a boost.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Joel,
I would certainly love a copy of your “cheat” diet programme especially if I don’t have to pay for it. I am a 43+ yr old mom of three . My two youngest ( 6 and 5 yrs) are constantly in the baking mood with me whilst my 13 yr old is going thru a growth spurt at the moment which means non-stop eating! Fortunately, it’s not junk food that he wants but meals! Unfortunately, it means I’m in the kitchen for pretty much my whole awake time. I have gained back the 15lbs lost a couple of years ago and more and have mucked up my metabolism so much with the prolonged low-carb diet that I put myself on that I just can’t resist my carbs anymore! Plus, my hormones must also be wreaking havoc as I approach the big M. Because of that, I truly believe that your diet will fit me to a tee. Btw, since your mailer a few days ago, I have been working out religiously, priming myself up for the much anticipated weight-changing experience!

Hey Joel,

I’ve been trying to lose weight for 7 years now (since i was 13) I’ve always been bullied about my weight, I can put on muscle quite easily (Im an endo-mesomorph) but I’ve never been able to lose that body fat. My BMI is 26 and being a army reserve i don’t look the way i should. I would love to train as a PTI and maybe a fitness instructor as a civilian. But I’ve not been able to lose that fat.Your insights into carbohydrate cycling and leptin are completely new to me as no fitness professional has ever mentioned them to me. The fact as well that you transformed your own body and so you speak from experience is inspiring, Please help me Joel

Hi Joel

I think a copy of cheat your way thin would help me alot because I have been training for a few years now and I have seen little difference around my abdominal area. Also a few months ago i got injured during a rugby match and have been unable to peform at my best in the gym and its taking its toll more so around my abs as I am unable to run to burn off the excess fat I am gaining. Through my gym triaing I have tried many different diets (out of Muscle and Fitness magazine) and they dont work in the slightest for me, theres still that stubourn layer of fat that wont seem to go to reveal my abdominals. I have got the commitment 100 percent and combined with cheat your way thin I believe I will suceed in revealing the perfect six pack.

Thanks.

Hi Joel. I feel that this program would be PERFECT for me as I have tried many forms of dieting, exercise and NONE have worked for me. In fact, I gained weight from some too. I’m sixteen this year, and I would like to join the cheerleading team at school next year, to do that I have to be slim and light enough to be carried! I used to be of average weight but I have been rapidly gaining weight over the years without growing taller. I really want this to stop! I’m now overweight and I spend days depressing and pinching my fats because I always try to imagine how I would look if I were thinner. Also, I find buying clothes a dread because I always feel that I look horrible in anything because they feel so tight and uncomfortable. My friends are all thin and I feel fat beside them.
Lastly, having a free package would be everything to me because my parents restrict me from buying stuff over the internet as they fear scam. However, i trust this package, obviously and I am dying to get this as I know it will work for me. Everything just makes sense. Anyway, thanks for all the extra tips you’ve given us. I am extremely grateful! It will give me a fresh new life ahead!

Hi Joel. If your programme truly delivers, then I will be singing it to the many people I know who needs it. The truth is exactly what it is: you need to deliver. Your programme sounds promising, but many others also do….until you see the catch. I am wondering what your catch is and if that catch is truly for everyone. This is from someone whose reputation within the family and outside, has been the worst where weight control is concerned and I’ll always have my many stretch marks to remind me. I truly and honestly hope you are presenting a permanent solution to this weight dilemma and this is really all I wanted to say.

Hi Joel,

Your program, Cheat Your Way Thin gave back my hope which I’ve lost after all those diet programs I have tried in the past 25 yrs. I’m a 43 yrs. old woman. You name a diet, I tried it. It’s true, I’ve always lost some weight but when I cheated or I stopped because I coulnd’t keep it anymore, I gained back double weight. They were too strict or as in the end I learned the hard way, even caused damages. The result of my 25 yrs. insane dieting that I’m 255 lbs today. Scary! My problem became a vicious cycle. I cannot do sports because I’m too overweight. I studied so many different diets but something is missing. To be honest, when I read your first newsletters, I was sceptical again but when you wrote about this hormon: leptin, that convinced me! And that I can even eat a variety of foods, not only raw vegetables and fruits and lots of water, it’s just a cherrie on top of the cake! Finally this program sounds reasonable and not insane! I always knew that the solution must be simple! I believe, this is it! Hardly can wait to try it!

Thank you in advance….

Edit Varga

I’m a former marathoner and I use to be able to outrun a bad diet. Now things are different, I’m not running anymore and I’ve gained 50+ pounds. This weight gain makes it hard to train and do anything else hard to do except of course sitting on the couch eating cookies and washing them down with milk.

I’m wrting to you in the middle of the night because I have a hard time sleeping because I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my chest which prevents me from sleeping. Since the weight gain I’m always short of breath and honestly I beginning to get a little scared about my health. I’m 51, fat and feel terribly unhealthy.

I need help with this whole nutritional approach or perhaps even an intervention. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.

This diet is for me because, I think it follows a more natural cycle of humans. It allows for variety and full satiety along with recognizing and working in harmony with your naturally existing, programed mechanisms for survival. I am a “foody”; I love to cook and I love to eat “good” food. This diet allows me to enjoy my favorite foods in a natural “rhythm” througout the week and yet maintain an ideal weight for the level of fitness I want. The only thing I would change is the idea of “cheating” your way thin. I like to think of it as “Win Your Way Thin”. For me that’s “win/win”.

Thanks, Jerry

I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. It is especially difficult for me as I’m disabled so I’m not able to do any kind of execise that would make a real difference in terms of fat loss. So for me, the neutrician side is extra important.
I feel the Cheat Your Way Thin Program would really help me. I don’t have that many options when it comes to food, as I have to rely on the pre-prepared microwavable meals my sheltered accommodation provides – I am unable to cook independently. The Cheat Your Way Thin program would be flexible enough to stick to despite these limitations. This was never the case with other diets I tried.
It would mean so much to me to be able to feel and look good. I don’t want my disability controling this as well.

Hi Joel,

I’ve been yoyo dieting for about 4 years now. I have tried several different dieting techniques within this time. Within the first few weeks of each of these diets I have always lost fat but after about the third week I usually end-up overeating on guilt foods and quitting. Usually because the diets have been far too restrictive. When I have completed the diets and lost a significant amount of fat I have always ended-up putting the fat back on because they were just not a realistic way of eating in the real world. I don’t want to keep following this pattern anymore!

Over the years I have learnt how powerful carb-cycling and frequent refeeds are to successful dieting but I have never really understood why or how to apply these principles. I always thought that carb-cycling was just to refill muscle-glycogen and that re-feeds just offered a psychological break from dieting. I didn’t truly understand how these techniques influenced leptin production. I want to learn more.

Eating healthfully on a consistent basis and enjoying treats regularly is a sound way to not only becoming leaner but to also initiating a successful lifestyle change. I am eager to start applying your principles today. I hope that I have successfully been able to explain why I think I should be able to receive one of the three free copies of your program.

Best regards,

When I was in elementary school I was a tad chubby – my mom put me on diets to lose the baby fat. Until the end of high school I was on extremely calorie restricting diets (including things like Mayo clinic diet, with ingredients removed to be “better” and for over a month). With good intentions, my metabolism had been shot At Uni, I started eating like other people and the weight piled on. But it was OK – I had someone who loved and cared for me no matter my weight. Now, 7 years in – I have just been dumped and find myself feeling worthless. I need to learn how to kick start my metabolism and LOVE myself instead of letting som. Reclaiming my body will let me do that – and this program is the key.

Hi Joel,
I’m a “skinny fat” 24 years old.
Few years ago while still in my school days, my weight was still manageable by playing sports & controlling my food intake(but never lean, since i consider eating as an enjoyment & not wanting to waste any food).
However these few years after i started working, I’ve been constantly gaining around few kilos every few months. Those fat just seems to come back faster than losing them… & stays there.
I’m an asian, so major part of my daily intake consist of white rice. I’ve tried to control my daily consumption but still no visible result.
When i first stumble across Cheat Your Way Thin, i was a bit skeptical, but after i watched the Death of Dieting video & case study, I’ve changed my mind & has been following your email update & waiting anxiously for the release since.
I would like to get rid those unwanted body fat & my “CUTE” pot belly(according to my fiance) & get in good shape. I want to look good & feel confidence about myself, & the most important thing is look great naked & still being able to enjoy my favorites foods with Cheat Your Way Thin.

