If you type the keyword phrase “diet for weight loss” in the Google search box it will return over 1,000,000 results. Since probably about half of all Americans are on a diet at any given time, it makes sense that there would be so many results for weight loss diets.

There are so many diets out there – low fat, low carb, low calorie, raw food, protein, cleanse, Weight Watchers, Over-eaters Anonymous, Atkins, Jenny Craig, Slim Fast… the list goes on and on and on. And each diet plan is adamant that their program is the only one that will work and give you lasting, lifestyle-changing, results.

You can buy book after book, program after program. If you visit your local bookstore, odds are that you will find a new batch of “diet” books on the shelves each month, if not more often.

Dr. Frank B. Smoot has a different point of view. He maintains that the ultimate weight loss book is the Bible.

Dr. Smoot’s program doesn’t focus specifically on what to eat, how much to eat, or when to eat. He proposes that you have to change your mindset, and get rid of, once and for all, your “limiting” beliefs. These are holding you back from making your body a perfect “temple”, as God intended it to be.

Having been a student of limiting beliefs and how they affect our lives, I can understand why this would be a very important element in weight loss, as well as in developing a positive self-image.

Limiting beliefs are “programs” that run through our minds in a loop. These can be from words we were told as a child by parents, teachers, the government, and other figures we perceived as “authority.” After hearing these things enough times, we incorporate them into our subconscious and they become truths for us. An example would be, if your Mother told you, “All of the people in our family are chubby.” If you heard this enough, you would believe that you were “destined” to be chubby and no amount of dieting would succeed if you could not let go of this limiting core belief.

You can find out all the information for Dr. Smoot’s program at Weight Loss Gods Ways.

He teaches you that by renewing your mind you will gain the power to change your life, and your body, for once and for all.

In addition to his program, he offers a free mini-ebook called “Christian Weight Loss Fundamentals” to explain to you the tremendous power of God’s solution for weight loss.

His 7-week program includes a 208 page ebook with 87 custom exercises (not physical)that you read and follow each day, as well as over 200 scriptures. The best method is to do one day at a time… don’t skip ahead! Work the exercises and then move on.

Weight loss tips and programs come a dime a dozen but this one is more unique than most.

When it comes to weight loss tips would we all be better off if the master cleanse “secrets” remained secret?

From time to time, we all get hit with a nasty spell of fatigue. Maybe it’s raining too much. Maybe we’ve been eating poorly and not exercising. Maybe our consumption of processed foods has finally caught up with us, leaving us fatigued, bloated, and generally uncomfortable.

All of these things are possibilities. We’ve all been there; and we all know how it feels. But, interestingly, most of the time, we do nothing about it. We simply accept the fact that we feel out of sorts; and move on with our lives.

Unfortunately, those feelings can be a symptom of something else. They can signal that we’ve treated our bodies too poorly for too long; and finally, everything we have done has caught up with us.

Now, if you think this might be the case for you, then you may have already tried a “cleanse” style diet. You may have done something like switching to raw foods or lemonade; or some other variety of cleanse.

But what you found out pretty quickly is that the cleanse diet isn’t easy. In fact, it is virtually impossible to stay on a cleanse diet for any period of time without feeling drained and worn out, no matter how good your results appear to be.

If you listen to the author of “Master Cleanse Secrets,” Raylen Sterling, there are ways around these problems. In fact, not only can you do a cleanse diet, but you can continue on it for a prolonged period of time, over the course of which you might clean out as much as 20 pounds of waste that is lurking around in your body.

Of course, Sterling doesn’t claim to have a monopoly on the right way to do a cleanse diet. However, she does suggest that her own experiences have lead her to create a cleanse diet formula that will work well for anyone.

So what’s her secret? Well, there are several. Some of them involve the diet itself. She tells you which version of the diet works best; and why you should use that version, rather than others.

Additionally, she offers mental secrets. She tells you that most people who fail on cleanse diets do so because it simply becomes too difficult to continue. But she teaches readers many strategies that they can use to overcome cravings; and overcome the desire to stop.

Sterling also offers more practical advice. She tells readers how to create a type of cleanse diet that will not only help you to lose weight, but will also be sustainable for longer periods. Instead of leaving you famished and sick, it will give you powerful bursts of energy that will help you to get beyond not being able to eat all of the foods you desire most.

So, with all of this said, should you take the plunge and purchase the Master Cleanse Secrets? Based on what reviewers say about the product, it is useful, but ultimately says very little that you couldn’t find for free on forums. Additionally, the salespage is sloppily done and contains several spelling errors and seemingly unverifiable statements. If this is any indication of the quality of her product and research, this might not be entirely a trustworthy method.

From here, the choice is yours. If you want to try a cleanse diet, you have many options. If you want to get all of the information you need in order to get through that diet successfully in one place, then you may want to consider purchasing a copy of The Master Cleanse Secrets.

One of the major reasons why many people fail on conventional diets and fad diets is that the prescribed regimens are too strict. For instance, they might require you to eliminate carbs altogether from your diet for long periods of time (including things as insignificant as an apple). Initially, these restrictions bring rapid weight loss but ultimately they prove unsustainable.

They’re unsustainable because they don’t accept the reality that human beings are implementing the diets. In fact, if the diet’s instructions were simply being fed into a robot that then acted out the instructions carefully, there would be no problem at all. But that’s not the case.

If you’re like most people who struggle to lose weight, you struggle to do so because you simply cannot give up your favorite foods. You cannot adopt an austere diet that forces you to starve yourself and to give up an important pleasure in your life: the taste of great food.

Fortunately for you, there’s a diet that claims to allow you to do just that: to consume the foods that you love on a regular basis as part of your diet. And not only does it allow you to do it, it’s an actual requirement of the diet.

So what is this diet, you ask? It’s called “Cheat Your Way to Thin” and, not surprisingly, it is called that because it allows you to consume delicious food that would be considered “cheating” in the context of most other diets, but it will still permit you to lose weight-and lots of it-at the same time.

To make things better, this diet isn’t your typical, fly-by-night program with no known creator. Joel Marion, the founder of the “Cheat Your Way to Thin” method, is a Certified Sports Nutritionist with the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Additionally, his work has been featured in Oxygen, in Lifescript, in Women’s Day, in Men’s Fitness, in Muscle mag, on NBC, and on Fox News to name just a few places.

Marion is both well-known and well-trusted. And, as he claims, his product not only resulted from the knowledge that he accumulated over many years he spent in the fitness industry, but also from the serious mistakes he made throughout his career.

With all of this said, what can you expect from Marion’s product? There are two parts. The first part contains audio that explains how the diet was created, as well as the science that backs up how it works. And the second part is a 53-page ebook that contains an exhaustive run-down of the program.

Marion’s approach consists of two parts: diet and exercise. For the dietary portion, he has readers to rotate between high GI days, low GI days, and low carb days. And for the exercise portion, he has readers perform 3 different exercise sessions per week.

Overall, the ebook contains an excellent and highly-specific overview of how you can improve your diet and adopt an effective workout regimen. And best of all, it comes from a real person with real credentials.

As far as reviewers are concerned, the Cheat Your Way to Thin product appears to deliver on its promises. However, some argue that it focuses too much on requiring you to buy expensive auxiliary products, such as protein shakes. But on the upside, it allows you to have “cheating days,” which will make your diet much easier to maintain in the long run. It also offers simplicity by focusing on portion control, rather than on calorie counting, which is often infeasible.
