The fat smash diet was a diet book written by Dr. Ian Smith, and made popular on a VH1 show called Celebrity Fit Club where B. list celebrities competed to lose the most weight. The diet encourages people to eat better while at the same time to become more active.
Ian Smith, the fat smash diet author, has quite a resume. He graduated from Harvard, is a medical contributor to the view television program, a medical columnist for men’s health magazine, and sits on the Board of Directors of the American Council on exercise. He also created the TV show that was centered around his fat smash diet.
The fat smash diet is separated into four phases designed to smash bad habits and create new healthy habits. These phases are:
One – detox: This is a nine day period on the fat smash diet during which the body and mind are purged of impurities, and during which Dr. Smith claims people can lose anywhere from 6 to 10 pounds. This phase includes some strange but ineffective suggestions such as weighing yourself in the nude and being photographed in a bathing suit.
Two – foundation: Some foods removed during detox are reintegrated during this three week phase in the smash diet. People can eat, for example, small amounts of meat – it has to do with controlling portions rather than counting calories.
Three – construction: This a four-week phase is a time during which the dieter creates an eating plan that incorporates foods they enjoy. These foods can include desserts, pasta, bread, and many other foods restricted another types of diets such as the Atkins diet. In the fat smash diet moderation is the key.
Four – Temple: This part of the fat smash diet lasts a life time. Dr. Smith refers to the work done in the other three phases as the Temple, which must be maintained with continued diligence in moderation achieved through self-control.
Overall the fat smash diet is just OK. The weight lost in phase one is really due to starvations, which isn’t good. In addition the nine day detox is considered unhealthy by many health experts. But many of the general principles of the fat smash diet are good ones – including exercise and moderation in all foods eaten.
