Most weight loss plans have you starve to lose weight and that, combined with tons of exercise, painfully makes the pounds come off. Unfortunately, a lot of those pounds are muscle. Cheat Your Way Thin helps you burn fat and helps your body get the nourishment it needs. The specialized eating plan helps your body release fat and burns it naturally.

I should say that the “specialized eating” is the best part. Basically, you spend a week eating healthy, nourishing food and about once a week you get a “cheat” day when you can eat whatever you want–the sky’s the limit. I have a weakness for Belgian waffles, doughnuts and steaks and that’s what I stuffed myself with on my cheat days.

Eating all that fat and carbohydrates actually helped my body burn more fat because it takes fat to burn fat. Joel’s plan was really easy to follow and came with all the descriptions, charts, lists, tables, and handy meal cards that you need to follow his plan to the letter. I liked that everything was spelled-out and simple. I didn’t have to think about it, I just followed the charts and the pounds came off.

Cheat Your Way Thin is an amazing diet that doesn’t feel like a diet. If you’re sick of starving and suffering, give it a try. You’ll love getting to cheat your way to better health.
