I’ve got a few questions about Joel Marion’s Cheat Your Way Thin diet which I recommended here. As a reminder: you can get this product at half the price until Friday June 26th 2009 12AM EST. So that’s a few hours from now.

Q&A 1.

Nice one Mehdi thanks, after reading your article I decided to pull the trigger on this one.

Some interesting stuff, great idea, few concerns though. Mainly being the overall amount of calories that is recommended seems to be extremely low, due to the formula he is using to calculate your daily needs. That leads on to my concern about the start up phase which seems to just mean many days in a row of very low calorie intakes.

Wouldn’t the start up phase at the least course the body to crash?

The 1st week on Cheat Your Way Thin starts with a huge caloric spike. So your carb stores will be full enough to get you through that week. Training can be a hard though, much like the first 12 days on the Anabolic Diet.

The 2nd week carbs are reintroduced so no more problems there.

Note that the Deluxe Upgrade of Cheat Your Way Thin has a more accurate calorie calculator.

Q&A 2.

I’m interested in this one too. Mainly though, I’m interested in the science behind it.

I wonder how this is different from a junk day that we usually seem to take in this forum.

Do you know if the basic version is enough? Or the advanced version is a must have..?

Cheat Your Way Thin has all the science. It explains how junk food helps fat loss and problems you encounter when restricting calories for extended times.

The difference with what most people do is that with Cheat Your Way Thin you have to be strict 6 days a week. Then only do you deserve the junk food. The 90% rule remains. But you get all your junk meals on 1 day.

Eating junk food the other days will mess things up. You must be stricter.

I feel this works better. You’ll tend to stick better to your diet on weekdays since you’re busy with work and everything. Bigger temptations in weekend with social stuff & general laziness to cook.

The Deluxe Upgrade of Cheat Your Way Thin is worth it if you don’t want to do the thinking yourself recipe-wise. You’ll get 130 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and shakes. And also 84 days of meal plans.

Q&A 3.

Oh right so I’m guessing the cheat day you do right before you start sees you through the week then.

What about the amount of calories though it seems so small compared to any other diet/calculator I’ve come across before?

Sorry for the questions, I just don’t wanna end up losing any of my hard gained muscle even for the sake of a big fat loss!

-jj23

Yes the cheat day gets you through the week, that’s the point.

The cheat day spikes your calorie intake. If you look at how many calories you get at the end of the week or month, you’ll see that you won’t eat less than before on average when doing Cheat Your Way Thin.

And don’t worry too much about the first 3 weeks. Those are just to get you ready.

Q&A 4.

Can u give me examples of meals on a daily basis with meals including cheat meals.. like for example if i wana eat in and out?
