overeating to increase fat burning?

Have you ever heard someone claim that you can "eat all the pizza, burgers, and ice cream you want and still lose weight"?

Well, there is SOME truth to that... as long as it's not a daily ritual.

If you've been a reader of mine for some time, you probably know that I'm a big proponent of "cheat meals" to actually increase your fat loss efforts and keep your metabolic rate higher. This is basically strategic planned overeating at certain times while keeping overall weekly calorie intake where it needs to be for fat loss.

One problem many people face when trying to lose fat is that their results seem to stall after they've tried to restrict calories for too long. Restricting calories for too long causes your body to fight back and reduce your metabolic rate. This is a simple survival tactic as your body thinks a possible famine is on the way so it needs to hold on to your body fat and start conserving calories.

To overcome this effect and keep your fat loss efforts on track, you need to fool your body into thinking that food is abundant again, so it can elevate your metabolic rate once again.

This all has to do with manipulating levels of the hormone leptin in your body by strategically overeating at certain times and by shifting carbohydrate intake throughout the week.

About 8 months ago, I met a famous fitness author named Joel Marion for a dinner meeting... Joel has spent years researching this one specific topic of planned overeating for controlling leptin levels in the body. (Joel was also the 2001 Body-for-Life Grand champion).

Joel has actually taken this concept of using cheat meals to lose body fat faster than with traditional "dieting" and put it into an entire system based on his carbohydrate shifting method... you can see Joel's system here:

I want to clear up some confusion as to my recommendations for planned overeating or "cheat meals". Although some people will tell you that "anything goes" for cheat meals, I still firmly believe that trans fats and high fructose corn syrup should be avoided as much as possible... and that includes in cheat meals too.

As for Joel's Program, since it is just being released today, he's having a "less than half price" sale going for the initial 3 days, so make sure to grab it now to get this week's discount.

Joel and I even decided to team up and do a 90-minute teleconference call for everyone that purchases the system this week, so that we can personally respond to questions and help you get the best results possible. The call will be planned in about 3 weeks from now and will be on a teleconference line that will be able to hold a couple hundred people.

Even if the phone lines fill up, we'll have it available to listen to the call online, and type in your questions to us via web conferencing.

This is a major bonus that Joel and I decided to offer... if you think about books you've bought at a bookstore, what are the chances you'd actually be able to get on a teleconference phone call with the actual author and get your questions answered? Zero!

That's why we thought this would be a great way to really add value and help you to get better results by making ourselves available for Q&A on the teleconference.

To qualify for the teleconference with Joel and I, you have to order Joel's system through this specific website below:

Since Joel's release of this system is today, you might see a lot of buzz around the internet with everyone talking about this... but to get on the teleconference with Joel and I, you have to make sure to only order through this website above to qualify for the bonus Q&A coaching call.

Joel will send out final details about the call in about 2-3 weeks. That will give you time to go through the entire program and get started on it so you can see how it's working and see what questions you have for us.

Good luck!

talk to you soon,
