Fat Smash Diet
SummaryDetox for 9 days, eating mainly fruits. Then, eat 4-5 meals a day and exercise. DescriptionInitially, during the 9 day detox, you eat mainly just fruits and vegetables. Then, you shift to allowing more foods. You are allowed to eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, seafood, lean meat, and sugar substitutes. You avoid sweets, alcohol, refined grains, fried food, fatty meats, and fatty salad dressings. Regular exercise is a big part of this diet as well. You don't have to count calories and you aren't limited in how much you eat. Though, overeating is not recommended. HistoryThe "Fat Smash Diet" was created by Dr. Ian Smith who has a strong history in the media. He's the a medical contributor on ABC's "The View", a medical columnist for Men's Health magazine, and the diet expert on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club." He has also been on various radio show and written articles for major newspapers and magazines. He has degrees from Harvard, Columbia, and University of Chicago (medical school). CriticismThe idea of "detoxing" has no scientific meaning or basis. The book contains recipes, but some have too much salt.

| Chitch | posted 20-May-2011 10:51pm I did the FS diet several years ago and lost about 30 pounds in 6 weeks. Alas, I have gained it all back over the last 3 years. I have no energy anymore and feel like a slug most days. I still have the FS book and I am re-reading it right now. I also just got Dr. Smith new book, EAT, at the library and I'm going to read that, too. I'd like to get some support and will be checking back to see if anyone is around ;). Also, can't remember all details of the phases but when you can start eating cereal, I made a FS version of "chex mix". Once I get to that point again, I'll share the recipe. |

| Izzy | posted 12-Aug-2011 8:46pm Renee not sure if you are still on here but I have started too- phase 1. I am 5'4 and 180 trying to get to 140lbs. |
| Anonymous | posted 16-Aug-2011 3:58am I'm on day two of the FS and I am feeling deprived. I want other foods such as breads or sweets but I keep telling myself that they are the very reason that i'm here. My starting weight was 276 and I desperately want to lose at least 10lbs in phase 1. I hope that everyone will work together so that we can encourage each other. |
| Anonymous | posted 30-Aug-2011 1:54pm Lost 20lbs. in last time I was on the FS diet. Fell off the wagon, but am ready to start again. This is day 2 of phase 1, hope it works as well this time... |

