If you’re one of the approximately 67% of Americans that are wired into the internet, there’s a good chance that sometime in the last 24 hours you’ve received at least one spam email promoting the latest and greatest diet pill or weight loss program. These diet products promise fast weight loss results, often without any effort or exercise. The never-ending promise of a weight loss pill that actually works keeps us hoping for eventual success.

At the same time, we’re continually inundated with news of the most recent diet and how this time it’s really going to work for us. The South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, the Atkins Diet, the Low Carb Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the Mediterranean Diet, the LA Weight Loss Diet, the Weight Watchers Diet, the Diabetic Diet, the Low Cholesterol Diet, the Prescription Pill Diet, the 3 Day Diet, the Low Fat Diet, the High Protein Diet, the Maker Diet, the Liquid Diet, the Grapefruit Diet, the Fad Diet, the Blood Type Diet, the GI Diet, the Vegetarian Diet, the Vegan Diet, the Detox Diet, the Dash Diet, the Candida Diet, the Gluten Free Diet, the Hollywood Diet, the Negative Calorie Diet, the 1200 Calorie Diet, the Raw Food Diet, the Phentermine Diet, the High Fiber Diet, the Macrobiotic Diet, the Science Diet, the Lemonade Diet, the Scarsdale Diet, the Diverticulitis Diet and the Fat Flush Diet are all examples of diet plans that promise to help us achieve quick weight loss.

Crash diets, weight loss pills and get-thin-quick gimmicks are more prevalent than ever, yet two-thirds of our population is still overweight. Even more startling is the fact that approximately one-third of the people in our country are clinically obese.

With all of these ‘solutions’ available to us, why is it that obesity trends have been alarming enough to prompt the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) to label obesity a national epidemic? Why are we still, as a nation, getting fatter? It’s certainly not because we’re not trying.

On the contrary, as a nation we’re trying harder than ever to lose fat through diet and other weight loss products. As reported by CNN on 1-14-05 “Americans were expected to spend more than $40 billion in 2004 on weight control pills, gym memberships, diet plans and related foods, estimates Marketdata Enterprises, which studies the weight loss industry.” Furthermore, statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that 80 percent of overweight individuals and almost 87 percent of obese individuals are trying to lose or maintain their weight.

As reported by mygoals.com, 80 percent of Americans made a New Year’s resolution in 2005. A whopping 26 percent of those resolutions were to improve overall health and fitness, making this the top category for self-improvement. This year was no anomaly, either, according to Amy O’Connor, deputy editor of Prevention magazine: “Fifty-nine million people every year resolve to lose weight.”

So, is there a healthy diet product out there that will actually work? More than likely, the answer is yes. Although there is quite a bit of fraudulent weight loss merchandise on the market today, there is also (somewhere out there) a diet program and weight loss plan that will work for us. The challenge is to find that diet product or diet plan.

-> Repeat Business:

The diet and weight loss industry is a huge money making machine. According to Marketdata Enterprises, the annual revenue for the diet industry was over $30 billion dollars in 1990. A 2005 report by Stanford University documents that the consumer diet industry is now approximately $44 billion and growing. With all this money flowing around, haven’t we as a country spent enough to fix the obesity problem once and for all?

How can the diet industry keep making more and more money, year after year? After all, $44 billion dollars is a lot of cash! The answer to that question is simple: repeat business. “98% of today’s dieters gain the weight back in 5 years. 90% of those individuals end up gaining back more than they lost originally, due to the body’s panic and efforts to stabilize metabolic rates over the long term” (Source: Stanford University; stanford.edu).

How do the diet-promoters get all that repeat business? The diet industry is a very unique enterprise in that, when it fails someone, they rarely blame the product. We are hard-pressed to find another business where, if the product doesn’t work, we blame ourselves. All too often, after giving up on yet another diet program, we find ourselves thinking “Well, I guess I’m just not a good enough dieter.” The tendency is for us to believe that we failed the diet rather than the other way around.

Apply this same logic to the automotive industry, and it soon becomes clear just how faulty this line of reasoning really is. What would happen if we take our car in to the mechanic for repairs and when we returned to pick it up he told us that although we still had to pay the bill, he was unable to fix the problem? Would we willing pay the bill anyway and just say “Oh well, I guess it’s just a bad car?” Of course not! That would be ridiculous! But that’s exactly what we do when it comes to diets.

