Cheaters Who Lost!
Stop the Excuses
It's easy to say that you're too busy, too tired, or your job is too demanding to eat a healthy diet. Well, it's time to stop making excuses! Malinda B. not only has one heck of a work schedule, she also endures a grueling commute, but she's managed to Cheat to Lose! Here's Malinda's story:

"As a firefighter and a paramedic, I have a very hectic schedule — I work 24-hour shifts and live three hours from my job," Malinda explains. "Still, I found it easy to plan my meals on this diet. By following a few planning tips, I was able to easily consume all my meals and I always had food ready to go. Once you get the general pattern of eating down, everything else is a breeze, and the diet becomes second nature. In addition to helping me lose close to 25 pounds, the Cheat to Lose Diet has helped me gain confidence and the realization that I am the one in control of my weight and health." ~ Way to go, Malinda!

Tip of the Day
Plan Ahead

If you've got a jam-packed schedule (and who doesn't these days?), eating five-times a day can be challenging. The key? Be prepared. Make an extra portion of dinner at night so you'll have lunch for the next day. Buy precut vegetables, pre-made salads, and ready-to-eat veggies — like baby carrots and grape tomatoes — to save on prep time. Whip up a blender full of smoothies to keep in the fridge for a day or two. The more effort you put into planning your meals, the more likely you'll stick to your program. www.cheattolose.com
