Cheat Your Way Thin Review Basics:

Overview

The Cheat Your Way Thin diet is actually a carbohydrate cycling diet (this type of diet has increased in popularity recently), then you have a ‘cheat’ day at the end of every week where you can eat whatever you want to make sure your body doesn’t adapt to the diet.

The main part of this product is the 53 page manual which takes you through the whole system, however before you begin reading that you should listen to the Gamechanger audio file which is 17 minutes long and explains a bit of the science behind the system to you. You might also want to listen to the Confessions audio file too (7 minutes long) to see how the author came up with the system.

After that you can dive straight into the main guide and learn about the 3 phases of the diet. First you have a priming phase which lasts for 3 weeks, then a core phase which is only one week long but you keep repeating it, then you have the maintenance phase which is how you maintain your new slimmer figure from then on. The core phase has 5 different versions because we all react differently to carbohydrates, so you can try each one out until you find the one which gets you the best results (which is a nice touch as most diets would just give you one version and force you to use that).

Essentially the diet is made up of just 3 different days where you eat different things, for instance one is very few carbs, then low GI food, and the last one is high GI food, the phases then mix these days up in a way which is supposed to promote weight loss. Oh and you do have the cheat day each week as well which is a 4th type of day!

You also get 3 exercise workouts in the guide which are 20 – 25 minutes long each, although exercise is only discussed briefly. All in all the guide is very good and contains lots of information, but it does seem to be missing some information, like why you need to drink protein shakes. Plus in the journal is asks you about two things which are not discussed in the guide so you couldn’t answer.

In the guide you are also given an easy way to know what size portions you need of things, then it tells you exactly how many portions of carb/protein/fat you should be eating for the meals on each of the 3 different days (it doesn’t apply to the cheat day where you eat what you want). You are then given lists of the different kind of foods you can eat to make up your portions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Also in this Cheat Your Way Thin package you get a file with some sheets you can print out that will remind you what you should be eating on each day and how much of each type. Plus a strategies audio file which talks about how you can still eat healthily when you go out to a restaurant or go travelling, and how to keep yourself motivated.

We purchased the upgraded package which also gives you an email consultation with the author, 28 days worth of meal plans for each type of day in the diet (making 84 days worth of meal plans total) and the recipes for the meals they give you. The recipes are actually better than the kind included in most diet packages, these are actually designed specifically to conform with the requirements of this diet and not just grabbed randomly off the internet like with some diets.

In the upgraded package you also get a short guide with some different exercise plans you might want to follow, and an Excel spreadsheet you can use if you don’t like their portion size system and prefer to count your calories instead.

We took advantage of the personal email consultation and sent in 4 test questions. We had a response back within 24 hours which was really good, but it was very short, there was no greeting or anything and each question seemed to be answered in the shortest manner possible. Some more detail on some of the answers would have been nice, but he did answer the questions satisfactorily.

Cheat Your Way Thin Review – The Good & The Bad:

Pros

  • You have a day each week where you can cheat and eat whatever you want
  • It doesn’t try to force you to follow just one plan, it has 5 different versions to help deal with people’s varying tolerance of carbohydrates
  • It gives you a really easy way to measure your portion sizes so you don’t need to mess around with counting calories

Cons

  • You have to buy protein powder and drink a shake every day
  • Asks you to exercise in the morning, but if you have a job then an evening workout is really the only option unless you go before work which would be a struggle
  • Seems to miss some information like why you need to drink those protein shakes, what a NEAT score is (mentioned in the journal) and what CLT cardio is (also mentioned in the journal)

 

 

Customer Support

The customer service was not very good. They provide an email address to contact and we sent in a test question on a Tuesday, then we had heard nothing by Friday so we sent an email chasing them on that day. On Saturday we received an email with literally just a link in response to our question, no greeting or apology for the delay in responding or even our name, which seems a bit rude. So for slow and unfriendly customer service we will give them just 1 star.

Thankfully Clickbank.com handle all payment queries and refunds so you don’t need to deal with them if you want your money back and can get a prompt response.

 

Cheat Your Way Thin Review – Overall:

This is a diet which is pretty simple to grasp, but the product does seem a little rushed in places and misses some information out. However with the reference cards and (if you buy the upgrade) the meal plans which you get too, then it should be pretty easy to follow. The best part though is having that cheat day once a week which you can look forward to, and that helps you stick rigidly to the rules for the other 6 days of the week.

It is pretty expensive though compared to some other diets we have seen, as you don’t get a huge amount of content for your money (which can be a bonus as you don’t get bogged down with too much information). The diet will take some getting used to as you have to learn how to eat for each particular type of day and learn what you should eat or avoid, plus making sure your morning and afternoon snacks have protein in is tricky.

Also don’t forget you will need to buy a supply of protein powder if you want to follow this system as they are quite adamant you need to use it, so that is another expense you need to consider.