-> One Size Does Not Fit All:

What we need to realize is that there is probably a weight loss product or weight loss plan out there that will work for us, but it may not be the same one our friends or co-workers used. To find the best weight loss program for us, we absolutely must realize that one size does not fit all. What worked for our sibling or spouse may not work for us, and what works for us may not work for them.

It’s probably safe to say that any diet supplement has helped somebody, but it’s also true that no weight loss drug or plan has helped everybody. Each person has a unique metabolism and very individual nutritional needs, so no single plan will work for everyone.

-> How To Find The Right Weight Loss Diet:

Some fat burner products on the market today do indeed work. Others are a complete rip-off. How do you tell the difference? Where do you go for accurate and reliable weight loss information?

First and foremost, talk with your doctor. Your own personal physician is likely to be honest with you and provide you with the facts. In addition, he or she can help you decide which weight loss supplement may be right for your personal situation.

There are also quite a few reputable organizations that provide accurate information on fat loss. Some of the better resources include:
* American Cancer Society – www.cancer.org
* Centers For Disease Control – www.cdc.gov
* Diet Scam Watch – www.dietscam.org
* Calories Per Hour – www.caloriesperhour.com
* Harvard Medical School – www.health.harvard.edu
* Mayo Clinic – www.mayoclinic.org
* Shape Up America – www.shapeup.org
* Calorie Control Council – www.caloriecontrol.org
* President’s Council On Physical Fitness – www.fitness.gov

When seeking a healthy weight loss plan, it’s important that no food be strictly forbidden. There should not be any (or many) foods that we avoid completely 100% of the time. Why? Because that sets us up for failure! For example, if fudge is one of our favorites and we force ourselves to NOT eat fudge at the holiday party, then for many of us what we’ve done is set ourselves up for a binge fudge-festival.

Avoiding our favorite foods entirely is a too much self-deprivation for most people, and this sets us up for binge-eating. That’s a recipe for disaster!

A much better approach is to enjoy foods in moderation. Watch those serving sizes! Enjoy and savor one piece of fudge! It’s better to enjoy one piece of fudge and then stop than attempt to deprive ourselves entirely, only to end up eating the whole pan.

A good diet and nutrition program will also help us keep in mind the cost of the foods we eat. We’re not talking about dollars and cents here, but the FITNESS cost of the food. When picking up that fudge, keep in mind what it will cost to enjoy it. When picking up a plate at the buffet table, let’s take a moment to pause and think to ourselves: “The cost of this fudge will be an extra _____ minutes of exercise…..is that worth it to me?” Maybe. Maybe not. That’s for each of us to decide on our own.

The point is that we should be conscious of our food decisions. No foods are forbidden entirely, but we do need to watch our portion sizes and carefully consider the cost of each food. Any good weight management program will incorporate these concepts and also will be approved by your doctor.

-> How To Find The Right Weight Loss Supplement:

Perhaps even more so than with weight loss diets, when searching for weight loss supplements it is critical to rely on the advice of your physician. The careful and supervised use of weight loss diet pills, combined with a sensible diet and regular exercise, can lead to quick weight loss and even easy weight loss (or at least easier than you expected).

Beware, however, the supplement scams on the market. It seems that every time we turn around we are blasted and bombarded with the latest, greatest, new and improved treatment for obesity. The gimmicks just keep coming. The sad truth is that few of these products work. Even fewer will result in real, permanent and lasting fat loss. A very few of the weight loss gimmicks on the market today are not only a consumer rip-off, but they are also quite dangerous…..even deadly.

As an example, consider the prescription diet drug Meridia. Does it help you lose weight? For some people, the answer is yes. For others, the answer is no. Can it kill you? The answer to this question seems to be a nervous ‘maybe’. “The consumer group Public Citizen had petitioned the Food and Drug Administration for a ban, citing Meridia users who died of heart problems as young as their 20s and 30s. Even before Meridia was approved for sale, the FDA knew it could increase users’ blood pressure, the group contended.” (Source: cnn.com)

This week the FDA again refused to ban Meridia, even though whistleblower David Graham (an FDA drug safety officer) testified to Congress last fall that his agency was allowing five unsafe medicines to stay on the market, including Meridia.

