The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet is a new nutrition and workout fat loss program created by Joel Marion, a well known nutrition and fitness expert and author. He has also been recognized by Men’s Fitness magazine as one of America’s Top 50 Personal Trainers.
This time, Joel focuses on helping men and women achieve the most rapid fat loss possible in 25 days. This is the duration of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet.
To see how people did on this plan I recommend reading some testimonials: Click here to read some Xtreme Fat Loss Diet Testimonials
This rapid fat loss is arrived at with a unique eating and workout routine that incorporates several special fitness and diet approaches.
Does the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet work or is it a scam? Let’s see how it works…
The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet program revolves around a 5 day cycle which is repeated 5 times in the duration of the diet to make up for the complete 25 days.
Here are the days which are included in each cycle:
Cheat Day : Density Training Day
The Cheat Day of each cycle is a day in which you can eat even fattening foods like pizza and ice cream.
You do this to boost your leptin levels and encourage faster fat burning. Leptin is a hormone that’s largely responsible for your metabolism and fat burning. A higher level of leptin often means a faster metabolic rate.
The problem with conventional diets is that when you cut your calories, your leptin levels diminish making it harder and harder for you to burn more weight. This happens gradually so 1-2 days of calorie restriction won’t hurt you but as you continue to limit your calories, your leptin levels will plummet.
A Cheat Day every once in a while helps to reset your leptin levels and maintain a high metabolism. It also has excellent psychological benefits as being able to eat “non diet” foods like pizza every 5 days helps you stick to any diet plan for as long as you need.

The Density Style workouts on this day help to protect your lean muscle tissue while you’re shedding fat so you can have that toned look.
Shake Day: Strength Training Day
On the Shake Day of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet, Joel Marion advocated getting all your calories from special nutritional shakes. This helps you to have a low calorie day (but not near as low as the fast day) because you know exactly where to get all your energy from.
You do strength training to help maintain lean muscle mass and let your body recover optimally from the more intensive workouts of cheat and fast days.
Fast Day: Lactic Acid Training Day
On the fast day, your leptin levels are soaring. This is the perfect time to create a massive calorie deficit and shed a lot of fat.
Because your leptin levels are high from your “cheating day”, your metabolism doesn’t slow down. Remember, Leptin takes a few days to really decrease.
You achieve this massive calorie reduction through a strategic one day fast. I say strategic because this is not a complete fast. You will be consuming calories, just a low amount of them.
In addition, you will also do lactic acid workouts that burn a ton more calories. The food you had on the cheating day gives you the energy to do these workouts so you can increase your calorie deficit and burn even more fat.
Moderate Carb : Dynamic Training Day
The Moderate Carb day of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet you eat a diet in which 40% of your calories come from carbs, 30% from fats, and 30% from protein.
This is a higher calorie day than days 2-3 but not as high as the Cheat Day. This eating pattern helps you to enjoy more food after the previous two days of lower calories and also gives you the energy you need to perform your Dynamic Training, a high metabolic workout that accelerates fat loss.

Protein-Only Depletion : Lactic Acid Training Day
The purpose of this day is to deplete the body of energy, “making room” for the Cheat Day which is coming on the next day (being the first day of the next 5 day cycle). Lactic acid training is done due to its intense fat burning effects.

The result of these different days and workout plans is a rapid and massive fat loss.
Although the program itself is for 25 days in total (5 cycles), you can do it over every 8-12 weeks. In between, you need to do a more moderate workout plan which is something Joel Marion discusses in the program.

After losing 5kg of fat in 25 days I am ready to shift to Cheat Your Way Thin. However the CYWT only recommends a few MIIT workouts a week and to “keep active”.
After all the daily resistance and/or cardio or HIIT on Xtreme, it seems like a pretty wimpy followup.
What is the best way to combine all the workouts I learned in Xtreme with CYWT?
It is true that Cheat Your Way Thin is a less strenuous plan than XFLD. I believe you do have leeway in making the workouts on CYWT harder according to your fitness level.
Yeah, that is what I figured.
