Let Your Body Do the Work
Just as the Cheat to Lose Diet uses the hormone leptin to fool your body into thinking you're eating more than you really are, there is an equally effective exercise trick that will fool your body into thinking it is exercising more than it is. This trick is mixed-intensity training (MIT), a technique in which two minutes of moderate cardio exercise are followed by two minutes of strenuous exercise. The secret is that MIT increases postexercise oxygen consumption, the time when your body absorbs more oxygen and increases your metabolism as a result of physical activity. Running on a treadmill at a steady pace will burn a certain amount of calories, but once the exercise is completed, your metabolism returns to its baseline level quickly. With MIT and the resulting heightened postexercise oxygen consumption, your metabolism stays high hours after you're done working out — so the body continues to burn calories as if you were still exercising, even while you're resting on the couch!

Kiss the Fat Good-bye
Not only does MIT allow you to burn more calories after exercise is done, a recent study showed that much of the energy consumed by excess postexercise oxygen consumption comes from subcutaneous fat — the stuff dieters are looking to get rid of. The same study also showed that people using an MIT technique lost more fat than those participating in a traditional steady-rate exercise program, even though they didn't exercise as long. Here is one study that will have you praising the miracles of science! www.cheattolose.com