Another example of a dangerous weight loss drug is ephedra. Ephedra was banned in the United States last year, in part due to numerous deaths attributed to this popular weight loss supplement. On April 14 2005, a federal Judge in Utah reversed the short-lived ban on ephedra. Within minutes, spammers were filling our email boxes with messages to BUY BUY BUY before ephedra was banned again.

Yes, ephedra will help some people lose weight. Yes, ephedra is safe for some people in low doses. But there is that little nagging fact that people have DIED and that their deaths have been attributed to ephedra use…..

Yet another example of a dangerous diet drug is steroids. For whatever reason, some people have decided that anabolic steroids are the best way to lose weight. Despite the well-documented and serious side-effects of steroid use, the lure of easy weight loss has caused many to throw caution to the wind. Perhaps the most concerning trend is steroid use among our teenage population: “Teens also listed steroids, growth hormone, amino acids and other potentially unhealthful products among those they’d tried in the previous year.” (Source: cnn.com)

There do exist, however, some diet supplements that work and are also quite safe. Again, it is never a good idea to begin any supplementation program without first seeking the advice and approval of your doctor.

Three popular and dependable fat loss products designed to help you lose weight fast are ChromeMate, Lipotropic Plus and Super L-Carnitine.

Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. ChromeMate, a unique form of niacin-bound chromium, is designed to optimize energy output. It accomplishes this by increasing the amount of glucose available for energy production nearly twenty-fold. It also is the “master” nutrient for controlling blood sugar, which in turn curbs sugar cravings. What’s more, a study at Auburn University showed that ChromeMate reduced LDL cholesterol by an average of 14%. In fact, ChromeMate has been awarded a patent for lowering cholesterol.

The Lipotropic Plus Formula is scientifically-engineered to assist in the breakdown, distribution and burning (oxidation) of fatty acids. The active ingredients actually accelerate the fat-burning process by breaking down fat cells into smaller particles (emulsification) to be used for fuel during exercise.

Super L-Carnitine is essential for fat burning. I.B. Fritz and K.T.N. Yue, physiologists from the University of Michigan, discovered that Carnitine actually accelerates fat-burning. Without it, fat is unable to penetrate the walls of the mitochondria of the muscle cells. Carnitine is the shuttle that carries fat into your body’s furnaces (muscles) to be burned for energy. Super L-Carnitine increases the rate of fat utilization for fuel.

-> Weight Loss Exercise:

In this article we’ve been discussing weight loss diets and weight loss supplements. At this point it is essential that we add the third and most important component of overall health and fitness: exercise.

Exercise is one weight loss method that has never been banned, has never led to an investigation, and has never been been listed on a ‘whistleblower’ fraud report.

Exercise is the only path to health and fitness that virtually every doctor in the world agrees upon. Exercise is safe, effective, and brings many more benefits to our lives than diets or drugs ever will alone. Exercise is fun, invigorating, motivating and the single most powerful way to improve our life and well-being!

Yes, it’s quite possible to lose weight without participating in regular exercise. However, diet and exercise combined will help us burn fat faster than we thought possible! Weight loss achieved by regular exercise and diet will be healthy weight loss because of all the benefits we obtain from regular exercise:

1. Strengthens muscles
2. Strengthens bone
3. Strengthens ligaments
4. Strengthens tendons
5. Strengthens immune system
6. Improves muscle tone
7. Improves endurance
8. Improves strength
9. Improves self esteem
10. Improves confidence
11. Improves balance
12. Improves physical appearance
13. Improves physical performance
14. Improves glucose tolerance
15. Improves circulation
16. Improves memory
17. Lower risk of heart disease
18. Lower risk of diabetes
19. Lower risk of cancer
20. Lower blood pressure
21. Lower cholesterol
22. Lower risk of stroke
23. Lower risk of osteoporosis
24. Lower risk of osteoarthritis
25. Lower requirements for medication
26. Lower risk of injury
27. Lower bodyfat
28. Helps with sleep disorders
29. Reduces post-operative complications
30. Reduces frequency of illness
31. Prevent Alzheimer’s disease
32. Prevents muscle loss
33. Increases metabolism
34. Eases symptoms of menopause
35. Healthier pregnancy
36. Fewer problems with childbirth
37. Reduces ovulation problems
38. Prevents heartburn

Reaching your ideal weight via a healthy and active lifestyle has been found to lower health risks and medical problems in 90 percent of overweight patients. In addition to the exercise benefits listed above, fit people are eight times less likely to die from cancer than the unfit, and 53 percent less likely to die from other diseases. Fit people are also eight times less likely to die from heart disease.

