When you think of diets, odds are good you imagine deprivation with no room for the foods you love. But the Cheat Your Way Thin program is a diet with a twist. While there is plenty of focus on eating healthy foods that will keep you in shape, this program not only makes room for some cheating, but actually makes it mandatory. It may sound too good to be true, but the Cheat Days built into the Cheat Your Way Thin program actually serve a purpose and help you lose weight.

Author Joel Marion builds his nutrition program around the Glycemic Index, rating foods on the way in which they affect the insulin levels in your blood. The way your body reacts to foods determines whether you will gain or lose weight, and the Cheat Your Way Thin system uses this fact to provide a weekly diet system that speeds metabolism and burns fat.

With an easy to understand method of measuring how much you should eat based on portion sizes measured against your hand, the Cheat Your Way Thin system makes putting meals together simple. If you are a calorie counter, the program has an option for you as well. Each day of the week has a specific Glycemic Index approach. Each week features a mix of Low Carb days, Low Glycemic Days and High Glycemic Days. And of course the Cheat Days are a part of the program as well.

The program lists all of the foods that fall into each category so that individuals can select the foods they want to eat and be certain they fit into the program. Foods are chosen from the Fats, Carbs, and Protein categories in specific amounts. A list of “free vegetables” is also provided that are permitted in unlimited quantities.

Marion breaks up the weight loss program into three main phases, a Low Carb Priming Phase where you prepare your body for the main part of the diet, a Core Phase where the days are aligned in a specific order for weight loss, and a Maintenance Phase. The Priming Phase lasts for three weeks, after which you will enter the Core Phase for as long as it takes to reach your goal weight. Once achieved, you move onto the Maintenance Phase, which becomes a regular lifestyle. The author provides specific methods for tracking progress by measuring not just weight, but body fat percentage and also inches around the waist and other parts of the body.

Along with the nutrition program, there is also a targeted fitness program to help boost metabolism and burn fat. Marion recommends a system of Mixed Intensity Training (MIT) to fit into the program. Each of the exercise moves is explained and then placed in order; all you have to do is follow along. The moves provided are simple and require no advanced skills or complicated equipment.

The Cheat Your Way Thin program is a comprehensive nutrition and fitness plan that makes use of what is known about how the body metabolizes different foods as well as what type of exercise burns fat best. And the author Joel Marion provides plenty of room for customizing to your needs, and makes the program easy to follow. Best of all, you won’t feel deprived on this program, thanks to the cheat days that let you eat the foods you love.
