What Are Diet Cheats? Why Worry About Them?
Diet cheats are usually foods that must be restricted on various stages of the Matol Diet. Whether cheating is intentional or accidental it will keep you from losing weight quickly. They will undermine your eating program.
Since the diet is designed to work with the physiology of your body, you must follow it exactly.
If a doctor prescribes a green pill - you would not ask to switch to a pink one cause you liked pink better. So it is with the Matol Diet. To get the best out of this program - lose weight quickly, safely, and healthily, you must follow it.
I think of a diet cheats as similar to scratching a sore. Keep scratching it and it will never heal. If you keep cheating on the diet, your body will continue to crave food. This will make it difficult to stick to this or any other healthy eating program.
Your goal is quick, healthy weight loss. Let's learn what you can do to reach that goal as quickly as possible.
By following the diet exactly, you enable to body to go into ketosis. This state will give you energy and provide a natural appetite suppressant. Ketosis is safe - you are not going to maintain it over a long period of time. Just until you reach your goal weight.
Get some ketosis sticks from the pharmacy and test your urine frequently to see if you are in ketosis. The darker the purple the better for quick, healthy weight loss.
If your sticks do not consistently register some form of ketosis, go over everything you ate and see if you can determine the problem. Track down those diet cheats that can creep in while your back is turned. Call or email me and we will work on this.
Here is a list of some of the most common ways you might cheat without really trying. Remember, some foods you will want to exclude from your diet forever. Others you will introduce back into your healthy eating during Stages 3 and 4.

Timely Tips for Getting Started
Here are some helpful tidbits from your best weight loss advice coach. Hope these will be useful. Let me know when you have more questions or need more information about diet cheats.
ABOUT CARBS: Before you buy anything, look at the label. If it has carbs and is not on the list of recommended foods, don’t buy it. Carbs add up fast. You will remain on day 1-3 so long as you are adding carbs. These diet cheats will cause you to crave food and prevents weight loss.
ABOUT FATS: Diet cheats can creep in here. Fats will slow your weight loss down or cause you to gain depending upon the amount you eat. And they do count even if no one is looking!
Get rid of any foods not on the approved list. Remove temptation to keep from going back into the “grazing” mode that goes along with lose/gain cycle.
FOLLOW THE DIET EXACTLY AND YOU WILL SUCCEED!!!