Without a doubt, regular exercise is the most important piece of the puzzle and the best way to achieve rapid weight loss. Exercise is the safest way to achieve permanent fat loss, and when combined with a sound diet and nutrition program the body is turned into a virtual fat-burning furnace!

-> Conclusion:

Fast weight loss is possible if we, under the supervision and approval of our doctor, combine a sensible diet with a diet pill or weight loss pill that is safe and effective. When we combine these three fat-burning strategies it is almost guaranteed that we will experience quick weight loss results.

When you consider the big lifestyle change that comes with weight loss, shedding extra pounds is the easy part. The hardest part, however, is keeping the weight from coming back, according to many people attempting to diet. You may be wondering how to undertake such a task. Of course there is! Diet diaries assist you in staying

Record your weight loss progress.

Keeping a diet diary benefits weight control by encouraging:

1. By keeping a diary every day, you keep yourself focused on the task at hand as well as how critical achieving your goals truly is.

2) Planning: Many dieters fail because they don’t have regular meal plans and aren’t sure what to do for their daily activities. Without proper planning, a goal is little more than a wish — which doesn’t always lead to change. If you make your plan a week in advance, you are more likely to be successful. Be sure that you will able to stay with your plan with all that you have going on.

Don’t deviate from your plan once you have it. If you can’t stick to your plan, write down why. Keep track of the people that were around you when it happened and the situation that you were in. Consider this a situation that is high risk and use your information to help prevent it from happening again.

3. You can keep track of how you are doing by making use of your diary and reflecting back. The behavioral patterns that tend to move you toward your goals or block your progress will become clear as you read through your diary. Keep in mind that you should support all of your efforts toward self-improvement, whether they’re weight-related or not.

In the free statement that Joel Marion released in April 2010, the claim that the Xtreme Fat Loss diet may triple your fat burning rate has been produced. In this article I want to see whether or not that claim is for real and answer an issue you might be asking yourself since the time you’ve heard about this particular exercise and diet plan: Does Xtreme Fat Loss Diet Program seriously work?

Why don’t we start with the triple your fat reduction claim. Joel helps make the case that by creating certain alterations and modifications to your eating and workout routine it is possible to improve your metabolism, fat reducing hormones, and total flab busting ability to a whole new level. I have no question that Joel has been doing his homework and bases the recommendations he makes within the plan on extensive study. Joel Marion is fairly famous for being a trainer who bases his programs and tips on substantial research and scientific info, therefore I do not doubt what he’s stating.

Nonetheless, stating that one could triple your fat loss could be overstated or just not accurate in certain cases. It is extremely challenging to make this type of generic comment as each person burns excessive fat at a completely different rate than another. Likewise, some people would see a massive improvement in how they will feel and look when using the Extreme Fat Loss program and several may encounter a small one.

What I’m saying is the fact that I can’t be certain that you would lose weight at triple the speed you’d have done otherwise. What I do know is the fact that this program could work for you and can produce results.

Nevertheless, this program (or any other) is not going to work unless you’re willing to put in lots of work yourself. The routines within this system may not be simple. They will possibly prove to be an actual difficult task for you. It is a shame, but it really is the only way to get real life results. While shady internet marketers may attempt to sell weight loss items that prove the world and provide very little, the truth is that you need to make an effort to achieve results.

This is the only thing that Joel Marion is recommending: if you’re prepared to take the time and follow his program to the letter, the info, workouts, and nutritional guidelines in the Xtreme Fat Loss System will help you accomplish a quicker fat burning rate. Perhaps not triple what you’re accomplishing right now, but faster nevertheless.

