Most Controversial Diet Book I Ever Reviewed

My integrity got called into question.

People actually got angry with me about recommending this book.

I got so many questions about the Cheat to Lose Diet (http://tinyurl.com/cheat-to-get-rockstar-lean), I was shocked.

Most of them fell into one of two categories:

1.) No way.  Sounds to good to be true.  Is it true?

                              OR

2.) I already know about cheat meals, why are you telling me about this?

Well, you're both right, and you're both wrong.

Cheat to Lose is a little different from anything I ever recommended before.  You may note that there are two books I ALWAYS recommend when it comes to diet.

1.) Eating For Life, by Bill Phillips

2.) Eating Clean, by Tosca Reno

Both are really good at outline my philosophy about food, but both suck when it comes to talking about cheat meals.

Eating for Life just says "Eat what ever you want on your free day!", which is a recipe for disaster.

Eating Clean says "You don't ever have a free day!", which is a recipe for disaster.

Cheat to Lose really breaks down Leptin's role in metabolism management, and how to use free meals specifically for that.  Not like a "maybe we can help boost your metabolism with a free meal", but how exactly to structure Leptin increasing sessions of "free" eating.

I recommended Cheat to Lose because it actually outlines exactly what an effective free day looks like.  What's too much.  But also, what isn't enough - and how that adversely effects your metabolism.

Then the rest of the week, it breaks down how to effectively use carbohydrate cycling.

That's another one, where I got an email where someone said they "looked up carbohydrate cycling on the internet and put together there own plan."

Look...  if you want to do carb cycling, buy the freakin plan.  Making it up from what you can piece together on the internet is never a smart plan.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear that up.  People got really crazy about Cheat to Lose in a way that they never have about anything I've ever recommended before.  I was totally shocked.

So I just wanted you all to know where I stood, and why I recommended it.  Look, I recommended it because it's awesome. 

I learned stuff from Cheat to Lose. 

One of the biggest things I learned is that the 10% free meals plan that most trainers are recommending now is good, but it's not the ideal.  Looking at the research on Leptin and metabolism, now we know it can be optimized to produce a more powerful fat loss response than we ever knew was possible.

I learned a lot from reading Cheat to Lose.  That's why I recommended it.