Hi Joel – Cheat Your Way Thin looks to be the plan that many of us need. I for one know that the principles you introduce in your newletters have helped me to understand dieting and exercise in a way I didn’t before. I workout regularly and try to eat proper. But living in a country (Norway) where comfort food and baked goods are a staple it is hard to maintain the physic I want. I believe Cheat Your Way Thin would help me learn how I can incorporate healthy eating with the local traditional foods I love so much without ruining everything I am trying to achieve. I am tired of reaching my goals only to fall back to old habits and gaining back everything I worked off. I am the typical yo-yo and I would like to stop the cycle. If I were to be chosen as one of the 3 lucky winners of Cheat Your Way Thin you would be receiving more international exposure than you probably already have now. Plus you would be helping me to incorporate a healthy balance in my family’s meals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Theresa

Hi,
I’m 45 years old,mother of 3 children, who comes from a family that has always been overweight. I’ve tried every diet there is,from the pineapple diet to the “all protein” diet. I workout in a class 3 times a week and walk 40 minutes the other 2 days.I’m strong but can’t seem to lose the fat,especially the belly fat! It would so great to finally have a program,where you can eat well,go out with friends and still lose the fat. Last, I would love to set a good example for my kids! I can’t wait to start!!

Hi,
I think this programe will be a right fit for me. My body used to be in prefect shape before. since past 2year though I am not overweight the area around my mid region (stomach, love handles and butt) are abnormal compared to rest of my body. I am eating less fatty foods, changed to healthy diet, exercising.. all these things seem to work for other areas of the body but this area didnot show any change what so ever. I think u can imagine my body shape now… thin in most of the areas and obese in mid region. I feel awkward.
I hope i get a chance to get into this programme. Thank you.

hello, my name is Georgiana, I am 27 years old and I always had problems with my weight , my dissatisfaction being with my upper legs which have been too wide in comparison with my thin waist.I kept trying dieting but without succes for a long time and by doing sports still they did not come smaller.
I believe that your program is the perfect for me as it also respect health and it provides loosing weight in a pleasant way, which is perfect.
I thank you from now for coming up with this program and for being willing to share it with us and I am looking forward to get your free copy and get started!!

Dear Joel,

First of all, let me start by saying a big thank you to for those little tips you have been sending to us.

I don’t really have anything elaborate to say. Hell I might not even have more than fifty words to say. I just need you to know that I desperately need every single help I can get.

My doctor recently told me that if I didn’t loose weight soon, and fast too, I was going to be going to my grave soon. Now don’t forget that I have done every single thing I could. Diets, fruit fast, exercises, diet pills, everything but I only seem to loose a little weight then go right back to where I started from and most times, get even fatter! I have read all your tips and they have been helping so far, so I’m sure that this book is the miracle I have been waiting for.

Cheat Your Way Thin is going to help me get my best body ever. I am not over weight but i am not fit enough to feel confident, happy and be a good example to other people who want to loose weight. I feel like i stuck and not going ANYWHERE no matter how much i exercise :o( This is the worst feeling in the world. I want to be a personal trainer but i know i need to look like one first.

It’s over five years now, since I gone from 252lbs to 205lbs through exercise and trying to eat properly. However, to this day I have been trying in vain to shift the remaining weight. I struggle to find the will power every morning to get up early to exercise for an hour each day and try to eat all the right things. I’ve even become a vegetarian, partly believing this will help me eat better and lose the extra flab and weight, but I am still struggling. It feels like whatever I do is not enough and it really kicks my confidence and self esteem right back. For once I would really like to put the weight that has plaque me all my life behind me and begin to enjoy life. Please help. From what I have read and listened to, I believe your program might be the key

I’m from the UK, in my 70′s, weight train regularly, dont eat much junk food but still have too much fat on my body. I am confused by all the so called ‘gurus’ and excess information about weight loss….I prefer fat loss. I want someone who knows their stuff and looks the part, someone who can guide me along the path to a leaner, healthier, more muscular body. From what I have read you could well be that person.

I had always been dieting for a long time, I even got my parents wanting to diet themselves because they are fat – but all of us are stuck now, we’ve hit a plateau. Also, our lifestyle means we need to eat the wrong foods every now and then which messes things up for us. We are VERY busy (and by very, i mean: school, work and all the studying, church – which we spend long times on and many other things).
CHEAT YOUR WAY THIN will help all three of us cheat to get thin. And yes we are very fat even my mum is worried about how she looks. My dad is doing his best to get nowhere. I am just stuck, I want abs but I haven’t moved down 1% fat in 5 months now, and I feel like giving up. Please, we do need to cheat our ways thin because our fat is slowing us down and making others laugh at us – depression.

Hi Joel, I feel this program would be ideal for me as I am preparing for an assessment to compete in the commomwealth games and need to lose that few extra pounds to get me into my best possible weight and shape. Being able to lose the extra few pounds would make me feel so much better therefore be able to compete better. Iv recently had problems with my eating so the program would great as I’ll have something to follow and stick to.

I hope you will consider me for the package. Many Thanks.

Dear Joel,

After having 3 children, I continue to struggle to lose weight. I have tried numerous ‘diets’ and nothing seems to not only lose the weight but keep it off. I don’t have the time to count calories or points, I don’t have the energy to find ingredients that I can’t even pronounce and I am tired of feeling guilty about falling off the wagon or just craving a little something more. I am not a serial dieter, just looking for a balanced perspective on eating healthy and being realistic.

Hi Joel,

I have fought against my weight throughout my entire adult life. About 1 year ago I decided that I would get serious about it and took the time to carefully plan my nutrition and workouts and gave it 100% at keeping to my schedule.
Months of following the plans and I really mean following the stuff with military discipline I find myself about where I started and was ready to throw in the towel untill I began reading the info you sent me over the last couple of days.
This is why I need your program so bad! I am exactly what you describe in your updates and I know that I AM WORTH IT, and that I can really show how your program has allowed me to acheive my goals.
CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL THE WORK AND EFFORT!
Maria

I am 38 and can’t lose weight to save my life, i have been dieting since i was 11 years old, nothing works any more……HELP…….I have two children and am very busy all day long, i diet, i train with weights, have done since i was 16, i go running, i do aerobics, i jump rope, i even bought kettlebells. I’ve tried every diet, i am sooooooooooooooo frustrated!!!!!!! I’ve been reading about Cheat Your Way Thin and it sounds like just what i need, a way to diet (which i’m very good at) but also cheat (which I do even beter). Wow!! this would be amazing, to be given the formula for weight loss that actually works.

Hey joel. First of all i wanted to say congrat’s on creating this new way of dieting.
It really attract my attention bout tis new programme,and i think its really cool and genius =). I need to use your “Cheat Your Way Thin” programme bcos first of all rite nw i’m having a fat loss problem. The problem is whenever i’m on a diet, i will always have the craving of eating all the fat food,sweet things and alot of carbs…and after trying to resist, i gave up on my diet and instead eat the things i crave for..After tat i would fell really guilty and feel sux. and i’m sure u feel the same way before.

Tc =)
From ur singapore fan(Shahid)

I have been eagerly soaking up the information you have supplied us by email and it sounds really plausible..i have almost completed an 8week fat loss challenge and have already been enjoying being fitter and lighter…unfortunately i am not dropping many kilos off and i know it is due to my eating..i have journaled all my food and it is evident both on paper and in my brain that i struggle with craving and then eating stuff i shouldnt and feeling guilty. My personal trainer (not a dietician) tells me off but i cant seem to help it. The worst thing is i can see my 11year old daughter struggling with the same issue. She is overweight and struggles with school cross-country and fitness and i would love a way of feeding my whole family (6 children) healthy food without always missing out on treats or singling my daughter out. Its too good to be true but id love to see if this really works.

Dear Joel,I have tried everything possible to lose weight all my life,
but nothing worked for a long time.Then I got very sick and could not eat almost anything for six months.The only food I was able to digest was ice-cream.In that period I lost a lot of weight,because I did not eat.After I cured my sickness I slowly began eating everything and then realized that something was wrong with my digestive system.It did not matter what I ate,I got all my weight and some extra pounds back.Now,I am sick and tired of all stupid diets which never work and I would like to try something different,something that really works!I would like to finally eat without fear from gaining weight and no sense of guilt.I would like to start a new life!

With respect and take care!

Hey Joel! Thanks for all the interesting information I’ve learned so far.
About me: I started with professional ballet when I was a child, and continued that path with great success, dancing at the opera in an very early age. But my early teenage life had a drastic change in about one week’s time. My mother (my only family) died in cancer and I got a vertebra disk hernia, and was told I could never dance again. So everything I knew was taken away from me. My entire family and my goal in life. I was pretty much handicapped for a year, and struggling with the different losses. To go from training 6-8 hours a day and eating very limited and constrict, I found myself endulching in a lot of food. And a bad path started. I gained a lot of weight and fat, I became an impulsive over eater. Off course I was eating to fill the void of my emptiness.
Now I have come a long way, and I have been reading a lot about training and nutrition, but I still have problems to deal with all of this. I tend to be very strict for a while, and then I lose a lot of weight and get very fit, but as soon I come across something unhealthy I tend to eat it, and many days to come are ruined. There for I feel like your program could be the first one to teach me How and What to eat in the Smartest way.

