The Cheaters Diet review. Is it really possible to lose weight by only dieting during the week? That's what I asked myself when I came across this book. I had heard people talk about it, but I had never attempted it. My curiosity got the best of me, and I decided I was going to try it. I didn't have much to lose, so I figured if the Cheaters Diet didn't work, there was no big loss. It was also just a book and not an expensive weight loss program. The idea behind the concept is that by only eating low calorie meals during the week, you keep your metabolism in top gear for the weekends when it will work harder to burn those extra calories. I have to admit that I wasn't convinced I could eat what I wanted on the weekends and lose weight. I had heard of diets that allowed you one day a week off, but two didn't seem to be possible. Nonetheless I gave the Cheaters Diet the benefit of the doubt and followed the weekly meal and exercise programs religiously. There was no need to "cheat" during the week because I had the whole weekend to eat those forbidden foods. The problem I came across was that because the weekends off was a mandatory part of the diet, I splurged more than I used to do on weekends with pizza, high calorie dinners out, sweet desserts and much more. I have to admit that I didn't gain any weight, but I also didn't lose any either. Eating healthier during the week did nothing but prevent the weight gain I would have experienced had I been eating normally during the week and splurging on weekends. Taken in that respect it is a good program because careful eating during the week allows you to over do it on the weekends with a detrimental effect. On the other hand, you cannot eat all you want on the weekends and lose weight by simply thinking your metabolism is going to work harder to burn those extra calories. It won't happen unless you are doing something to help it along. This diet may work if your weekends consist of a great many aerobic activities, but the average person spends weekends relaxing or running errands and cleaning house. Of course, house cleaning is an aerobic activity, but you're not spending the entire weekend doing it in most cases. It may also work for you if your weekends consist of many sports and other strenuous activities. That isn't the case with me as my weekends consist more of errands and family time than strenuous activities beyond housework. It is wonderful, however, as a tool to prevent gaining weight with weekend eating binges. Of course, this is just how it happened for me- you may experience something different. The Cheaters Diet book was not a complete waste of money, but it didn't do what it claimed to do, at least for me. Your case may be different, especially if you have more weight to lose than I do but keep those factors in mind. Trust that you found this Cheaters Diet article useful.
