Does your diet have to be All or Nothing?
I definitely have many more supplements I want to cover in the next couple of newsletters but I just had to take a break from that series to cover a very important topic and question that I have received from many readers lately…
“Isabel, I don’t think I can implement every single principle in the Diet Solution Program all at once. Will I still lose weight? Will the program still work for me?”
First and foremost, I do have some good news…some great news actually.
Can you really survive at a restaurant?
If you are anything like me and 90% of most people, we all have one thing in common: we are always on the go! I know myself, my busy lifestyle and my traveling schedule sometimes requires me to surrender to a whole lot of restaurant eating and finding healthy options outside my own refrigerator.
But sometimes this is easier said than done. Lewis, I know you can relate.
here’s how to Stop Feeling Hungry.
There is absolutely nothing worse than being hungry (well, being tired, sick, and stressed are all pretty up there), but hunger just takes the cake – no pun intended 
Just a short time ago I had my business partner Jeff over for dinner. We had a delicious healthy meal, all cooked by yours truly (with a little help from my husband).

“Isabel. It seems that there are no definite studies that prove, hands down, that artificial sweeteners can be hazardous to our health. Do you still recommend we stay away from them?”
Here’s how to combat Diet Disasters
People often think that in order to reach their Fat Loss goals they have to be perfect all the time. Not true.
Do you think I never “fall off the wagon”?
…Like the brownies at the last party I went to holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight.
4 Foods for More Fat Loss
What foods should I eat for maximum fat loss? This is a common question that I get from clients and friends. There is so much new information out there everyday “X food is now good for you but Y food is now bad.” How can you possibly sort through all the junk science and sensational reporting to truly find out which foods will help you lose weight and which foods won’t?
Let me help. Here’s a look at foods that you should eat to maximize fat loss. These foods are listed in no particular order because they are all important.
A Double Dose of Metabolism Protection: Strategic Carbohydrate Cycling
In last weeks update I talked to you about the most important hormone you probably never heard of – leptin. If you missed that update, do NOT pass go, do NOT collect $200 until you have read that article. It really is that important and I guarantee you’ll walk away from that article having learned a lot. Click-here if you missed it.
Without a doubt the most important thing you can do while attempting to drop body fat is to maintain high levels of leptin day in and day out.
With Cheat Your Way Thin, we accomplish this via two different means:
The MOST important hormone you never heard of!
LEPTI-WHA??
It’s name is Leptin (derived from the Greek word leptos, meaning “thin”), and it’s without a doubt the most important hormone you probably never heard of.
You see, leptin was only first discovered just over 10 years ago, and as far as weight loss is concerned, that’s extremely recent.
Leptin’s function? To communicate your nutritional status to your body and brain.
Leptin levels are mediated by two things. One is your level of body fat. All else being equal, people with higher levels of body fat will have higher leptin levels than those with lower levels of body fat and vice versa.
Carbohydrates and Fat Loss: What’s the Deal?
Carbohydrates play an important role in any fat loss diet. You need them to help you recover from your workouts but you need to limit them so that they don’t inhibit your fat loss. So what is the right balance of carbohydrates in your diet? When you eat carbs and what kind of carbs you eat depends on your body type and the time of day. Let’s look at this idea a little more closely.
Hungry ?
Got a question for you:
Should you “stay hungry”?
Let me explain what I mean.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a movie a while time ago called “Stay Hungry.” Only a handful of people saw it.
I was one of them.
I loved the idea of “staying hungry” — of never sitting on your rear end too long… of never being totally comfortable… and of always progressing.
Speed Eating and Fat Loss: Diet Advice Your Mom Was Right About All Along
A new study just published in a recent issue of the journal Obesity has revealed that thin people eat very differently than heavy people at all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants.
Researcher Brian Wansink and his team from the Cornell University Food and Brand Laboratory observed diners at 11 different Chinese buffet restaurants across the United States.
Their goal was to find out whether the eating behaviors of people at all-you-can-eat buffets varied based on their body mass.
Trained observers recorded the height, weight, gender, age, and behavior of 213 patrons. The various seating, serving and eating behaviors were then compared across BMI levels.
The 2 Pounds Per Week Rule and How to Burn Fat Faster
Why do you always hear that 2 pounds per week is the maximum amount of fat you should safely lose? If you train really hard while watching calories closely shouldn’t you be able to lose more fat without losing muscle or damaging your health? What if you want to lose fat faster? How do you explain the fast weight losses on The Biggest Loser? These are all good questions that I’ve been asked many times. With the diet marketplace being flooded every day with rapid weight loss claims, these questions desperately need and deserve some honest answers. Want to know where that 2 pounds per week rule comes from and what it really takes to burn more than 2 pounds of fat per week? Read on.

What The New Low Carb Study REALLY Says
A news media feeding frenzy erupted earlier this week when a new diet study broke in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on Thursday, July 17th. Almost all the reporters got it wrong, wrong WRONG! So did most of the gloating low carb forumites and bloggers. Come to think of, almost everyone interpreted this study wrong. Some valuable insights came out of this study, but almost everyone missed them because they were too busy believing what the news said or defending their own cherished belief systems…
The new study, titled, “Weight Loss With a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Fat Diet” was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in issue 359, number 3.
What you should Expect in Fat Loss -Part 1 The Drain Effect
Fat loss is the removal of stored body fat from your body. In order to achieve fat loss you need to be in a deficit of energy. Meaning that what it takes to run your body for a day, you need to consume less than. If your body needs 2000 kcal of energy to run and you consume 1500 calories, you are in the negative by 500 calories.
Now let’s take away the numbers and think about what that really means.
Your body, in order to function properly, needs a certain amount of energy. One could compare this to say a flashlight. Oh here comes another analogy!!!
