The Fat Smash Diet was developed by Dr. Ian Smith and is used on the TV show Celebrity Fit Club.
http://www.fatsmashdiet.com/It's basically a way to "relearn" how to eat. Instead of three meals a day, you eat six times a day, but smaller portions.
In the first phase of the Fat Smash Diet, food choices should be eaten raw, grilled or steamed. Fats are limited to a maximum of 3 tablespoons, with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil per day. Allowed foods include unlimited fruits and vegetables (except white potatoes or avocado), chickpeas, lentils, tofu, and beans. It also permits limited amounts of brown rice; low-fat, skim, or soy milk; oatmeal; low-fat yogurt; egg whites; and herbal tea. This is the total menu for nine days.
Phase 2: Foundation is a three-week period introducing additional foods, maintaining the schedule of four to five small meals throughout the day, and enjoying them simply prepared as defined in phase one. Foods allowed in limited quantities in this phase include avocado, lean meats, seafood, whole egg, cheese, a variety of whole-grain cereals, granulated sugar, butter, fat-free mayo, coffee (10 ounces a day), fruit juice, diet soda, lemonade, and club soda.
Phase 3: Construction is a four-week period embodying the principles of the first two phases, with the ability to add more foods into the plan. Portions are a little larger but still limited. Pasta and bread are introduced for the first time, along with one dessert per day, chosen from a short list of acceptable sweets.
Phase 4: The Temple is the final stage and one that the author promises will last a lifetime. In the phase wine, beer, pizza, and potatoes are now included, accompanying the guiding principles of exercise, portion control, not skipping meals, and eating four to five times daily.
This is my second time on Fat Smash, I strayed off of it. The first time I tried it, in the first 9 days I lost 10 pounds. This time around, as of the first 7 days I lost 6 pounds. I've decided not to stop Phase one at 9 days, but continue for a full two weeks, and then move on to Phase 2. On the TV show (which takes out of shape celebrities and works them back into shape) some of the contestants have lost as much as 14 pounds in the first 9 days, but of course, they are exercising vigorously.
