Oh dear. 10 pounds by Thanksgiving?
Re: the Fat Smash Diet... I tried it and did not like it very much. I did the detox for 10 days like they said, and I only lost 2 pounds. I exercised much more than they recommended, so perhaps my muscles were retaining a bit of water, but... needless to say, I ripped that book up and threw it in the trash!
(Seriously? It's still in one of my book cases somewhere, but I haven't opened it or tried the diet again and have no intention to now that I have lost my weight.)
The Extreme Fat Smash Diet might even work a little better in getting 10 pounds off by Thanksgiving. However, the latter is not a diet plan that should be carried out for more than a few weeks at a time, whereas the Fat Smash Diet is a guide to a lifestyle change (*I* didn't like it, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work for others
)
Anyway, in my humble opinion, 10 pounds by Thanksgiving might be a pretty lofty goal to healthily achieve, but if that is what will make you happy, I wish you the best of luck... but don't become too discouraged if it doesn't happen - that's all.
