How can I get to the threads I am active on to eliminate having to search for them? I am so not knowledgeable navigating this.

I started the Fat Smash this past monday 11/2 and I am loving it I am feeling better already I need a Buddy too, I need to loose 37 pounds not fast but at a reasonable pace. I have done this diet before and lost a considerable amount of weight....We can do this together Buddy Style...

Hi Fellow Phase 1 Smashers,

As promised earlier today, I have converted a muffin recipe for Sweet Potatoe Muffins and have made it Phase 1 and Up Fat Smash Diet friendly. I've named them Fat Smashin Pumpkin Muffins, in the recipe I substituted pumpkin which turned out well.

Already made some today and they are pretty darn good. You can find the recipe on the Fat Smash Diet thread. I would suggest maybe cutting the batch in half if you don't have anyone else in the house that will eat them...although I can't imagine why, they are tasty! It makes 40, yes 40 mini muffins. I also included the nutrition stats for those who want to know. Even with using brown sugar, margerine, and olive oil, all of the quantities per serving (2 mini muffins) stay within our allotted daily intake of all ingredients.

Hope you enjoy them!

Well, I have doing pretty well on the diet. Have been eating fruits and vegetables. Have been walking. Probably not eating enough times in a day or drinking enough water...but overall, pretty well. Until yesterday! Yesterday I was out, I got hungry and had some popcorn from Target. Then when I got home I had a sweet potatoe burritto (it was small but unfortunately it had a little cheese, black beans and a flower tortilla). Well, I am still going to go back to the diet today and stick with it the remaining 4 days. But, I guess that I will not be completely detoxed. Any thoughts?

Hi There Equinata,

Thank you for the tip on the water! I really appreciate it and will check them out.

Take Care!

Good morning All, Its nice to see so many people doing this diet I REALLY need the support

. Well today is day three for me I have not had a chance to work out at all so I am a little disappointed about that but I will try my best to get something in this weekend. I know its only day three but I weighed myself and I am down 2lbs. Is anybody else getting bored with the food? Maybe I am because I did the detox phase a few times last month but decided to start over because I never made the full 9 days. I will see how the rest of the day and the weekend go usually my weekends are when I lose it and start eating all the “bad” food again.

Mini goal during detox!

Good Morning ladies, I finally subscribed to this thread so I can never lose you guys again.
I am on the EFS diet and to change the foods up I usually cook my brown rice about 4 servings at a time and then when I need to have the brown rice for a meal I would sautee some onions and minced garlic with very little olive oil then add the rice and some soy sauce just like the chinese restaurants. It makes a huge difference. I get creative with my beans like I would made some white kidney beans with some chili ready tomatoes (sold in a can). I also like to use spanish and mexican seasonings for my beans, tomatoe sauce, sofrito, recaito, onions, garlic. You can never go wrong with onions. Even with my veggie or soy burgers I will sautee onions to eat with it. Bake chicken and fish with basil, italian seasoning, oregeno, etc... I'm a straight garlic veggie person it's great with spinach and stringbeans, but my brocoli has to have a little sweet & sour sauce (made by hellmans now) and soy sauce. Ladies being creative will get you very far on this diet.

Good Morning Ladies,

Nice to see a number of you reporting in this morning already. So, I know that we are not supposed to weigh in until day 10, but from the beginning I had made a mini goal for myself to weigh in at the half way point. This way if I needed to tweak what I was doing, I could. Rather than staying on it the same way all 9 days and finding out it really didn't make a difference, that's just insane.

So after 4 full days I am down 2.8 lbs. Happy about that especially since I am a past thyroid cancer patient and I virtually have no metabolism! What I do have, is controlled with medication. The Dr. however, keeps me on a low dose in order to keep my levels supressed. This is great for not allowing cancer to enter me again but not so much for weight gain or trying to lose.

I only got activity in 2 out of the 4 days. I have promised my husband I will go out and cut our back yard today, which is way overdue. This will be a good workout I'm positive!

Vdotson,
Just like with anything, you dust yourself off and get back on that detox horse! So, it was a partial day of questionable choices. Make up for it by working out some extra time to burn those calories off. Keep concious of the choices next time, before you put them in you mouth. If you still do it, then you forgive yourself, make apoint of not doing it again, and do something to burn those extra calories off. I know this is detox but you can bet your butt if those celebrities had the chance to sneak in something not approved, they did it too! Good luck and know we are here for you.

Brook,
Congrats on being down 2 lbs already! Like I said above, don't get discouraged, just get back to it! Equinata has some wonderful suggestions as to what she does with food. If you are looking for a change for something that is "approved" then just shout out ahead of time and we will try to come to your rescue with something! Good Luck!

Equinata,
I'm glad that you figured out to subscribe to this thread. I had done that already so I was getting regular updates, but didn't know that was the "key"! Thank you for sharing your great suggestions on what you do to "mix" it up in Phase 1. Am I correct that you are talking about future phases with the mention of chicken, fish, and sauces? I'm sure you will continue to be a good source of information to help us all with our challenges!

Hey everyone,

Jan - I am actually doing the Extreme Fat Smash Diet by Dr. Smith. It is only 3 cycles long which last 7 days and 3 cycles is one rotation. This diet does not cut out any food group, so meat/fish is on the menus in the amout of 3 or 4 ounces. It is said that you can loose up to 12lbs in one rotation if you follow it to the letter.

I apologize ladies, if I confused you as I am smashing along with you just from a different book!

vdotson · 11-07-2009, 11:02 AM

Hi Equinata!

Did you every do the FS diet? How do you like the EFS vs. FS? Which one were YOU most successful with?

Thanks!