I am a middle aged man trying to figure out how, on a regular diet , I can lose
that last bit of fat . I work a 10 hour night shift then head to the local fitness palace . Exercise is a part of my everyday life . Still I cant seem to get the last bit of roll out of my midsection. I believe this “Cheat your way thin” could give me the base of information and encouragement to stick to a plan of enjoyable consumption. I do so much want to be that healthy , trim exercising fool …

I really need this information because I am deployed to Iraq and I do not have access to health food stores or a trainer. I was 275 pounds before the Army, after I joined I got down to my current weight of 192 pounds. I have come so far, but my body keeps fighting against me when I diet. Raising my appetite and my cravings, which make going to the gym to workout and cardio twice a day even harder. I need to know how to loose these last 15 pounds, it is something so important that I have to accomplish it.

Thanks you for the oppertunity,
Rodriguez, Emmanuel

I am 130kg and only 5 foot 7. I really need this program. It would help me greatly. I just joined a gym today. So I am halfway there. All I need is a little bit more information to help me out. So If you could send me a copy I would be greatly appreciative.

Hi Joel, I’m 40 next year and i am lucky to have five beautiful children but the body isn’t so beautiful so I need help as Im getting married in October and want to look the best i can possibly be on my wedding day. I cant even go and try on dresses at the moment as i know they will look awful. All i can say is wow, this is what i have been looking for for the past year with your programme i know i will be able to go and try on a few dresses in the next couple of months as your testimonies prove it works and im looking forwrd to starting it as soon as i can get my hands on it. (P.S i will send pictures of my big day whether i get a free copy or not. Thank you from the beautiful bride to be aftet Joels cheat you way thin programme. Anna

Hi Joel, I have 10lbs of stubborn fat to go (the last lbs really are the hardest to shift!). I have been reading your updates everyday and I am so excited by the launch of this programme. Seriously, I even dreamt you came to my house and met my family lol.

I am an all or nothing person. I tend to go 100% perfect diet with whole natural foods or I eat one bad thing and blow it for that week and eat every bad thing in sight. I think this programme will be perfect as it will make losing those last 10lbs less psychologically draining. I can incorporate family meals/functions without thel guilt that often sets in.

I currently use the turbulence training programme 3 times a week and do as much activity as I can on my ‘off’ days. Cheat your way thin feels like it will be the missing part of the puzzle and I can’t wait to get started!!! A free copy would be a bonus! Loving your work!

I have ordered every book, every tape, read many theories and believe I have little faith left that any diet or any cheat your way thin diet could work. I have become very skeptical of all offers because I have felt taken so many times. Myself and a friend have not given up on ourselves. I keep looking for something new and different. I am hoping this may be it. Thank you.

This program would be the perfect one for me as I easily get bored of eating plain old pieces of chicken, beef, etc. and the same vegetables. I try to eat as many veggies as I can, but it’s a real struggle. Following the low-carb diet is very difficult because I get tired of the same protein and veggie combo day after day week after week even though I’m losing some weight. I start to think that the problem is just me and that I can’t cope with eating healthy. But since hearing about your new book, it’s great to know that one can still have some cheat meals throughout the week and even ramp up the fat burn. It’s also great for ffamily and friends. I can cook for other people and not have to cook a separate meal just for myself. I can be more outgoing with friends — not have to stay away from restaurants because I can only eat salad and chicken. My goal is to definitely shed 60 pounds of fat living a healthy lifeststyle and for once, this sounds like the plan to be able to do it without feeling completely deprived. Thanks, Joel.

hi joel,
this will defenitely be my way to become thin and build up my selfconfidence .
CHEAT YOUR WAY THIN sounds too good to be true .I’m so fedup of spending sooo much time in the gym and dieting biut not getting the results I want.
I eat very healthy but still don’t seem to be able to get the level of results that I’m looking for.
your program sounds just right as it says that it shall teach me to cheat in a scientific manner so that I do not abuse my body and at the same time become healthier.

Hi Joel:

I think this program will be good for me, as I need something to get me back on the way to healthy eating and enjoying my life again.

I am a 63 year old grossly obese male who has tried many weight loss programs, only to fail every time. I need to lose better than 200 pounds to get back to where I should be.

Any assistance this program will give me to reach that ends is a bonus. I truly hope that I can win this program, as I look forward to a fuller enjoyment of life.

Thank you

Nutrition is one part of being fit that troubles many…..me being one. I have been easting healthier for about a year and a half now, dropping 40 lbs. I have incorporated weekly fasts, smaller multiple daily meals and have just finished 12 weeks of carb cycling. The problem is I love to eat and find myself always gravitating to the cupboard to look. And I mostly end up with a spoon in the peanut butter jar. Otherwise I have done a pretty good job of eating healthier, including cheat meals

I find it hard to keep on track without a written plan. Something that I can look at and help keep myself accountable. I also get in a rut of eating the same foods and need the benefit of this type of program that allows to variety of foods that satisfy.

Inspiration, accountability and a place to go that includes others like me, who need that social support that is most important, is what I need most.

Joel,
I´m a 19 years old student. Since I was a kid I´ve been surrounded by those “gifted people” that can eat as much as they want and as frequently as they want the so called “bad foods”. In the struggle of getting such thin and muscle-less body I preasured myself into those fad diets. The consecuences: loosing almost all my strength, regaining the weight, not enjoying the foods I like and METABOLIC disorders and reduced exercice -I am a very active person and reducing excercice almost depressed me-. (And I´m just 19!)
During the last year I decided it was time to take action, I had to stop playing with my body and . I have lost some pounds and I am working out hard and regularly, I can say I´m comfortable with my body, but EXPECTING MORE! specially during the last weeks my body hasn´t changed much. Right now I´m the kind of girl that boys clasify as having a “normal-average body”, but lets be honest, Is beeing average (high limit of being overweight) enough? I have read a lot about nutrition and training, because I belive guessing isn´t an option: you shoukd KNOW what you are doing.
Cheat your way thin seems to be a life style-program that can remove all the guesswork from my diet and can give me the results that I expect without playing with my health and without living in a plateu.

The reason I’d like to try this program is very simple – I have been one of Joel’s test rabbits during his T-Nation’s tests of The Cheater’s Diet. I have been very pleased both with the program itself and with my results. If Cheat Your Way Thin is a new and improved version of The Cheater’s Diet program I’ve been using in the past, I’m sure it is efficient and very convenient tool to shred remaining body fat.

I feel the Cheat Your Way Thin is the perfect weight loss tool for me because it seems to be very flexible with the normal day to day lives of people. It seems to
be non restrictive in that you can still enjoy to go out with friends or entertain family for social gatherings. Statistics show that most diets fail because they are either so restrictive that people just can’t maintain the low calories for a long period of time or they do manage to stay on a restrictive program only to regain all the weight back once they return to normal eating patterns. Cheat Your Way Thin appears to be the “Lifestyle Change” that is required to lose weight and adjust ones behavioural patterns for success. I can’t wait to try it.

Joel, I am so excited after reading your posts that I can definitely be successful in my goals using your program. I am trying to dump those middle age pounds that everyone thinks are OK but really are not. I eat well, exercise and then feel so guilty if I enjoy a cheat with my family. I am teaching my kids (had them later, one a 40th birthday present) the importance of being healthy AND HAPPY! I am also stuck right now. I have a goal of 15 more pounds and I haven’t budged the scale in 3 weeks. I need to shake things up and not let my body outsmart me. Afterall, it’s just hormones – I should be able to put my metabolism and thyroid in there places!! Thanks, Maureen

Hi Joel

Basically the same as all else…… I have learnt alot of good information from your site and blogs But now need the program to put it all into a logical routine so it can be used to my maximum advantage. I am a diabetic who has always looked after himself , but also had the flabdomanals instead of abdominals have worked hard on them for the longest time with cardio etc and now after following your advise over the past couple of months am begining to see some results. Have gone from 30% body fat to 25% according to my scales which is encouraging but over the last few weeks progress has slowed :( so maybe CYWT may kick start some more results for me. Thanks for all your advise so far and look forward to finding out more useful and interesting stuff in the future.

Cheers Steve

Hi Joel, this program is ideal for me for 2 simple reasons: Firstly, it’s SUSTAINABLE. It strikes the right balance in nutrition, where healthy & wholesome eating co-exists with occasional & well-deserved treats, just like real life should be! Like so many others, I’ve tried numerous diets and even more eating plans that pretend that they’re not diets but in fact they’re all about restriction, for example, claiming that you can still enjoy chocolate (where in fact they preach that you can only have tiny bits of organic 70% cocoa, and anything else that’s processed is going to be the death of you). I have found time and time again that they either don’t work at all, or only short-term. Nothing so far has helped me make that lifestyle change, something that is healthy, will help me burn the fat and also keep me happy and satisfied. Because – and this is my second reason – I LOVE FOOD. I appreciate it, I crave it, I indulge in it and it makes me happy. I don’t have psychological issues and use it as comfort, I just love it! I eat when I’m sad, I eat when I’m happy! There is no point in denying it, and there is no shame in it – no more!