Leeway is good, but I think it gets confusing for customers moving from one program to the other as to what is optimal.
MIIT 20 min or HIIT 8-10 min?
How much resistance, how much cardio?
I don’t mind working out 5 days a week, but I find without guidelines I am inconstant. That is why I liked the XFLD, as the plan, though intense, was quite defined.
The following is the guarantee that is given by Xtreme if you do not lose the most that you have ever lost on any other diet. You may be careful about what you determine to be “No Hassles, or hoops” because in order to get a refund you have to prove to them that you completed the full program. Think about that. You have to submit your daily logs and they get to determine if you completed the program or not. Just a heads up if you are thinking that the refund will be prompt and easy like the guarantee states. This has NOT been my experience.
“We stand behind our product as the fastest fat loss program ever created, and if doesn’t yield those results for you when followed, you get your money back. No hassles, no hoops to jump through, just a prompt, courteous refund.”
Hi Kathy,
What you’re saying isn’t true. You can get a refund from Clickbank with no hassles.
I haven’t emailed, but he should have a forum or even an Q&A on facebook for a few minutes each day. On Protein depletion, if I read things correctly, @ 258-72(bf%)=185(LBM)x 2 grams = 370grams / 5 meals = 74 grams of protein for 5 meals. That seems alot.
I am 8 days into the program and its been great so far. I am just wandering as I really cannot get the proteinshakes down, so on shake day, is it okay that I just eat meat/carbs and fat in meals from normal groceries? I have calculated that I get the same amount of all the nutritions just in solid food instead of shakes. in my point of view it should be ok. What do you say?
Hi Liv,
I’m glad you’re doing well with XFLD. I think you should contact Joel Marion through the support email you got with the program and ask. He should be able to give the best answer.
Am i allowed to do some intense cardio jogging instead of the interval training and after i finish the 25 days can i go ahead and do another 25 days or should i wait a week or two
Hi Jade,
You can combine intense jogging as part of the interval training but I would send an email to the support of the diet after you sign up.
You can do the 25 days over but you do need to wait a few weeks in between.
Hi, i wonder if this can work for me, I don’t have so much fat to lose, maybe 4kg. I just wonder if this programme can help me firm my body and if I can get some lean muscles???
And another question; I’m worried about the ‘shake day’ cause’ I only eat 2 times/day. I’m not hungry in the morning and sometimes I don’t have time to eat lunch. So i’m worried about that this ‘chock-day’ would not come as a ‘chock’ for my body…
-Regards
Hi, I believe that most of the people who use this diet plan do have more to lose but I don’t think you should have any problem with it.
Hi Everyone, this is John from WorldofDiets.com.
I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Joel Marion himself and told him about the support issues some people are having. He assured me he would take care of this and get his support staff to improve their act.
Should you want a refund. Contacting Clickbank is the easiest and quickest way to go.
For a group that seems so eager to help you get in shape, they are really bad at responding to their emails. I have sent them messages to every email address that I have on file. I either get the message returned as undeliverable or no response at all!!
Considering that many foods have some combination of protein, carbs, and fats, it seems like it would be quite challenging to hit one’s numbers on the Moderate Carb day without an excessive amount of time spent looking up nutrient breakdown (on food labels, in nutrient data books, etc.) to plan meals. Any advice?
Also, what if I have a day where I’m literally out at work all day and have a social event immediately afterward with no time for workouts? And if this happens on a Shake day, how do I even keep to the diet without having to bring supplies and a blender on location (quite awkward!)?
I want my money back for this product but cannot find a way to contact them..any help???
Hi Jason,
Joel Marion customer service will not honor refunds. Contact ClickBank who processes the payments. They are respectable and will promptly refund your money.
SB,
Thanks for the nfo. DO you have their website or number?
