Joel Marion's Xtreme Fat Loss Diet
In addition to the Cheat Day and Fast Day that we have already discussed, The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet has three additional days that are strategically laid out to maximize your fat loss, keep your metabolism racing and your hormones balanced. All these days combined form the five day cycle that is central to the program.Yesterday was the first of these days and lovingly called shake day.
Now, just let me say that I have always hated protein powder. It’s the smell that gets to me. But, for dramatic results, I figured I would suffer through a day. I also cheated just a bit and subbed out two meals with real food and supplemented another with a tomato salad.
I only subbed out these meals after very carefully doing all the math and calculating exactly what each meal needed to contain given the macro-nutrient and calorie requirements for the day.
After logging all my food on CalorieCounter.com (my absolute favorite food and exercise logging tool) it turns out that my calories were dead on and my macro-nutrient (protien/carb/fat) ratios were pretty good. My protein was a touch high and my fat a touch low. For my first go at it, I figure this isn’t so bad – there are definitely worse ways the ratios could be out of whack.
In order to keep to my ratios and calorie requirements I carefully portioned and measured to get the exact right amounts and only used foods off the included food lists in my substitutions. My food scale and measuring cups and spoons are earning their keep during this process.
This may sound like a total pain, but really it only takes a few extra seconds to measure out your portions. The calculations and meal planning takes a bit of time, but if you can’t dedicate a little time once every five days for these types of results then you don’t really want it. I don’t mean to be harsh or anything but getting real with our committment is fundemental to our success. This is something I struggle with too, but it just comes down to do you want it bad enough or don’t you. Do you feel your worth it or don’t you?
By the way if you answered no to that question, you should read this.
Ok, so back to protein powder. Like I said, I hated protein powder, but I found one that actually tastes pretty good and has the nutritional requirements that are recommended.
Both Joel (Xtreme Fat Loss Diet) and Isabel (The Diet Solution) highly recommend Prograde supplements and I am sure they are really great, but they are pretty spendy. Now, I am sure they are worth the money, but I am not going to be using protein powder long term as my long term plan recommends always trying for real foods over powders and the Prograde only gets reasonably priced when you do the autoship.
With all this said, I knew that the quality and nutritional suggestions they made were really important so I did my research and found a product that was reasonably priced, tastes great and is made with cold-processed whey protein isolate, natural flavors and is sweetened with Stevia. I feel that this is a quality product and would recommend it. And it is the best tasting protein powder I have had and let’s face it, that is really important.

Overall, I feel great so far. I have a ton of energy, my mood is good (well except for the afternoon of fast day, but I think I deserved that – hee hee), my muscles are sore and I even think these pants were a tad looser this morning.

Well, a little planning ahead can save those radishes and keep them fresh for weeks.
This is what you do…
- When you get home from the store or the first time you use them, remove all the radishes from their stems. Discard the tops.
- Wash all the radishes really well. Dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the stem and root off each end. You don’t have to cut much, just a sliver off each end.
- Put them in a ziplock and toss them in the low humidity veggie drawer in your fridge.
This simple 5 minute prep tip will extend the life of your radishes dramatically.
After realizing that The Gabriel Method just wasn’t going to be structure enough for me, I went searching for a slightly more structured eating plan that followed the same principles. Where I landed is with Isabel De Los Rios and The Diet Solution.
I have been adjusting the The Diet Solution way of eating and have felt great. The Diet Solution combines sound nutritional advice with customizations for your metabolic type. I am a protein and have found changing what I eat to cater to this has been really beneficial. I feel energyzed and my afternoon slugs have almost dissapeared entirelly. She has taught me to listen to my body for what foods it likes and doesn’t like and this has made a big difference.
Because I had been concentrating for so long on weight loss with a lot of disappointment, I took a break from weight loss being my goal and concentrated on changing over to The Diet Solution way of eating and learning to enjoy exercise and cherishing my time doing so. I have also been concentrating on learning those things about myself that keep me from truly committing and pushing past them.
But now I am really ready to make significant change and I needed a kick start, something to shake up my metabolism and get the system running again, so when she recommended Joel Marion’s Extreme Fat Loss Diet as a way to do just that, I jumped at the chance and am now on day two of my 25 day extreme fat loss program.
It’s the fast day and I just really started getting hungry and it’s about noon, only another 10 hours to go, Ughh. I went to the gym this morning and will do my strength training this afternoon and then I have swim class tonight. Although it is a lot, it is seamlessly working with my schedule so that is great.
Anyway, Isabel sent an email out this morning saying that she has put together a video to support people in keeping to her well defined healthy eating habits while still be able to complete the 25 day Extreme Fat Loss Diet. I am so excited about this. She is going to talk about how to manage the different eating styles and how to enjoy the cheat day while still keeping away from harmful chemicals, bad fats and other things that are just generally unhealthy.
Because of this, I wanted to share The Diet Solution with you a little early so that anyone interested could take full advantage of the extra personalization and coaching that Isabel is offering to people who follow The Diet Solution. I believe that these two programs combined are a powerful match and will produce amazing results for me and you as well.
Here are both the Products for you to take a look at.
Joel is still offering $30 off during the pre-sale, but this will end in the next day or so.
This is an audio/video presentation so make sure you have your speakers on :)
In order to access the special support video, I had to email my Extreme Fat Loss Diet receipt to The Diet Solution and they will send out a link to the video when it is available later this week. If you have any problems with the process, just let me know and maybe I can help facilitate.
Update: Once you have purchased both products, email your receipt for Extreme Fat Loss to info@thedietsolutionprogram.com with “Joel’s Bonus” in the subject line. This will sign you up to receive Isabel’s coaching for the Extreme Fat Loss Diet.
