Don’t worry though! Marion, who is billed as America’s “anti-diet” expert, deciphers all the science into plain, enjoyable English. You won’t have to pull out a dictionary or go back to college for four years to get what Marion suggests and why he suggests it in “Cheat Your Way Thin”.

“Cheat Your Way Thin” is the culmination of years of research by Marion. In fact, he went through more than 300 medical research papers to create the Cheat Your Way Thin system. To be sure, he even practices what he preaches.

Over the course of a 73-month period, Marion scoured through hundreds of studies and tested his findings with hundreds of actual clients. He also used his system to transform his own body from pudgy to pumped in a mere 16 weeks, proving that cheating works. He even shows current photos of himself on his personal web site to prove his maintenance plan works, as well.

So, why should you trust Marian & the “Cheat Your Way Thin” plan when he’s a self-described cheater?

Aside from being featured on NBC, CBS and ABC and in Men’s Fitness, Woman’s Day and a host of other magazines, Marion is also a certified sports nutritionist, a personal trainer and a “science geek” by his own admission.

When you pick up “Cheat Your Way Thin,” you won’t get a fad diet and you won’t find a miracle plan that will show you how to lose gobs of weight in a day or less. What you will get is a serious, multifaceted plan that focuses on the science of nutrition and the importance of exercise with a practical bend toward cheating.

How can you cheat and still lose weight?

Marion’s ” Cheat Your Way Thin” plan spells it all out. The foods he recommends and the daily schedule he touts rely heavily on the glycemic index and glycemic load. Essentially, he focuses on regulating blood sugar and insulin response to turn the body into a fat-burning powerhouse.

If you’re worried about complexity or hassle involved with a diet plan, don’t fret. “Cheat Your Way” is fairly simple to follow. In 53 pages, Marion teaches people how to regulate portion size without having to pull out scales, how to turn diet into a metabolism booster and even sets a basic eating plan schedule for the programs three phases. He also addresses exercise and maintenance so people can keep off what they’ve lost.

Worried about starving on a diet? Well you should be with most plans, but not Marion’s. Two of his main principles ensure that starvation is not an issue. They are:

• Portion size – Rather than count calories or go crazy trying to weigh in food portions, Joel Marion makes it easy for anyone to figure out how much they should eat using the hand/fist/thumb method for doling out protein, carbohydrates and fat. A good size serving of protein is equivalent to the size of person’s palm; carbohydrates equal about the size of their fist and fats should be limited to a thumb unless they are more complex like nuts or cheese in which case two thumbs will do.
• Meal frequency – Marion is not a fan of eating one or two meals a day. Instead, he touts feeding and fueling the body on a regular basis. Between snacks and meals, he calls for six “feedings” per day.

Marion puts his plan all together in a weekly schedule that includes having high glycemic index/load days and low glycemic index/load days. He offers up meal ideas for those days and helps readers embark on a path to dietary success. The plan is broken up into three periods: the priming phase, the core phase and the maintenance phase. To be certain “Cheating” is easy, he gives plenty of examples of acceptable foods.

So, what about that cheating?

Marion stands firm on the idea that people and their bodies need a day to “cheat.” This means in his weekly plans he encourages readers to dedicate an entire day each week to eating what they want and when they want. Feeding cravings and going a little bit overboard is okay, he says, because it primes the body for higher fat burning capacity on the day that follows.

There’s got to be a catch, right?

Not really, while Marion does offer some rules for the Cheat Days, they are mainly commonsense. He suggests:

• Eating what you want without feeling guilty
• Not gorging the body, instead eat until full
• Waking up at a normal time rather than shorting the body on sleep
• Not skipping meals during the Cheat Day; “Made a day – not a meal,” he warns.
• Avoiding planning – just eat what the heart desires on Cheat Day
• Avoiding going overboard with alcohol consumption on the Cheat Day

If you’re looking for a system that will actually work and doesn’t require cards, calorie counting, weighing foods or starving, “Cheat Your Way Thin” is the program for you. In this easy-to-follow book, Joel Marion puts forth a commonsense, nutritionally sound plan that actually works and isn’t impossible to follow. Plus, cheating is allowed. You can’t go wrong with that!