I am a UK size 10-12, and I am a fitness instructor so I love exercise and regularly push myself and I love how fit, strong and healthy I feel. However, my nutritional habits have been holding me back, and at around 10% more body fat than I’d like to be, I am I’m not satisfied with my body. I’ve flipped so many times between diet-mode and just accepting the way I am and the way I eat/binge, however neither is a solution, and I know I have much more potential than that. I have spent so much money on other online packages and nothing seems to be doing it for me, nutrition-wise. I have realised the hard (and expensive) way that this can’t be achieved through restriction, through misery – no great body is worth that turmoil so many of us go through.

Thank you so much for doing this and can’t wait to cheat my way thin!!!

All the best & good luck to all of us entering :-)

simply put, i am the singer in a band in cologne germany. at 37, i have put a little bit of a spare tire on the mid section. so for me, being the front man, it is up to me to be in great shape. i also think that staying thin will have a positive effect on my voice.
i have started to implement some of your tips, and i am starting to see some results.
there are probably others who need this more than i do, but i really would like to learn more about this program.
‘preciate the time and the help.

ace kincaid, singer of pink slip cologne

I am hopeful that after reading and preparing that this is something I can live with. Its time to stop spending money, making someone rich and just lose the weight.

Cheat Your Way Thin sounds like the perfect thing for me. I’m a mum of 3 boys under 5. My extra 30 pds of baby weight is not coming off so easily this time round. I need something that is simple and quick to implement every day while still being able to eat and enjoy some of my kids favourite foods with them, eg. pasta and cookies.
My other downfall is that I am a huge fan of chocolate and I find as soon as I start any sort of diet I fail miserably because I crave the chocolate too much and end up binging. Knowing that I can eat right but still enjoy these foods would make the world of difference to my weight loss efforts.

Hi Joel,
So you would like to know why is the programme perfect programme for me? Well, I am 29 now and overweight. Through my teens and twenties I have been through loads of diets and even more supervised or unsupervised work outs. Some of them worked for certain time some of them didn’t work at all. I guess you can say that I tried almost everything that was possible to try. Maybe in some instances it wasn’t right timing or the circumstances changed or simply I didn’t have the right determination to reach and sustain the shape I would like to have.
Month ago I reached the stage where I decided that my life needs a proper shake up – new clean start with everything and I really mean EVERYTHING. I already found new flat where I am moving this weekend, I am frantically trying to find new job and finally I want to have new happy me. I know that this goal isn’t as easily or as fast done as the rest of the changes but my determination is sky high. For the first time I feel like I desperately need to turn my life around otherwise few years down the line I will be the same old fat and miserable chick stuck in dead end job. And that’s where your programme kicks in as it will greatly help me to get where I want to be. I don’t expect miracles, just a firm push in right direction.

i am 47 y.o. and have been lifting since pre-high school football days.i made great gains when i was a teen ager,but just enough body fat to hide most of my progress has always hung on.like many people, i made a six pack my goal about ten years ago (still has not happened). i am hoping this program will get me the rest of the way to this goal.i’m also thinking i may get another benefit.i carry a fair amount of fat over my pecs which to me almost makes them “man-boobs”-very embarrassing to me although my wife says i’m making too big a deal about it.my legs,arms, and back look ok i think,but my trunk just does not seem to change at all.this is why i need this program.thanks for reading my comments

From the first update i received the ‘Cheat Your Way Thin’ system stood out to me. I have always enjoyed my food and felt like ‘dieting’ has never gotten me where i ultimately want to be. I have ambitions of becoming a fitness model but I’m way off where I need to be and I’m so sure that the ‘cheat your way thin’ system will take me there because of the simple science. This is where i really loved science part of the system. Its simply that. You are cheating your body with the cheat meals tricking the metabolism and in turn ramping up your success. in addition you seem very friendly, accessible and positive in your videos and that just adds to the great system.

I have always felt guilty as a university student eating out and chowing down on the wrong foods but no more. From your emails i have been inspired and want to learn the strategic cheating times and cannot wait for my life to change.

I’d love to get rid of the last 10 lbs of belly fat. More importantly, I’d love to get my wife on this program. She works full time and goes to school. Her crazy schedule makes it difficult for her to stay on track eating wise and this sounds like the perfect fit for her.

Dear Joel, I’m 23 years old. About 17 months ago I started an effort to lose fat. I changed my eating habits, started exercising and got quite good results losing about 7kgs (15 lbs). I went from overweight to a 24 BMI and, since I’m quite muscular by nature, my body fat was at pretty decent levels. I still had a lot room for improvement though. Now the problem is that I live in Greece, which is a wonderful country, however the social eating issue is huge here. Almost everything I can do with friends includes some non-”diet friendly” food. With “Cheat your way thin” I believe that I can educate myself to reach my goals not only without depriving myself of food or feeling left behind with my friends, but also with better results as I learned from your updates.

Thank you for this chance,
Eleana

I am in a quest to get my 6 pack abs and I am a little frustrated of the resultas.
And God knows that I am hard working but stil I dont have my 6 pack.
And one more thing, I am living in Romania so ther in no chance in hell that I can aford to pay for the package.
Ps: thanks for your tips, they realy helpt me ( sorry for the bad english).

Hi Joel, I have been a picky eater for as long as I can remember. The problem is I mostly pick the foods that are bad forme, particularly since I want to be thin. Cheating Your Way Thin sounds perfect for me because I am really good at cheating, just not the right way. I didn’t even know there was a right way. It seems that no diet or method is reasonable enough to allow those foods that we all love to eat, but shouldn’t. I believe that with your plan all of that could change and being thin could become a normal way of life and not make folks feel deprived of those foods we love, but are told we can’t have. I would love the opportunity to change my life and share the way it happened with those I know.

Being a personal trainer this has been the biggest struggle for me to find the best “diet plan” (I prefer to use the term “healthy lifestyle change”) for my clients and also my 16yr old son who is overweight. They so want to be “fit and healthy” but the “diets” that are out there can be extremely restrictive – especially for a teenager who loves to cook and eat. This will be one less psychological “guilt” trip they will have – allowing them to eat their favorite foods so they can concentrate on the being “fit” part. One less stressful thing they’ll have to worry about. I won’t promote a product (diet or exercise program) unless I have used/tried it myself. Even though I haven’t even tried it yet, I am confident this will be “the one” – I am looking forward to the launch on Tuesday!

H, I think the Cheat Your Way Thin system will be just what I need to finally lose weight and get fitter again. I had a baby and back surgery in the past 7 years and I have tried every diet since to try and lose weight, I have lost weight to put it back on plus some so I am seriously overweight. I find I stay motivated for a few weeks and then lose it through losing focus and feeling deprived! With your system I think it is an overall healthy strategy which will help me focus on getting fitter and healthy at the same time as losing this fat. I have a small boy and I want to be a good example to him not just the fat mom at the school gate. Thanks, Caroline

Hi Joel

I am currently weighing in at 103kgs with approx 40% body fat. I have Crohns Disease and have been in and out of hospital regularly since I’ve had this condition. Also, having been on steroids for my condition I put on a considerable amount of weight. The internet is full of a million different diets, and when you have a gastrointestinal disorder, it even makes it more complicated because everyone has a natural medicine remedy or “super diet”. I’m confused. Full stop. I cant adhere to these strict natural remedy diets anymore that have not worked in the past and I just need a moderate common sense approach, that is psychologically something I can deal with as well. I’m desperate to turn my life around. I think this whole program looks very promising as I’ve lost hope with a lot of other promises out there. Thanks for all your effort in any case. Looks like you’re onto a good thing. I’m getting the program anyway!

I have to tell you that your marketing of this product has been the smartest I have ever seen. You have kept me wanting the system from second one and yet have held us back….smart!
This program is perfect for me at this time in my life because I am sitting in the hospital with my 18 year old son who has been in a tragic accident Monday night. I will be there for months while he continues to be healed. I will never be able to “diet” and have had a very hard time eating normal for the last four days (fast food). I have been following you for days wanting to start this program due to it’s flexability and the fact I have four kids and four dogs. My life is busy. Can’t wait to start!!

Simple enough, I watch what I eat, I work out and yet cant seem to lose any fat. It gets really frustrating and sometimes it may seem too easy to give up. I dont want to give up, I have 3 children and they are always asking me to play with them. I dont want to run around and feel tired after 5 minutes because of my weight. I need help, I want to be the best I can be both physically and mentally and I dont care what anyone says they are connected. Joel I am looking for your expertise and help in this matte. I dont want to be stuck in this rut of weight loss.
Thank you for taking time

Hi Joel,
I’m excited about your program Cheat Your Way Thin because as I learn more about how things really work, I realize that I’ve been trying to swim upstream by narrowing the range of foods I allow myself more and more in an attempt to lose weight. The upshot: I gain weight. I cheat. I don’t stick to a diet. Now, I’m no wimp, I’m a strong-minded, mature, fabulous person…AND I don’t stick to the diets I’ve set for myself. Vegan, all raw foods, juicing, 1200 calories, etc etc etc, I’ve tried them all. Since I see that you were a BFL champ, I’m anticipating learning from you especially because it seems that you have tweaked the diet you used to win that competition to be even more effective. I’m sick and tired of feeling like a failure in THIS ONE AREA of my life. I’m ready to succeed at losing the excess 100 lbs I carry ONCE AND FOR ALL. And I believe your plan can help me do that. I’d love to win this free copy of your program and get started NOW!

