Summary: The Fat Smash Diet
Comment: I received my book today. Thanks for the speedy delivery. It is easy to read and I am ready to get started on phase I of the program.

Summary: Like the plan
Comment: I liked the plan. It's spelled out pretty basic. I think it's better to start when the weather's warm. The detox doesn't seem so bad in the summer when you usually eat light anyway. I mainly followed the "allowed lists" because it gave me structure. I noticed increased strength from the regular exercise and nutritional food, and I felt a lot better eating mostly fruits and vegetables. I almost didn't go back to meat. I am only eating meat once a day, most days. I am nearing the end of phase two (9 days for phase 1 and 3 weeks for phase 2)and I have lost 10 pounds - and I cheated a few days while on vacation. And I've noticed a big difference in my clothes. I can even wear a necklace now that I couldn't wear before. I like the way it emphasizes slowly taking off the weight and changing your eating and exersise habits. So far it's a good plan for someone who doen't want to figure out what they can eat. It's spelled out for you.

Summary: After one year from completing phase 3...
Comment: Hello, I thought you might want to hear from someone who's not currently on the diet (as so many reviewers...trust me, I understand their enthusiasm!)
I finished all three phases 11 months ago, and I have maintained all the weight off. I lost 30 pounds, and I feel great. Throughout the diet, I never once felt hungry, or had trouble eating the foods he suggests (in fact, I found it hard to eat so MUCH food, because he recommends snacking and I was a one meal per day person before the diet...and this book taught me that eating like this slows your metabolism.
I'm 42, and I am back to what I weighed in high school.
I can't say enough about this diet, and I've turned a few people on to it, though, they came from very bad eating habits, so it's been harder for them to eat steamed veggies, and brown rice.
I have to say, I can eat what I want, when I want, and how much I want (I'm a nurse, and I eat cookies and cake all night long, pretty much) and my metabolism is still revved up.
Throughout the year, I have put on a pound or two, but I take it back off quickly as soon as I feel it by going back to phase two.
It's not hard, and it's well-worth sticking to.

Summary: The Fat Smash Diet: The Last Diet You'll Ever Need
Comment: I like this book. It was easy to read and comprehend. The meals looked like foods I could purchase without a major change to my budget. So far I am enjoying the foods that I am eating and do not feel deprived.

Summary: not enough recipes/not specifc info
Comment: While I found this book and easy read and a great diet to follow (my parents want to try it), there are only a couple concerns I have come across. Before I get to those I just want to say the diet is GREAT---I have lost 14 pounds this past month, but here are just the some things that need to be tweaked in the book (maybe in the 2nd edition). First of all---the first phase should be called the vegetarian/no-caffeine phase. I do not eat alot of veggies (hence my weight problem) and work nights, so I am used to consuming at least one can diet soda or cup of coffee a day. BUT, I got through it just fine and learned to make veggies in different ways with the recipes provided. That gets me to the second problem I had. There are only a handful of recipes in this book and many of them seem to be made for people in Beverly Hills. One of the recipes is for Sea Bass, which by the way, is $24/lb right now and usually expensive (what's wrong with a recipe using Cod or Salmon?). Alot of recipes included uncommon ingredients that I ran to different stores trying to find. Every recipe I tried was pretty tasty and I realize I don't have to go by the recipes alone, but as I've said before, I did not eat very many veggies before, so convenience of different recipes would help. Also--when you are able to eat meat again, you are able to eat 3-4oz of different meats/day---question....is that cooked or uncooked? Some diets say uncooked, but I'll tell you that the 4oz of scallops/shrimp I cooked went right down to about 1oz, so better wording would be great.
Dr. Ian is great, I've watched him on Celebrity Fit Club and he has motivated me eat healthier. Great diet, the book just needs some tweaking.
