What Is The Fat Smash Extreme Diet?

Ian Smith outlined this diet in his best selling book but it only became famous when it was referenced to in the smash hit TV program Celebrity Fit Camp. But just because it was used or applauded on TV doesn’t always mean it is good for you. There are many faddy diets that became very popular when various media people endorsed them. But the good news is that the Fat Smash Diet plan is a particularly healthy weight loss program.

One of the reasons this diet proved to be so popular is that you don’t have to count calories. Not everyone wants to keep count of the points they have consumed or have to start preparing each meal with a weighing scales in front of them. But if you are looking for a plan that guarantees weight loss without effort, you need to look elsewhere. One of the reasons why the this plan is so effective is that it doesn’t make false promises. It doesn’t tell you that you can lose loads of excess pounds without changing your diet or taking exercise. It makes it clear that you have to follow a combination of a healthy eating plan and fitness program to lose weight. In that regard it is very similar to any fitness bootcamp you join.

The basics of the fat smash plan are as follows: The 90 day program is divided into four distinct phases. The first step is a detox program over the initial nine days so that you can rid your body of the accumulated toxins built up over the last few years. You will eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Pick the right time to do this as it is common to feel drained, tired and suffer from headaches. Whether or not detoxification is necessary as after all your liver, kidneys and skin work on detoxifying your body every day, it is a great motivational tool when you first start a weight loss program. Nothing sets you up for success better than to watch the excess pounds melt away in the first few days of the program. Any doubts about your ability to succeed will also disappear.

When you have finished the detox you move onto the second phase of the plan which allows you to include a wider variety of foods including eggs, shellfish and lean protein such as skinless chicken or turkey. You can also start a gentle bootcamp exercise program at this point.

Phase 3 introduces the foods you would be more accustomed to eating such as pasta, bread and wheat based products although some prefer to skip the white version of these foods and swop them for wholegrain products. Phase 3 also allows you to eat some deserts. Most people love phase four as you get to eat some convenience foods.

If you are allowed to eat all of the food groups how can you lose weight? Mr Smith works on the principle of everything in moderation which means you are more likely to keep on track. He recommends you eat small but regular meals to get your metabolism working properly. The fat smash plan will help you to lose weight but it is much more effective if you follow the authors suggestions to incorporate more exercise in your life. You could easily combine this weight loss program with a fitness bootcamp DVD to really get your body looking the way