Thanks for this opportunity to win the program. And best of luck to all who embark on this journey with your guidance!
enJOY!
Jan Masters

This program is coming to me at the best time in my life because I am at the end of an evolving diet process that started when I was in the third grade. Since then I’ve been on every diet imaginable, starting with Ayds chocolate appetite suppressants, Weight Watchers, Optifast, Atkins, Protein Power, Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, and most recently HCG injections. All of these have removed weight. I’ve been between 160 to 270 pounds. My waist size has been 32 up to 42 – I have a line-up of pants in my closet to match wherever I may be at any given moment. My problem is that I love to cheat and am an ice-cream addict. I always return to my old friend and regain all my weight and more. Then, I find another diet, lose the weight again, and the process starts over. I am hoping this system will get me off the rollercoaster and keep me at a constant weight at the low end of my range. I want to get rid off all the pants except for the size 32′s! I agree with my doctor – “It’s not normal to gain 75 pounds when you’re not on a strict diet!”

After i heard about your program i thought omg this cant be true!as we all know of course we want to be the slim sexy guy/girl who walks out of their home looking fabulous everyday!and some of us work years at machines and dieting programs, pills to get there and we all have one problem-we just want to eat what we want! so thats why i think this program is for me and i would love to be one of those many to succeed in this and have an amazing story to tell others who will want to try this too.
thanks, you’ve brought a new era to weight loss

It is no surprise that the first three letters in Diet are DIE!

So often that is how I have felt whilst being on a diet; struggling to control these uncontrollable cravings then binge eating to assuage the guilt of giving in. No wonder my weight has yo-yo’d so dramatically, still always ending up heavier than before each diet cycle.

I don’t want to live a life of frustration, where every moment I am torn between eating what everyone else is eating and striving for that perfect body.

I don’t want a life where I spend every minute worrying about food; appearing rude at dinner parties or simply upsetting my wife by refusing to eat what she has cooked me.

I want a life I can live to the fullest, enjoying every moment with my family; every meal, every shopping trip, every day out in the park.

I want a body my wife will love to look at and that will keep up with the kids as they grow.

I was so close to giving up on my dream of a healthy, good looking body when I received your email. I could hardly believe my eyes!

There you were, offering me hope. Offering me the chance to break the cycle.

The chance to stop DIEting and start living!

I have yo-yoed my way dizzy in dieting successes followed by gains that just left me with a body that people who haven’t see me in years don’t even recognize. Even as I am dieting right now with very moderate results, I still know that when my uphill battle leaves me too tired to continue, I will fall back into old habits and balloon up again. I need to get off this dieting roller coaster and into a program that will give me tools to control my weight that will not also leave me open to weight gain again. All I think about on my current diet is what I can’t eat, and it leaves me tired and disillusioned. I have cheated my way fat all my life–it’s time to cheat my way thin!

Hi Joel.

I stumbled across your program and I would like to try to get a free copy. Hope you will send it to Iceland:-) Because I thought I new every thing on hove to get lean and fitt but then I saw your program and was blown away and thougt that this is some thing for me to get rid of my bellyfat. Because I need to get every thing pinpointed to me, excactly what to eat and when to eat it and how much and to be able to have those cheat days that is just awsome. And to get a sixpack, hopfully before summer would be great.
I am looking forward to try your program. Thanks, Laufey

Joel,
Although I believe that I’ll benefit from this, I have to be honest; I’m not interested in this for myself. I’m following the EODD by Jon benson which seems to be working well for me. I’m more intersted in this for my wife who has a little weight issue as a result of two c-sections. The idea of a “diet” to her is to starve yourself stupid and she doesn’t want to do that. Her gym instructor has told her that her belly will never go unless she has a tuck. However, I disagree. Problem is; she doesn’t like nuts or apples; which is a major part of EODD. The prospect of eating the food she likes will be enough motivation for her to make this work.
I have discussed many different eating strategies with her and explained how the body works based on information I’ve had from you and others and she’s a believer; same as me.
She would love to catch up with the weight loss I’ve experienced before I “trade her in” as she puts it (not going to happen) and this cheating plan of yours is the ideal one for her.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Garry

Joel, your program sounds like a great fit for my lifestyle. In fact, I have ordered your book The Cheat to Lose Diet from my local bookstore but am sure your newest program update contains even more detail and that is why I am hoping to win. I am 5’8”, 51 years old, married with a 15 year old son who is into lifting weights. Back in January I realized I had really let things go – up to 178 lbs. I started dieting and moderate exercise and after about 2 months had lost 20 lbs. Then things just seemed to stall out. I signed up for a fitness bootcamp which had a recommended diet along with it. I have lost about 3% body fat and maybe a couple of pounds in the last 4 weeks. I feel like I am pedaling as fast as I can right now just to stay in place. I think your diet will provide me the tools I need to move forward on a weight loss program to meet my goal of another 25 lbs. The idea of cheat days appears to work perfectly with my family’s lifestyle of eating out at least once a week after church as well as a teenage son who occasionally wants Mom to make cookies and desserts. It sounds like a diet that I can use to achieve my goals and still actually have a life with good food in it that I enjoy. Pick me please!

This looks like the perfect diet for me. Simply because as the years have passed I have been obese for more than half my life. I started with and enlarged goiter at 21 then I weighed 118 lbs, stood 5’5″ and mesaured 34-18-39 not too bad. But! then at 25, I got married and on our honeymoon the tables turned on me, I gained almost 20 lbs in 10 days. I was totally depressed all the clothes I brought with me didn’t fit. But, I had married the right person for me and he has accepted me as I am no smart remarks about my weight. And with all the diets out there I tried them all and all failed. But, about 27 years ago, I joined the Jack LaLaine Gym, it was great and went an the Atkins diet, also great in 4 months I went from 250 lbs to 145 lbs terrific. But this again did not last long all of about 5 months then I ballooned back up. I had a heart attack, pledged with allergies, also I take synthyroid medicine. I am now 62 years young and have 3 young adult children that I’d like to see marry and have children. I know this is long in the tooth. Hopefully this is the one for me.

hello joel,

Your updates have had me glued to my email over the last week or 2 and I just wanted so thank you for giving me hope again.

Over the last couple of years I have been battling with my weight, loosing a good few pounds and starting to go in the right direction, then Id have a bad day and Id come home and just want to go crasy with the food, take aways, cookies, ice creams, the lot, then once that was done, I would feel like a failure and my attitude WAS “och well Ive blown it now might aswell eat what I want”

Doing my work outs isn’t a problem its just always been the nutrition side of things that Ive never been able to grasp and I think your system is going to be the perfect solution to set me free. Getting some solid information and a step by step guide on what to do would start something very special for me! And i feel as if Im ready to take the plunge and loose all this weight once and for all ( in total i think iv got at least 90 pounds to loose)

Looking forward to learning all about the system!

thank you

mike

Hi Joel,

I’m a former fat girl looking to get ripped! The issue has been the proper attitude and the right meal planning. I have a great mentor for training so the workouts are not the real problem. There is so much information out there it’s hard to figure out what’s right and what’s not. I need to get the “right” information so that I’m fit forever! Please help!!

Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Joel, i`ve struggled all my life to lose and maintain my weight, i`m 40 yrs old and currently 16 st 4 lbs, and at 5ft 10″ you can imagine i`m not much to look at. I`ve recently tried the Bodytrim EU Diet and although it worked for a while, i found the weight piled back on again as soon as i started eating “normally” again. I`ve been looking at your programme since the emails started arriving, and if its anything as good as it sounds, then it seems the right approach for me. I`ve been training weights on and off for 22 years so am pretty accustomed to hard work. I would love to give your programme a go and be one of your success stories.

Thanks
Jon

Reason???? Prove the other diets and theories wrong.

i am a very busy mom and i can not follow any diet program with 100% simply because usually i want to share my family in eating cake , pizza …. . In the last 4 years i gain 20 kilo over weight . so i will be very happy if i still enjoy what i want to eat with my family even one or two day weekly and lose fat . Really i need your program . Thanks

Found out at the tender young age of 46, I’m in menopause! Lucky me. Blood tests confirmed it. That was 2 years ago.

