The Fat Smash Diet: It really does work

Let's get right to the point with this one. Dr. Ian starts you off on theFat Smash Diet with a 9 day detox. The detox allows you to eat all of the fruits and veggies you want. However there are some things that you can not eat such as bread, meat of any kind, soda, nuts, dried fruits and potatoes just to name a few.Dr. Ian also lets you know that in order for this to work you must work out at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day, and you must eat 4-5 meals a day. After the nine days of detox your body is supposed to be prepped and ready to take on Stage two which re-introduces your body to healthy foods.

Included in the book are a lot of easy to follow recipes that help to aid you in your quest to loose weight and live healthier. Stage 2 lasts for three weeks and try's to reprogram you so that you will understand the correct ways to eat. You can continue to eat the fruits and veggies allowed during the detox phase, but the good part is you can start eating meat again. The most important thing is to not eat any fried foods and try and follow the meal plans as closely as possible. Once you have successfully completed the three weeks of Stage 2, you can move onto the next stage.

You have reached the next stage and now the Fat Smash Diet allows you to start eating foods that you enjoy; but don't get excited you have not reached the point where you can start eating steaks and fried chicken wings. Dr. Ian suggests that you eat things like whole wheat pasta, egg whites and special K. Making sure to watch what you eat and how much you are eating is important throughout all of the stages of the Fat Smash Diet. Working out is just as important and there are samples within each chapter of the book that will help you add variety to your workouts so that you will not get bored.

If you are planning to do this diet, I would recommend that you also sign up for the 50 Million Pound Challenge. I found that during the final phase it was easier for me to substitute the meals emailed to me daily on my custom meal plan, than to figure it out on my own. Throughout this process both the book and the website were great companions, where one was inconclusive the other filled in the missing pieces. Stage 4 is the final piece within the Fat Smash Diet. Dr. Ian takes the time to re-emphasize the key points mentioned throughout the book:

1. Work out 30 minutes a day, five days per week.
2. Eat 4-5 means a day.
3. Do not over-indulge, even though the foods that you are eating are healthier.
4. If you fall of the wagon, get back up and start from the detox.

We here at soulae highly recommend that you give this diet a try. It gave me the motivation to stick it out. I will say that I have experienced my pitfalls and have had to revisit the detox stage a couple of times but I just re-read the bookand get back on the horse. It is a journey to a healthier, better life. Maintaining the weight loss and being healthy will not happen over night. We are working to reprogram our way of thinking when it comes to food and the place it has in our lives.

"Keep Moving Forward", literally...