SB — thank you so much for this information about getting a refund thru ClickBank. I have been emailing with Marion customer service since June 6th. Don’t believe what they say about simply contacting them for a refund because they offer a 100% moneyback guarantee — not true! There is a hassle and you jump thru hoops but get NO WHERE!!!! I’m truly hoping that ClickBank comes thru for me.
have purchased this program in good faith thinking yes great finally an intelligent program, only to be really disapointed by it first of all at no point was there any indication of amount of money that would be required for all the supplements aslo when I looked at the exercise routine I knew straight I was way out of my depth as I am not experienced enough having just joined a gym in February after a 10 years break. I mentioned this to your support team only to be sent a beginner exercise routine which I showed to my trainer at the gym who agreed this was absolutely out of the question for a beginner! I feel this product is being totally mis sold! does anybody else feel the same??
Hi Joyce,
I’m sorry that you find this program unsuitable but lots of people are doing it and report good results.
You need to understand that this is not a product of WorlofDiets.com but of Joel Marion. We cannot provide you with support for this product. We just wrote a review of it.
Hi Joyce,
The exact same thing happened to me! I contacted Joel Marion’s support and they gave me the run around and refused to return. Don’t go through Joel Marion’s customer service. Contact ClickBank who processes the payments. ClickBank will promptly refund your money!
After dealing with Joel Marion’s customer service, I would NEVER purchase from them again!
Hi
I have a gluten intolerance, yeast and dairy. I eat fish and eggs – can this diet be successful when having these conditions?
I have just started the Xtreme weight loss plan. The fast day was fine but the Shakes day is a problem. I don’t have a sweet tooth and find taking protein shakes are awfully sweet. Can you take another sourse of protein on these days.
I bought this diet on 5/6/10 and have been on it now since 5/8/10. I found two small problems within the diet plan that I need to have answered but I can’t find any contact info. Is there anyway to get a hold of someone to answer the questions I have?
Hi Matt,
I can’t post Joel Marion’s support email here as I’m sure he wants it to be for customers only. However, when you ordered the diet you got an email receipt. In that email there’s a support email for Joel Marion. Use that.
How do I contact Joel with my questions? I purchased the extra pack that says I get a personal assessment to set up my plan, but no one has contacted me yet…
Hi,
I can’t publish the support email for everyone to see as it’s for customers only. In the receipt you got by email, there’s the support email you need to contact.
Just found this site.Purchased the program on 5/6/10. Don’t particularly want to download the material. Would rather have the books, etc. in hand. I emailed Joel Marion, but I wonder if you can tell me if I will receive the paper materials (and when) or if I only get the download version. I do better if I can read from a book since my computer is not in the place I will be working out. Thanks.
Hi Barb,
You only get the digital version of the program but you can simply print it out.
Please how can i subscribe to joel marion
Hi, you need to go here: XtremeFatLossDiet.com
I purchased the diet on May 6th and have yet to receive the email download. I also purchased the Done-for-You Accelerator Pack and the Cheat Your Way Thin Deluxe Edition options that follow at the same time and have yet to receive these email downloads either. I have all the order numbers so can you please get in touch with me so I can access my downloads. Thanks!:)
Hi Carol,
When you purchased XFLD, you got an email with the support email. Please contact Joel Marion through that email and he’ll get you all your downloads ASAP.
I am also interested, but I don’t like vegetables and I find all diet plans require you to eat many vegetables and that is where I fail. Is this going to be a problem on this diet? Also, I get headaches if I don’t eat enough. Are the fast days extreme? My husband works doing hard labor, will this diet give him enough energy to still do his day job?
Hi i was just wondering if most of the workout sections will need to take place in a gym so therefore will i need equipments like a running machine or can it be easily done at home. I am just trying to figure out if i am going to have to spend more money on a gym membership as well.
The only equipment really required to do the workouts is basic equipment like a pair of dumbbells and a stability ball so no, a gym membership is not a must.
I just got the Fat Burning Furnace, is there a big difference between these two programs. Also, I’m vegetarian, wheat free, diary free, and have some fruit and veggie allergies, too. Will I be able to do it without eating meat? I do eat eggs, though.
Hi Laura,
Yes, there is a difference. The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet is more advanced. It’s a 25 day focused effort to burn off the most fat possible. The nutritional methods and workout routines and combos are very different.