I’ve always been able to lose weight, just three years ago was back in a size
9, 145 lbs. The inches dropped really quick when I started weight training. Then I tried a cycling-food-type of eating plan and the pounds melted quick. But, now with the hormones completely out of whack it is very frustrating. The weight crept back when I got lazy with my eating habits even though I remain active. I make forward progress only to take a couple of steps back. The cravings definitely are a problem. Knowing that I’m able to go on a baby binge would keep the cravings in check. I know when hormones are out of whack weight loss is hard to control but hormone replacement therapy is out of the question.

I have the activity under control. I do something active every single day, I just can’t seem to get a grip on the diet. Your story intrigued me. I subscribe to other newsletters and those authors are intrigued as well.

Joel, this body is not coming with me into my next decade. I’ve had a personal trainer certification for a year now but have never felt confident enough to train clients when I can’t even get it together. Health and wellness is my passion, please help me live it!

Joel…I am 54 years old, about 50 pounds overweight, not comfortable with myself and have tried all different types of “diets” and “lifestyle changes” with no fast results. I need something to “get me going”; something where I can see and feel results right out of the gate. This will help to keep me motivated. I’ve listened to and read all your information and it just makes sense! Also, knowing that at certain times I can have foods I enjoy and still lose weight is such an incentive to try Cheat Your Way Thin. I am so looking forward to this program and to becoming a better me because of you! Thanks….Mickey.

Help! I’ve been trying to lose weight for several years. 6 years ago, I lost 35 lbs, on Weight Watchers. It was relatively easy. I kept most of the weight off for over a year until I quit smoking. That alone seems to have messed with my metabolism. I am not going back to smoking to lose the weight, but I am on a constant search for a new way to eat that will jump start my metabolism. I’ve tried several nutrition programs for at least 6 weeks each and nothing, that on top of exercising 4-5 times a week and still nothing. I’ve had some serious health problems and feel if I get back into shape I can put a stop to that spirasl. I am hoping your program is the one that does it. Still exercising, just hoping something will kick in eventually.

am a very busy mom and i can not follow any diet program with 100% simply because usually i want to share my family in eating cake , pizza …. . In the last 4 years i gain 20 kilo over weight . so i will be very happy if i still enjoy what i want to eat with my family even one or two day weekly and lose fat . Really i need your program . Thanks

Joel I am extremely interested in what you say. I am a healthy 62 years old but can’t budge 7 pounds or get rid of my mid-riff – haven’t seen my ribs for a few years!!!! I weigh 120 pounds and 5′ 1″ tall and small frame. I run 3 miles in 35 minutes 3 times a week, do 2 or 3 gym sessions, which includes two 20 minute interval sessions either on bike or cross trainer + exercise/weights on arms, abs and legs, and swim 1000 metres twice a week in 45 minutes. I have a goal to shed those excess pounds and see my ribs again – ‘Cheat Your Way Thin’ will help me I’m sure.

Based on what you have shared with us over the past weeks, I feel that giving me your program now is urgent! I have spent the last 6 months researching different programs. From Bill Phillips Transformation, Vince Delmonte, Shawn Phillips, even Jimi Katsoulis’ hypnotism program! I’m 42, 30 pounds overweight, former BLFer who has been yoyo dieting ever since. for some reason after the initial 12 weeks, I had a hard time keeping my body. I get the weight training, really I do. It’s always been the dieting that has kept me from transforming my body. My biggest fear and setback is when a “diet” says, you can “never” have a cookie or chocolate again. Then I go into overdrive and the first moment temptation arises, I break down and “blow it”, then the guilt sets in and the diet fails. I’m willing to give 110% to this program. From everything I’ve read, your programs fits me to a T. I’m dying waiting for April 28…p.s., I earned a Mexico vacation from work, going on May 14..is there any hope to do something with my body before then??

Hi Joel,I really think this could be the bestk plan ever.I am 47 and weigh about 250.I am 5’1″.I have knee O.A. and fell on hip 6 months which in turn led to hip bursitis.I was told not to exercise until pain is gone.Getting tere,but not yet.Needless to say in 6 months,I have gained 50 lbs.I have low thyroid.I cannot seem to stay motivated enough to lose weight.I really don’t eat alot,despite weight problems.No matter what I do,I can’t seem to get it off.I need help.This might be my best option.Thanks Karen.

Joel…

I simply want to eat everything and enjoy life to the FULLEST……. and …..
Yet stay slim, healthy, wealthy and wise……

Hi Joel,

So where do I start, this hasn’t been an easy a task me to realize my mistakes and do something about it. I seen the CHEAT YOUR WAY THIN program and let me tell you this it has been an eye–OPENING experience to see just how WRONG Americans are when it comes to dieting! You see I made a promise to myself to never be the same again, I want to make a positive change in my life for myself and family. Believe it or NOT…. I’m close to having a very risky health issues, I’ve probably tried every diet fad you can think of from Alkaline diet, High protein diet, Fruitarian diet, Jenny Craig diet, Detox diet, Atkins diet, Zone diets, Macrobiotic diet, Anabolic diet, Kosher diet, Low fat diet, High carbs diet, low carbs diet the list goes on, and on…. sure I got moderate results similar to how Monty Ritchie described it, but in short-term you know I keep asking myself when does it STOP! Until I came across your program everything just seems to make sense about’ strategic cheating and cycling of carbs, fiber and essential fats I know it will sound a bit CHEESSY no-pun INTENDED…. But I heard a inner “voice” shout–out to get up off my ass and move away from the couch. Bottom line, this sounds like it is just what the doctor ordered and something I can easily adhere to and stick with on a continual basis because I need to desperately try to do something. The funny thing is I just can’t believe that I went on so long WITHOUT trying to do a daam thing, not one–single thing to get so heavy in the first place. I’m 398 lbs.; I mean we’re talking the nutty professor style of FLUBBER here and that’s ONLY just 2 pounds shy difference from almost being a WHOPPING ’400 lbs. of pure unsolicited FAT…. I like the way CHEAT YOUR WAY THIN plan sounds like it will show you exactly what kinds of foods to eat and when to eat them. I’ve met a lot of “idealist” people. They want to be in good shape, but they’re afraid to try out new ideas. The reason I think your plan will work for me is because I can see the results of non-traditional thinking right in front of me, I see myself putting an end to the confusion of countless ways to eat, and maintain a healthy body weight without feeling like I’m just doing more yo-yo dieting anymore. I like the fact it’s customized specifically for you using only the foods you choose. And since you already enjoy the foods on your plan, it fits into your life, is easy to follow and you’re happier doing it! Best, Leo

As a child and teenager I was always thin, but since then it’s been a slow downhill spiral to obesity.

Recent injuries have compounded the problem as I’ve not been able to be as active as I’d like. And it’s become a catch 22…..the less I can exercise, the more overweight I become and the less I’m able to exercise without injuring myself further.

I know that nutrition is so important however, like so many others, I am able to stick to diets for a period of time but then fall off the wagon. I crave those foods that I always liked and can’t see myself living without them forever. So I lose some weight, become disillusioned, stop the diet and put the weight back on, with interest.

I am drawn to the Cheat Your Way Thin program for so many reasons. It’s a maintainable nutrition program for the long term. There is no need to say goodbye forever to my favourite foods and it’s flexible enough to accommodate the real things in life: holidays, nights out, take away, special occasions.

I like the fact that Cheat Your Way Thin is not about deprivation and restriction, but about eating smarter and living life realistically. Understanding and working WITH my bodies natural responses instead of fighting against them holds a strong attraction for me.

I’m looking forward to dropping those unwanted kilos, proving to myself that I CAN do it, regaining my confidence, becoming more active again and living a long and healthy life!

Hi Joel I have been trying to loose fat on my body (not so much weight) for years & I haven’t had success keeping it off. I have tried so many diets but failed. Your program sounds perfect for me, it made sense. I understood what you were saying & why I have failed before. I really want to get my beautiful pre-pregnancy body back so much I would do anything for a copy of your program. I want to feel sexy again & look good not only for me but for my marriage. We are separated partly because of depression & my lack of confidence in the bedroom, due to how I look at the moment. Please help me to succeed finally.

Cheat Your Way Thin, I believe, will give me a way of maintaining weight loss even as I travel. I spend much time on the road and it is there that I gain what I have loss. I’ve struggled with weight since 8th grade. I’ve done most of the diets, lost lots of weight and put it back on again. I’m looking forward to this program, not because I get to cheat, but because it makes sense and should be easy to implement on the road.

انا وزني زايد وارغب في التخلص من الوزن الزائد لذلك ارغب في الحصول على البرنامج لتجربته وفي حال ناسبني فسوف استمر به حتى النهاية حيث انني لم اجرب اي نظام غذائي سابقا لانها لا تناسبني بكل بساطة وقد قرات الكثير ولم اقتنع باي منها هذا وشكرا على المجهود الرائع

I learned about Joel’s cheaters diet back in 2003, when he announced it. Had amazing results almost immediately, dropped from 18% to 12% in 17 days. Joel knows his $h!+

Joel, I am a 52 year old woman who has been thin all her life, but after going through menopose and having a hysterectomy I gained 15 pounds 2 year ago, I have tried anything and everything to lose this weight with no result. I walk and exercise 6 days a week resting on the 7th day. I have always been a healthy eater and dont know why nothing helps. Winning a free copy of Cheat your way
thin would put my faith back into personal trainers and the fact that there is someone who knows what they are talking about.