Just utilize this system if you are prepared to make the effort necessary. If not, do not worry with it.

Numerous people on diets stop eating as much food when they’re trying to shed extra weight. If you want to reduce your weight rapidly, you need to reduce your fat intake, reduce calories by eating less, and eating foods that contain less energy, as well as consume less foods that take an effort to burn off. Look at what you eat in a day and figure out how you can get rid of everything that is processed. Regardless of the amount of weight you need to lose, if you’ve made the decision to do so, follow the following advice and you can achieve your goal. Exercising more often and eating better is the most successful way to lose weight. Losing approximately a pound per week is an achievable goal that is highly recommended.

Rapid Weight Loss Diet tips.

1 – First, you need to set a goal you can really achieve. Talk to your doctor and use a BMI chart to determine the best weight for someone of your age and height. The safest weight loss goals are those that allow you to lose weight slowly. A safe weight loss is considered to be about .5 to 2 lbs every seven days.

2. A diet isn’t the way to lose weight in a permanent way, but you can change the way you live to achieve that. You will need to reduce how many calories you consume by reducing your portion size and selecting items that do not contain lots of calories. Exercising is also an important factor.

3. Look at your portions and realize that you can change the way that you enjoy food by staying away from choices that contain empty calories and unhealthy fats, like fast food and sweets. Minimize the amount of cholesterol, trans fats and saturated fats. There are better choices that are readily available to you, like whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans. The additional fiber of these food items will fill you up without contributing unnecessary calories.

4 – The majority of fitness professionals suggest that your low-calorie eating plan be combined with additional exercise. You can benefit from exercise, even if it is not strenuous. Some studies indicate that if you exercise twice a day this is just as useful as working out for an extended amount of time. Every day, you should be devoting half of an hour to exercise that is considered moderate, in order to achieve weight loss while staying healthy. Walking is a great method of getting exercise, and just about everybody can do it.

5. Essentially, managing your weight and keeping it off relies entirely upon creating realistic expectations and goals. With a set of sensible goals in place, it’s far more likely that you’ll attain them and the odds that you’ll keep the extra weight off are greater. When your life incorporates eating healthy and physical activity on a regular basis, your weight loss can easily be permanent.

Everyone knows the keys to losing weight: Eat less and exercise more. Sounds simple enough, but in the context of real life and its demands, it can be anything but simple. So how do successful losers do it? To find out, Top Diet Secrets asked experts across the country for their best diet tips. Here’s what they said Best Diet Tip No. 1: Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages.

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need. If you don’t like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories.

Best Diet Tip No. 2: Think about what you can add to your diet, not what you should take away.

Start by focusing on getting the recommended 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. It sounds like a lot, but it is well worth it, because at the same time you are meeting your fiber goals and feeling more satisfied from the volume of food.

You’re also less likely to overeat because fruits and vegetables displace fat in the diet. And that’s not to mention the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. More than 200 studies have documented the disease-preventing qualities of phytochemicals found in produce. Work vegetables into meals instead of just serving them as sides on a plate.

Best Diet Tip No. 3: Consider whether you’re really hungry.

Whenever you feel like eating, look for physical signs of hunger.

Hunger is your body’s way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a craving doesn’t come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it.

When you’re done eating, you should feel better — not stuffed, bloated, or tired.

Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so it takes just a handful of food to fill it comfortably.

Keeping your portions reasonable will help you get more in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness.

Best Diet Tip No. 4: Be choosy about nighttime snacks.

Mindless eating occurs most frequently after dinner, when you finally sit down and relax.

Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack, like a 100-calorie pack of cookies or a half-cup scoop of low-fat ice cream. Once you find that you’re usually satisfied with the low-cal snack, try a cup of zero-calorie tea.

Best Diet Tip No. 5: Enjoy your favorite foods.

Putting  your favorite foods off limits leads to weight gain because it triggers ‘rebound’ overeating.

Instead of cutting out your favorite foods altogether, be a slim shopper. Buy one fresh bakery cookie instead of a box, or a small portion of sweets from the bulk bins instead of a whole bag. down with a bag of chips or cookies in front of the television is an example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat without being hungry, but out of

You can enjoy your favorite foods, but you must do so in moderation.

