Weight Loss Plan For Overeaters - How to Use a Cheat Day to Lose Weight

If you are a chronic overeater yet you want to lose weight there is an option open to you.  Cheat Your Way Thin is an ideal weight loss plan for overeaters because it combines diet days with a "Cheat Day" where you can eat whatever you want.  This article shows you how strategic overeating can actually speed your weight loss.

Let's face it, food is abundant and eating is enjoyable, yet you have always been told that in order to lose weight you must restrict your calories and deprive yourself of your favorite high calorie foods. This simple fact makes following a diet difficult.

Not only are diets difficult to follow but new research and understanding of how your hormones regulate hunger and fat loss show that prolonged dieting actually causes you to hold on to fat.

Let me explain...

You have a hormone in your body called leptin.  This hormone's job is to monitor your food intake.  When you go on a diet and reduce the amount of food you are eating leptin reads this as a state of semi-starvation and sends a warning to your brain.  Your brain in turn slams the brakes on your metabolism in an attempt to prevent you from losing any of your stored energy...what you call FAT.

That's right, when you diet to lose weight your body actually does everything it can to SAVE fat!

And as if that were not enough, your hunger is stimulated so you are more motivated to eat.  Prolonged dieting does not cause fat loss it prevents it.

This is where the plan for overeaters comes into play.  What you want to do is find a way to lose weight while keeping your metabolism high and keeping your hunger from increasing.

The solution is to cheat. By dieting for 6 days and then taking day 7 off to eat or overeat anything you want, pizza, burgers, ice cream, cookies, you name it, you actually boost your metabolism up to near normal levels and since your metabolism is what fuels fat burning you get an entire week of increased weight loss potential.

You might be concerned that this method will cause you to regain all of the weight you lose during the 6 days of dieting but while you will notice a water weight gain the next few days, the boost to your fat burning from your fully stoked metabolism more than makes up for this and you will notice a higher net weight loss week to week.

This is not just some fad or made-up plan, this is a highly researched method for fast weight loss that is backed by thousands of real life before and after photos.  One of today's leading researchers of using a Cheat Day to lose weight is Joel Marion the creator of Cheat Your Way Thin.