Joel, this is an easy assignment. Its because I train hard, eat properly 99% of the time….and I’m at a constant plateau, nothing works! I’ve read all the other programs online, tried them all and despite my best efforts, dedication, compliance, they don’t work for me and its extremely frustrating, not to mention embarrassing…..I get made fun of all the time because of the way I eat and work out, and despite that I have been unable to transform my body to the lean physique I’m after. The thought of “cheating” is scary for me but after reading all the links you’ve provided and the testimonials I’m becoming excited about trying your program – and succeeding!! Julie.

Hi Joel,

I am really excited about this and truely hope that this will be the “lifestyle” plan for me. I’m not looking for yet another “diet” as I’ve tried so many and although lose some weight, put it back on very easily. I am 46 and workout, both resistance training and intervals. I have been doing this for over a year, but the fat, mainly belly fat is not going anywhere! Yes I do have some definition, but I desperately want to lose the extra weight before summer. This year we have a big family celebration in the UK (I live in Spain) and there will be loads of people there who I haven’t seen in the last 5 or so years and I would just love to look super lean, toned and fantastic!!

Best of luck on the 28th!!

Dear Joel, two years ago I planned out a holiday with my best friend. we were going to go to the beach, eat pancakes and kayak; all in bikinis. we were both overweight and thought this would be a great incentive to get fit. however, I have had a lot of trouble slimming down, and with only months to go before the holiday, I am desperate. we have always had a competitive attitude with eachother, but if I am still fat when this holiday comes, it won’t just be like losing a contest; it will be like I have been unable to commit to something we were going to do together, as friends (i.e., being hot bikini babes). I think your program is perfect for me because you actually get to eat, it is well-explained (I like to know the science behind things ;) ), and your testimonials all say that it is sensible, practical, and very effective. I would love to be given the opportunity to start this even a few days earlier than I would otherwise be able to.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this. I hope I didn’t bore you, and I hope you will consider me.

I have no idea if this plan would work for me. I guess that is why you have to try something to see if it works. I am 46 years old and have been very active and athletic all my life. But you always try to learn more about your body as they age especially for woman. I know each body is unique and each body faces challenges differently. So like I said I always want to learn more about my body and I would like to know more about your program.

Hi

I gained several stones when I had a thyroid tumour treated a few years ago. The doctor told me that I would return to my normal weight once my thyroxine levels stabilised, I never did. I am limited in the amount and type of exercise I can do due to ill-health and disability.

I have lost a little over 2 stones by myself by researching nutrition, and subsequent careful monitoring of the composition of my diet (I wasn’t eating enough protein), but I have hit a plateau that I just cannot get past, no matter how hard I try. My daughter is getting married in July and I would love to lose a little more so that I can wear a stylish outfit and not be the fattest person on the photos for a change.

Growing up in a Filipino family, eating and cooking were the central activities that brought us together. My grandma used to make our favourite meal on Sundays to show her love, and the best conversations happened around the dinner table. Until I moved away from home, controlling my portions and cravings came naturally because meals were more about family and keeping happy – I think it is hard to find overweight people who are happy and content. When I moved over 6,000 miles away from home, I was overweight for the first time in my life and could not get myself back into balance. Whenever I went home to visit and would be conscientious of what I ate, my family would get very upset because I was not supposed to refuse food they worked hard to make.

I want to get the balance back into my life – being healthy while I am away from home and being able to participate in my family’s passion for all kinds of food without feeling guilty or unhealthy. I want to be able to share the knowledge that this program will provide with my family at the table whilst partaking in our favourite activity.

Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, The Cookie Diet, counting calories, plain old eating healthy….I’ve tried them all! I have lost weight on these diets, but I couldn’t maintain them long enough to get down to my goal weight. Eventually after my weight loss stalled and I wasn’t seeing results anymore, I would “cheat” and fall off the wagon, starting a downward spiral, until I gained back all that weight I just lost. It’s happened to me on every single one of these diets. I’ve been counting down the days until Cheat Your Way Thin comes out! I seriously cannot wait to begin my fat loss journey for life, and be able to enjoy my favorite foods without gaining fat! I NEED this program because I’ve already tried all the others and they simply do not work for me. Thanks!!!

I like to cook (and eat) desserts, but i also like staying fit and looking my best. With this program i think ill be able to have my cake and eat it too. It seems like the perfect way to enjoy the things i like and continue to live a healthy life.

Cheat…is the perfect program for me personally and professionally. As a personal trainer my number one goal for clients is weight loss. I work at a Y with primarily an older population who have failed at dieting in the past. I know what doesn’t work but play hit or miss with what will work for myself and my clients. Your updates resonate with my own experience, there doesn’t have to be any off limit foods! Comfortable with my weight, I could still lose 10 more pounds. My husband needs to lose 50. I think he would be sucessful with your program. Promise to keep you informed on our progressl. Thanks.

In the last four years I have made great progress with losing weight, however i am what is classified as a skinny fat person. In clothes i look okay but naked is another story. I actually have the exercise down pat but the nutrition is a battle. I love to eat and am addicted to sugar/ chocolate. I have tried so many times to give up eating sweets but have not been able to conquer this demon to date. This program sounds just like what i need to be able to still eat the things I love but to burn the stubborn pounds of lower body fat and to do it in a sensible, scientific based approach. Joel has done a great job at explaining the concept but to have the exact program with the exact eating plan and guidelines would be a blessing. I obviously cannot do this alone so to have this program would be like having my own professional nutritionist/guide and i’m sure that would be the incentive I need to achieve my ultimate goal of having a lean, muscular, firm body that i’m proud to show off in a swimsuit and not feel embarrassed naked in front of my husband. Thank you Joel for this opportunity and for all the great info you have been posting lately to explain the reasoning behind your program design. i have found it extremely helpful and informative and as i feel that knowledge is power, i thank you for empowering me and your other subscribers. Great job.

Hi Joel,
Cheat Your Way Thin is the diet I’ve been waiting for! Having just turned 50 years old, I’m fairly fit but carrying 28% body fat and it’s time in my life to finally discard the lard! I let myself down with my poor eating habits and despite going on so many different “diets” in the past I can never get long term results. However since digesting the recent program updates from you I am convinced this program will guide me to shed the fat stuff and look great. The information I have received from you so far is fantastic, it makes so much sense to me and is a real taster to the actual program. I can’t wait to get started and become a better role model for my 3 young sons and perhaps even become a “before and after “ model for your website!
Thank you and Best Regards
Steve

I am your typical overweight business guy with lots of travel and eating on the run. In these tough economic times I am under even more pressure to bring home enough money to house and feed my family.

I have always had problems keeping my weight under control and have tried the usual diets out there with the typical short-term results – only to fall off the wagon because they were simply not sustainable in my real-world. I love gym time however the usual issues of time prioritisation apply and from experience – diet beats gym every-time for weight loss. I need a plan that doesn’t require me to be in the gym every day and one that allows me to cheat occasionally and have a quality of life.

Joel, I am desperate! I have small kids and want to be around to see them grow up. Being in my early 40′s, I am really worried that if I cannot achieve long-term sustainable weight control, I will become another diabetes or heart-attack statistic.

I am asking you to give me the chance at your plan that works for real-people in the real-world. In return you get my honest feedback and progress – if I can help others in my situation, I will gladly do so.

Hey Joel, I have been with Weight Watchers and had made lifetime and stayed there for a couple of years when I gained almost all my weight back, so joined them again and lost nothing! I have done a lot of internet searching on weight loss and just recently started weight training through an online personal trainer, but their diet is too restrictive. I love food, and I think your program would work best for me as I would have a “free” day. I really could use any help that I can get, I have been trying for over a year now without any success! Thanks!

I have tried what seems like several million diets and have combined them with a intense work out regime, but I don’t seem to lose the fat around my mid section. Hundreds of crunches, hours on the Cross Trainer, sit ups, a mixture of CV & resistance, and I still am struggling to get the sculpt physique I want. The new system that Joel has developed could help me to achieve that and fast! And if it works for me it will work for anyone!

The Cheat your way thin program would be an excellent program for me to use because I am in the Army and always moving and doing things; whether it is in the office I work in, or out in the field and all I have to eat is a MRE (Meal Ready to Eat). Every time I lose weight I tend to gain it right back, no matter how hard I try to keep it off. I am tired of the “yo-yo” effect and losing water weight; I want to lose the fat and keep it off. The best part would be I can still eat what everyone else is eating around me and no longer have to put up with the crap they give me for what I do eat. It would also be a great addition to the work outs that Jeff Anderson does and sends out on his emails, which is also how I found out about this NEW way to diet.