What are not eating any meat? Is that ok?
You can eat eggs as your source of protein, yes. I don’t know whether you eat fish or not but that is also a possibility in this program instead of meat.
How many pages is the book in the event you wanted to print it once downloaded?
Hi Joanne,
There are a few resources in the package but it’s not long at all in total.
I live in Germany, so my question is: Does the food plan contains food that one can buy mostly anywhere or does it refer to a lot of products aimed at America and Americans? I have tried many other food, diet and exercise plans before and they almost always mention foods and drinks that cannot be bought here in Germany.
Hi,
You can get the food in Germany. I don’t think anyone who lives in Europe will have a problem with the food at all.
I’m a 15 years old girl. Will this program still be suitable for me??
My entire family is also vegan…will this be problem as well?
Hi Jessica,
I think this is a program adults. I’m not sure if it’s right for a 15 year old.
i purchased the diet this afternoon. it looks ok, but beware- you have to be EXTREMELY dedicated for 25 days. this is not something that really allows for slip ups. i think you could do the diet if you have allergies- there are substitutions for just about everything now ( i can’t drink milk and use soy instead)- you just have to keep your macro-nutrients in check. there is a lot of counting (cals, carbs, fat, protein). to follow it perfectly, expect to spend money on curtain supplements (protein powders and such, not diet pills). i’m still not sure if i am going to keep it yet, and the only reason i’m considering it is because i just got out of school and have a lot more time to dedicate to this.
I am worried that if I lose weight too quickly, I will have loose skin. (I have around 50 lbs to lose) Is this something that can happen? I’m wondering if it is better to lose the weight slowly so that I don’t get loose skin. Or will the excercise program take care of this problem?
Thanks.
Hi Anita,
I believe that the workouts you’ll do will help you avoid the loose skin problem. Also, just because Joel Marion says that people can lose up to 25 pounds in 25 days, doesn’t mean you have to take it this fast. You can weigh yourself weekly and make adjustments if you feel that it’s going too fast.
In addition, you’ll be able to ask Joel these questions and any other you may have. I’m sure he will have the answers you seek.
I am disappointed that there isn’t more info–just that beginners can do this to. What about people with food allergies–dairy, eggs, gluten etc. Can they follow it. Athritis, knee problems… Will you get the refund if you order it and then find out that you can’t do it since this info is not made available before purchase?
Hi Sara,
You can get a refund no matter what. It’s a no questions asked money back guarantee.
As to the food, there are plenty of options so there shouldn’t be a problem.
As to people with bad knees or other conditions, it’s a little difficult to say as these can have varying degrees. I believe that the vast majority of people can do these workouts.
Is there a way to see a one day sample page of the diet and exercise plan?
I don’t mind intensive workouts but I have a 40-hour job. Does anyone know how long the workouts last? I could do them before or after work but if somehow the optimum time to be working out is 2:30 in the afternoon then that does me no good. Anyone?
Hi, the workouts aren’t long and tedious but short and intensive. You don’t need to go exercise in the middle of your work day.
I am so interested in this diet plan but have no interest in the workout portion of it. I don’t do well with workouts that have me following along with sheets of paper. I’m more of a follow-along-to-a-dvd type of person. I wish there was a way to just purchase the diet.
Hi, I see what you’re saying, but in this case the workouts and diet go hand in hand. It’s the way to get the best results possible.
I want to order the Xtreme weight loss diet – looks like May 4th – Just putting in my hopes and maybe a good birthday gift for me (May 2nd!). I’ve shared this with my friend (who is a personal trainer) and she is hooked too. Looks like we will work together on the diet workout plan!
Audio part was on this site: http://XtremeFatLossDiet.com/audio.html
I may have miss led you – it’s a promo for the upcoming release of the diet… It’s good. More on the workouts would make it even better (for me anyway)
It reads well, I’m interested but still hesitant…found on another site the “audio” portion…can’t find it here?
Hi Rachel,
Which site had an audio portion of the program?
It’s not released yet.