Best Diet Tip No. 6: Enjoy your treats away from home.

When you need a treat, take a a walk to your local park or plan a family outing

By making it into an adventure, you don’t have to worry about the temptation of having treats in the house, and it is a fun and pleasurable way to make it work when you are trying to lose weight.

And for those times you just can’t get out? Stock your kitchen with fresh fruit, which  can be every bit as delicious as any other dessert.

Best Diet Tip No. 7: Eat several mini-meals during the day.

If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you’re hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be challenging.

Studies show people who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are better able to control their appetite and weight.

She recommends dividing your daily calories into smaller meals or snacks and enjoying as many of them as you can early in the day — dinner should be the last time you eat.

Best Diet Tip No. 8: Eat protein at every meal.

Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control.

Diets higher in protein [and] moderate in carbs, along with a lifestyle of regular exercise, have an excellent potential to help weight loss,”Getting enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, like yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.

Best Diet Tip No. 9: Spice it up.

Add spices or chiles to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.

Food that is loaded with flavor will stimulate your taste buds and be more satisfying so you won’t eat as much,

When you need something sweet, suck on a red-hot fireball candy for a long-lasting burst of sweetness with just a few calories

Best Diet Tip No. 10 : Snacks

Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You’ll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.

Stock your kitchen with:

94% fat-free microwave popcorn (20-25 calories per cup, and you can make it in two minutes or less) Frozen vegetables Bags of pre-washed greens Canned tomatoes Canned beans Whole-grain wraps or pitas Pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts A few containers of pre-cooked brown rice

Best Diet Tip No. 11: Order childrens portions at restaurants.

When you are eating out, order a child’s pizza or a small sandwich as an easy way to trim calories and get your portions under control. Another trick is to use smaller plates. This helps the portions look like more, and if your mind is satisfied, your stomach likely will be, too.

Best Diet Tip No. 12: Eat foods in season.

If you don’t love certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little taste or flavor. When you eat seasonally, fruits and vegetables are more flavorful, at their best.

Best Diet Tip No. 13: Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.

Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress  size in a year.

Best Diet Tip No. 15: Be physically active.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, don’t use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to “earn” the right to eat more.

When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise.

Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables.

Best Diet Tip No. 14: Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress.

Sooner or later, you’re going to be faced with a stressful situation. Instead of turning to food for comfort, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you.

The cheat your way thin diet focuses on helping people lose weight eating what they love. Instead of blaming our favorite foods for our weight, the cheat your way thin diet helps dieters understand why most diets do not work. Years of medical research backs the system and it has been featured on a lot of television shows, news programs and in magazines. 

Joel Marion, the Cheat Your Way Thin diet designer, spent years unsuccessfully trying to lose weight. He stumbled upon the basic premise of the diet on accident. He went on to research his findings and use medical evidence to back his claims.  

As a nationally published author, Joel has appeared on radio and television as a weight loss and fitness expert. Cheat your Way Thin is truly a different kind of diet. The diet focuses on the body’s natural inclination to protect itself from danger including the possibility of starvation. Starvation is a very real threat to our bodies and our instincts automatically fight against this possibility. 

Most diets want people to starve themselves through calorie reduction. In doing this the body goes on the defensive and starts to store as much body fat as possible to protect itself. This is why the more someone diets the more likely they are to not lose weight. 

Joel spent over 6 years researching the information that supports this diet. Seventy-three months of researching medical findings and reports led to an in-depth understanding of how our bodies work. At the diet’s main website, there are over 300 listed references. 

The evidence and testimonials are overwhelming. Joel’s diet has been in top national magazines such as Men’s Fitness and Woman’s Day, on news shows such as Fox News, and on Sirius satellite radio. Cheat your way thin is not a fad diet. It is a diet based on our body’s preprogrammed desire to survive. It is both reputable and long lasting with a large following, strong testimonials and the support of the press. 

The entire diet focuses on helping you learn how and when to eat your favorite foods. In fact, learning how to strategically cheat with pizza, ice cream, chocolate and everything else you crave and desire is essential to losing weight and keeping it off. Calorie manipulation protects your metabolism. Long-term, healthy weight loss is supported by the Cheat Your Way Thin diet plan.
