Extreme Fat Smash Diet

Extremely Good

Lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks claims the book. And after reviewing it, I believe it just might be possible. Written by the author of last year's "The Fat Smash Diet," the idea of this seems to be, if you want big results, you'll have to push yourself beyond normal limits to attain them.

Once again, readers will find Dr. Smith's easy and friendly writing style. At the start of the book, you find out your "dieting type" and then quickly go from there. Since the book is set up for you to lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks, its organized in three 1 week cycles, which is 21 days. For each day, there is a menu plan (four meals a day) and a journal page you to write on. Know too that the exercise recommended each day is cardio. Other goodies include recipes, which easily make up about a third of the book, and a handy appendix ends the book (which contains useful info about BMI's, how to read food labels, etc.).

All in all, I feel like this is a great book that is well laid out and very user friendly. One caveat though. Following the plan may not be easy at times, and the book will tell you this outright. Nonetheless, it should benefit many who struggle with their weight loss demons. Also suggest Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if a shoulder problem keeps you from exercising.

I'm Smashing This Fat Forever

The book has changed the way I look at eating food. I lost 6 pounds during cycle 1 and I am determined to keep loosing. Thank you for creating a diet for us real people with food issues. The recommended snacks, guidelines, tips and daily journal give me what I need to succeed. Last week was the first time I tasted a turkey burger. I loved it!!

Great way to kick start a diet!

This plan was easy to follow. You have to stick to it. No strange foods or crazy things to eat. Basic meals. I liked it because it got me motivated to get off some weight and the exercise got me in shape and healthy. I lost 12 pounds. Although I was a little hungry at night. I made some of the recipes and they were good! I have incorporated these exercise and eating habits to keep the weight off. So far, so good!

Great read, but I was hungry!

When I bought this book, I only wanted to maybe lose 5 pounds and was in pretty good shape already. My goal wasn't to lose a lot of weight, but this program would work great for those who want to (if they're dedicated). The book is an easy read, very informative, and organized well. Dr. Ian tells the reader upfront that this will be hard...And it is. I was hungry the majority of the time. It works though! I like the fact that he emphasizes exercise and it's completely health oriented. You're expected to work out almost everyday (as you should if you want to lose weight) and it's not bad at all. It recommends you do mostly cardio. The meals are balanced with all food groups and there's recipes in the back to help. Snacks given are creative and tasty, with lots of options. It is a great book to learn more about portions and nutrition. My only concern is that the overall calorie intakes for the day seem REALLY low. Some "cycles" of the diet are definitely NOT healthy long term, but overall it's helpful and works.

lost 5 lbs the first week

I was a little skeptical about the 9 day detox. It wasnt as hard as i thought it would be. after day 3 i had it down. I lost 5 pounds with no execrise. but if your looking for fast weight lost i reccomind the extreme fat smash
