The Fat Smash Diet works!

I learned about this diet through a friend at work and figured I'd give it a shot. I'm happy to say that within the first week I lost 7 lbs, and have lost an additional 3 since then, for a total of 10 lbs! It's a relatively easy diet to do, but like any other diet, it requires some dedication. However, as the book says, if you fall off track, it is easy to pick yourself back up. I really loved how easy of a read this book was. Dr. Smith movtivates you to change your lifestyle and presents his weight loss plan in a very clear and concise manner. I think it's a great buy for anyone trying to change their life.

NOT A DIET

No counting calories, no starving. This is not a diet book but a lifestyle change in eating. You will ease into the program and it will become part of your everyday style of eating. YOU WILL SEE THE WEIGHT SLOWLY FALL AWAY. also try Finger Licking Different.

KEEPING THE FAT OFF

I love to eat and have had problems trying to keep my weight down.
This is a good book for anyone who is trying to lose weight. It is also good for eating healthy. After purchasing this book, this is the only book I need to help me keep the fat off.

It Works

I am nearing the end of Phase II, and I can definitely say that this diet works if you follow it (and actually even if you cheat just a little bit). I have lost a little over 8 pounds and several inches in my waist and hips. The results also look much healthier than they have with past diets. Even though the weight came off pretty quickly, I'm looking a lot more fit than frail. This is in part due to the fact that I am working out more these days, but I think that the amount of veggies and fruits that this diet requires me to eat also makes a big difference.

The diet basically makes you live on vegetables and fruits for the first nine days, and you don't get any kinds of bread until after a month. If this sounds intense, it is. The upside is that you can eat as much as you want all day, but if you don't stock your fridge and keep snacks with you at all times, you will probably cave in to free food at the office, snacks at the coffee shop, etc. If you love junk food and hate veggies, you'll probably do a lot better with something like Weight Watchers, which still lets you keep some of those foods that you like. This will get you faster results, but it's not worth it if you can't follow the diet and are miserable.

I like that this book allows for a lot of freedom when it comes to recipes. You don't have to follow a bunch of specific ones (which for me always entails running to the grocery for expensive stuff I don't have, spending more time cooking than I want to, etc.); you just have to make sure that you stick to cooking with certain foods (namely fruits and veggies). I've noticed in online support groups that this can be a downside if you don't take care to diversify your diet. The book gives you limits on how much of the "allowed foods" you can have each day, but it gives no minimums for what you must have. This worked fine for me, but for people who don't like a good number of fruits and veggies and therefore stick to eating a bunch of bananas or a bunch of sweet potatoes, this could really backfire.

While the book requires that you go back to the beginning of Phase I if you cheat, I will admit that my stomach got a little queasy at the end of Phase I, so I caved and ate half a turkey sandwich. I didn't start over because 9 days of only veggies and fruit was all I could take! The key, I think, is not caving often and not caving with really damaging foods. Phasing in carbs and fat slowly has definitely made me more aware of how much I eat them and why. I've also gotten more used to eating fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Once you get to the final phase (which you keep for life), the diet looks easy to maintain. It even allows for french fries now and then.

The content of the book is very minimal, but this is a plus for me. I don't want to read through all sorts of funny anecdotes or medical explanations; I just want to know what to eat to lose the weight. The diet is based on enough common sense for the book not to have to spend too much time justifying its approach. The only thing that I would have liked is more recipes. Luckily, you can find some online forums where fat smash dieters share some of their favorites. As the diet gains popularity, I'm guessing that more recipes will pop up.

Is working

It is a good book, it specifies everything you need to do, everything you need to eat, and what NOT to eat.
Is working, I lost 8 pounds in two weeks. I have not followed it this past weekend because I had some events, but Im sticking to it as much as possible, I also dont exercise often, in the two weeks I only went to the gym 3 times, so if you do stick to the program, you will probably loose more. I reccomend it.