Jake

Why do I think this will be a great ‘diet’ for me? Well first off, I hope it’s an eating for life plan. I’ve done absolute clean eating before and gotten great results, but always fall off the clean wagon at certain times of year: summer (ice cream and frozen drinks = YUM; holiday foods = YUM!) I am tired of being the person who ‘can’t eat that’ and then eventually eating that and a whole lot more. So, I would like a program that will allow cheats without guilt WHILE successfully burning fat as well! I love to eat and I am a BIG eater, so hopefully this plan will work for me!

My wife and I are 51 and 50 respectively. We are on a program right now that requires us to eat a certain amount of protein fat and very little carbs. It is very hard to stick to something that is eliminating the fuel I think that is needed to get maximum results, Our energy levels are a lot lower and my strength has deminished quite a bit also. The work out routing is pretty good. You do a couple sets and then max out with six sets of one rep.(hint hint) We are in week ten of the system and the results are not what we had expected. We are looking for a system that can be encorporated into every day life and give us the results that are talked about from some of your clients. This system looks like the very thing that could give the results talked about. We are very dedicated to the systems that we try, even down to weighing our food, logging our routines, and drinking proper amounts of water. We just need a little more guidence.

Joel,

there is my body and on the other side are my desire to personify a total trained and healthy man.
But what is between them a little hope, the idea of a proper boring diet and not capable to stay for a long time, weight fluctuations like yo-yo effect, more and more snits and lately to relinquish your goals.
And guess what?
The solution is available right now with the ultimate “Cheat Your Way Thin” system.
The never ending story of fighting with your body such as a enemy ends.
That system runs on the roots together with your body, your great Leptin hormones, your thin wants, your fat loss success, your cravings, favourit food and a real treat eating and being slim.

Hi Joel
Cheat your way thin sounds like the perfect program for me for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I am a 20 year old university student who has been trying to lose stobborn fat for 3 years, and have never got close to managing it, even though I have tried many different work outs, and many different diets.
Because I am a student, I dont have many options when it comes to the food that I can eat. Most importantly however, because I have been trying these different diets for so long, with no real results, I am starting to lose the will to lose fat, as the process of it is just boring and depressing at the moment, but I believe that your program would bring a new perspective into the world of eating, and I am very eager to cheat my way thin!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! :)

Hi Joel,

From what I’ve read in your posts and the testimonials, I believe that Cheat Your Way Thin program is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for. I’ve done all the “classic” diets and even had some success, but I always eventually get REALLY MAD (was going to say something stronger, but you get the idea…) that I have to restrict myself so much all the time. So I get discouraged and end up “settling” for a weight and fat level that I previously thought was the best I could do. I’ve been working out faithfully for the past year and *finally* loving it, but the layers of fat on top are SOOOO discouraging! Now, I truly believe the Cheat Your Way Thin program IS the answer to help me get past that hurdle and truly accomplish my goals AND sustain it! Wow, what a concept!

I am absolutely ready to commit to this program and I can’t wait to get started!!!!!! Thanks for giving me hope that I WILL achieve my goals and thanks in advance for the ROCKING body I will soon have!

Joel, I can’t wait to get started on your program. I too completed the Body for Life challenge several years ago, I’m about to turn 34 next Monday and I am in the worse shape of my life. My only real excuse I can give, is I have put other priorities above my health and fitness. I was unemployed for several months, as I’m sure many folks have been, or are still. I feel this program is coming to me at the perfect time though. I just started a new job this week, the birth of my second daughter was in Feb, (she’s beautiful and healthy) and I’m just ready to make a change to be better me and the people around me. There’s really nothing better than helping other people change, when they notice that you’re changing, and they ask you what’s your secret. Can’t wait man!

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Joel,

First of all, thank you for the oppurtunity to win a free copy of your program.
As for my comment why you program would work for me…. well, I have tried everything that there is on the market (nutrition and fitness programs), just to name a few: Turbulence Training, 10 Minute trainer, P90X, The Firm, The healthy eating plan of Global Fitness, etc etc…. I do allot of fitness 6 days a week, rightnow I’m doing the P90X program… ofcourse all of this helps, but it does not give me the results I want. And that’s because I’m eating too many calories at the wrong time…. I’m familiar with the carb cyceling process… but don’t know how this really works… I’m advised to do carb cyceling every 2 days… but then with healthy foods… and because of the “diet” foods, I tend to loose control over my diet and overeat or cheat…. and as you mentioned… this is the worst feeling there is… I’ve been training soo hard and only by eating a brownie, a slice of pizza can ruin your entire week….
So let’s see how your program can help me. As you mentioned, your program can afforded by anyone… so it would be nice to win a free copy but I’m also willing to buy one…. I’m just really interested on what’s next on the market that can get me those six pack I’ve always wanted and for which I’ve been training for the past 6 years!
Thanks again for the oppurtunity.

Joel,

I am a 54 year old bodybuilder. I have a muscular physique for a person of my “vintage”. However, I am finding it increasingly difficult to get lean enough to place well in the events that I enter( I won my class in 2005, but placed 2nd and 4th in two subsequent contests). When I first started to compete in my 20′s, the importance of muscle mass, sheer size, was more valued than today. Today there has been a shift, its much more about being “ripped”, at least at the level I compete at. Coming in “cut” just doesn’t cut it anymore (excuse the play on words here). The treadmill has replaced the squat rack in the gym when it comes to contest preparation.
Your ideas and expertise seem to be exactly what I need. I plan to compete again this November so I have plenty of time. I’d love to give your course a go and see where it takes me. Please put me up for consideration. Thanks Joel. Gary.

I’ve been working out and eating well for about five years. My work in the gym has really paid off. I eat well when it comes to overall health and weight, but not necessarily for maximizing muscle gain and fat loss. The area in which I struggle, particularly as I get older, is in keeping bodyfat low. I made big gains when I first started training but seem to have stagnated over the past two years. I need a program that can help with bodyfat, not just weight. What’s the point in being thin and flabby? From what I’ve read, your program sounds ideal for me. The periodic high-carb refeeds are right down my alley. And being a bit of a data junkie, I really want to learn more about how to manage leptin and make it work for me. I wish I could close by imploring you to consider me because I am grossly overweight and need all the help I can get, but that just ain’t so. So I’m hoping you’ll consider helping someone who’s disciplined and committed and wants to cross the finish line looking great. :)

At 48, I’m beyond the point in my life where I could radically alter my lifestyle with an extreme diet. I need to lose the last 20 pounds and nothing so far has worked. I like sweets and wouldn’t want to cut them out of my life. Cheating my way thin seems like the perfect solution.

I am a 55 year old pastor who tries to keep myself in relatively good shape; however my vocation is not a physical job and is quite demanding on my time, so I get almost no exercise from my work. In addition I am frequently invited to cover dish (pot-luck) dinners where temptations to eat all the wrong things abound. I need a plan that will allow me to eat what I want occasionally while I watch what I eat the rest of the time. Currently I am at about twelve percent body fat, but still have a problem with belly fat which really looks out of place on my otherwise fit body. From what I have read this is a program I could follow without investing too much more in my routine.

Throughout the majority of my adulthood, I always achieved weight control through a variety of exercise activity. However life is always full of surprises, and I am currently dealing with progressive physical issues creating an impairment that currently prevents me from even light exercise activity. During past years, I’ve cut my caloric intake excessively, and that seemed to be the only method for me to reduce or sustain my weight. Of course that can work only temporarily. ; (
Obviously that merely cut back my metabolism, creating a catch-22 scenario.
It doesn’t help that my favorite food is pizza, and that I crave chocolate and that I enjoy my red wine!!
During a recent appointment with my medical professional, leptin was addressed. It may be the key issue with which I am dealing and I anticipate that it may help me with weight control even in this physical situation in which I find myself. This diet, with its leptin-promoting techniques, may well be just one piece of the puzzle along with the various medical procedures I have utilized….to enable me to re-gain my life. ; )

Cheat Your Way Thin would be the perfect program for me because I don’t have many pounds to lose and everyone knows that the last 10 are the hardest. I’d like to see if this lifestyle can help everyone–not just those with huge numbers, and I’d like to share my success with others.

I lost 22lbs on my own over the course of the last year using calorie counting and exercise (I went from 152 to 130 but crept back up to 135). I’m 5’5″ and I am at my best weight at 125. I’m also in my late 30s. Not only am I trying to lose those stubborn last 10, but keep them off without losing my sanity in the process. I just need a little bit of guidance, Joel–no sob stories here, only personal responsibility and education. I’d like to put your program to the test and have fun doing it!

Hi Joel- this sounds like a real solution to lose the fat from my many decades of weight gain. Having tried all the fads diets with no long-term success, I was resigned to live with my fat. Health concerns and menopause are triggering my interest in your program because of your genuine nature and realistic approach. Looking forward to using your program because it sounds like it will work at home as well as on business travel. Looking forward to being one of your succe