| Amy | posted 2-Sep-2011 5:36pm On day 3 of P1 and couldn't wait 6 more days to weigh in curiosity got the best of me and to my surprise I'm down 7 lbs!!! Right now that's the only thing keeping me going. I have had a terrible headache for 2 days now and feel like I've got a touch of the flu... Anyone else having these issues? It's weird, and getting quite annoying, but I am not going to give up! 7 lbs in 3 days!!! Holy crap!!! |
| Izzy | posted 3-Sep-2011 10:17pm I fell off and could not complete phase 1. I am trying again. I just went to the store and got lots of fruit and veggies. Wish me luck... |
| Izzy | posted 3-Sep-2011 10:18pm Amy for the headache make sure you are drinking lots of water and eating every 3 hours. That helped me a lot last time. |
| banded and still struggling | posted 19-Sep-2011 3:05pm I will start FS today. I have the extreme FS book but I trying to see if the first FS diet will be better to start on. Any suggestions. Much earlier in the post someone asked about almond milk.(yes or no). I'm using 2 protein shakes as my snacks with almond milk. How will this affect my weight loss? If I have time I will go out and buy the first book today or tomorrow. Starting weight is 198. My goal is 185 by Oct. 5. |
| gadrm | posted 20-Oct-2011 3:28pm has any tried using a little salt in phase 1. if so, did it affect your weight loss? The blan food is not good!!!! |
| jessica | posted 3-Nov-2011 4:20pm hey, is anyone there? im starting the fat smash diet monday nov. 7th. want to find a diet buddy! im really excited to start a new lifestyle and lose this weight. i am 261 and want to get to around 150. im 26 yrs old. |
| desperately seeking weight loss | posted 8-Dec-2011 9:18pm Hi. So nervous about starting and failing this but I know its all about lifestyle change. I'm ready to give it a try like I've done with all the other diets I've tried and failed. Nervous and anxious tired of fighting fat. This is my try before looking into weight loss surgery which is my last option. Really don't want surgery because of risks involved and cost but nothing seems to work. I feel very encouraged and motivated reading everyones blogs. Wish me luck :) |
| Shariairy | posted 5-Jan-2012 8:13pm Hi good people, i started yesterday I'm super excited to find this forum. Day 2 terrible headache but I'm not having any cravings.. I only want to lose 20 pounds and gain muscle but I could use the support..:) super excited!! |
| Ardine | posted 12-Jan-2012 12:21pm Hi all! Today is Day 1 - so far, so good. I'm 5'4", 228 pds. My overall goal is to lose 50 pounds. I wanted to jumpstart my weight loss and change my eating habits by doing the Fat Smash Diet. Hopefully some folks are still on this forum. Would love to "gripe" with someone. |
| Honey | posted 17-Jan-2012 12:42pm Hi, I am 5'3 and 169 pounds!! Whoa! Today is day 6 of phase 1. I weighed myself yesterday and I lost 5 pounds. Yay! I would like to be 140-145. I will stay on phase 1 for 15 days instead of 9. I am not hungry. I feel great. The first 3 days were hell. I was STARVING!! |
| Ardine | posted 20-Jan-2012 4:20pm Hey Honey! Go you for getting to Day 6!!!! :( i fell off. so i'm going grocery shopping tonight and re-starting tomorrow morning. I like you am going to aim for more than nine days. Goal: Jan 21st - Feb 4th, 15 days. 228 pds. lots to loss. |
| melissa92 | posted 12-Feb-2012 8:21am I am on day 4 of this diet. I weighed yesterday and was only down 1/2 pd yesterday. Exercising 20-30 mins per day. I only gave up the coffee the 3 days and then I couldnt stand it anymore. I have been so bloated and gas pains, I do not want to keep going. I am trying though! Energy is good and mental clarity is great. I am wondering if I could do my own version of just doing this detox one or two day per week as a means to cut calories overall. 9 days (heck even 3-4) of me mainly eating rice, beans and veggies is too much for my IBS-C and gastritis. |
| Williams2012 | posted 14-Feb-2012 7:51pm I'm on day two of the fat smash n I'm pretty proud of myself. Getting married May 11, 2013 so staying focused n getting my body back into tip top shape for the honeymoon & to start eating healthier.. 6'3" 224 need to lose about 15 pounds.. Quick question what type of beans has everyone been eating? Also would love a little more support so if anyone is interested in emailing let me know plz.. Good luck everyone |
| Tiffie531 | posted 16-Feb-2012 8:48pm @Williams2012 My fiancee and I started on Wednesday so we are just finishing up day 2 of phase 1. So far so good for us. We will be getting married on 4/13/13 and we both have a pretty hefty goal. I want to lose 75lbs and he wants to lose 50lbs. We made Red Beans and brown rice last night and tonight I made vegetarian chili with kidney beans and black beans. If you would like to email back and forth let me know!! |
| S.A.E. | posted 22-Feb-2012 1:21pm I would love to email with anyone. I'm in total need of support. I'm 230, 5'3. My goal is 180. (want to keep some of my curves!) email address is brownivygal0811@gmail.com. I'm going grocery shopping tonight so I can start tomorrow. |
| Anonymous | posted 27-Apr-2012 12:07pm The detox Phase 1, makes me feel like I was a real junk food "junkie". I got so sick, had the runs, etc. Sugar is such a real drug, when your system rids itself you feel much better, but honestly the first few days are rough!!! On Day 5 and feeling much lighter! |
| Ms N | posted 2-May-2012 5:07pm I would love to have a partner in this journey. I started 2 days ago, but had a setback yesterday because of my daughter's birthday. So, day started again today. Feel free to email me at ms_sweetie28@yahoo.com. |
| Mrs. Sweettooth | posted 15-May-2012 11:01am I've had the book for over a year and gained 25 lbs. since I purchased it. Now, I really need to use it. At 203 lbs, my short term goal is 180 lbs and my long term goal is 165 lbs. I'm going to need a lot of help and motivation with this, especially some good recipes. Ms N and brownivygal I will email you. lizalow65@yahoo.com |
