A lot of people want to lose weight, and a lot of people want to get fit.  The problem is that if you want to do both, you may find yourself with a problem, as it’s hard to find a program that helps you do both.  If you lose weight, you usually lose muscle.  If you put on muscle, you’ll often gain fat.

Jason Ferruggia says his Renegade Diet program can help you do both – you’ll gain muscle and get fit and you’ll lose weight, including that hard to lose stubborn fat, and you can do it all in 60 days.  That’s pretty impressive, especially if it actually works.  But is the diet complex?  Jason says it’s drop-dead simple to follow, too.

That sounds pretty interesting, so I decided to give Renegade Diet a closer look and see what it’s all about. Is Renegade Diet a scam, or is it a good program?

Renegade Diet Overview

The Renegade Diet is sold as a downloadable book in PDF format, which means that you can download it immediately after purchase, regardless of the time of day.  PDF books are portable, and can be read on nearly any computer device.

As I previously mentioned, the Renegade Diet program is designed to help you lose weight and gain muscle, and that’s often a difficult thing to accomplish.  Even worse is the fact that most such diets are going to be overly complex, meaning you’ll have to eat weird foods or spend all of your time doing match to figure out what to eat.  Jason says that Renegade Diet won’t involve any of that.

The Renegade Diet is a 158 page book that contains the following chapters:

• Introduction
• Problems We Need to Fix
• Dietary Myth
• The Basic Premise
• The Fasting Phase
• The Under Eating Phase
• The Over Eating Phase
• Losing Fat & Gaining Muscle Simultaneously
• How to Fix Your Broken Metabolism
• More Muscle Gain Modifications
• Morning Training Options
• Supplements
• 12 Step Quick Start Guide
• Renegade Diet Rules
• Shopping List
• Training Considerations

The first part of Renegade Diet will cover some common myths about dieting that the author says are all wrong.  You don’t need to eat six meals a day or that you need to consume a bunch of calories to build muscle.  He says that these things are wrong, and he’s discovered a simple system that’s easy to follow and which will allow just about anyone, with any schedule to work with this plan.

You will, of course, need to avoid certain foods, and I’ve reviewed some of Jason’s programs before.  As with his other diet programs, you’ll find yourself avoiding processed foods, sugars, most types of fats, caffeine and alcohol.  There’s nothing overly unusual here; these are the sorts of things that most diets will tell you to avoid.

What Jason endorses are lots of vegetables, some fruit, a few carbs (at the appropriate time) and lots of lean, grass-fed beef or wild caught fish.

The trick to the Renegade Diet isn’t so much what you eat, as that is defined by your desired weight and whether or not you’re trying to build muscle.  The secret to the Renegade Diet is when you eat, as this program involves doing things on a schedule.  You’ll be fasting for part of each day, followed by a four hour period where you eat only specific types of foods.  After that, you’ll have another four hour period where you’ll eat different specific types of foods.

So it’s fast for a while, eat some of this for a while, and then eat some of that for a while.  On the plus side, you’ll find that you’ve got a fair amount of latitude regarding what you eat, provided that you’re eating the right food groups at the right time.  Renegade Diet doesn’t give you a meal plan (that’s sold separately,) so you’ll have the ability to decide what you eat.

The secret is when you eat it.  If you’re trying to build muscle while working out, there’s some specific tweaking to the plan that you’ll have to apply, and when you choose to work out is critical.  That has to come in between the two eating periods.

This all sounds rather complicated, but it really isn’t.  You just need to follow a simple schedule and stick to the types of foods that you’re told to eat when you’re told to eat them.  The schedule doesn’t change; it will be the same every day, so that will help people who like to stick to a schedule.

If there’s a downside to the Renegade Diet book, it’s that Jason, as usual, tries to get you to buy a lot of dietary supplements, including his favorite, something called Athletic greens.  There are links throughout the book for these various supplements, as well as an entire chapter devoted to them. Whether you buy them or not is up to you, but be aware that he does push these products pretty hard.

Other than that, Renegade Diet is a pretty well written book.  Jason does have his biases regarding commercially produced foods, but it’s up to you if you’re going to go out of your way to buy non-hormonal, grass-fed beef or wild caught fish.  That said, the program is easy to follow and if you get regular exercise while using the Renegade Diet, you may very will find yourself getting fit and losing weight.

Renegade Diet Summary

Is Renegade Diet a scam?  No, it’s a solid, well written book that offers a relatively simple weight loss and fitness plan that’s easy to follow.  The book is affordable, too, and is priced within the means of just about everyone.  There are some attempts to get you to buy some nutritional supplements, but other than that, the book offers a good plan that hsould produce good results.
