Has anyone here joined the fat smash site? celebrityfitclub.com ?? I just joined and I cannot believe the amount of discrepancies of allowed foods for each phase between the book and the site. What is up with that?

I inquired with their "staff nutritionist" about the discrepancies and the only thing they could tell me was to go with what the site says and not the book.

Jennifer joined the site and we were dumbfounded by the same thing!

what are some of the discrepancies? I am just curious to know ?

Well, just a name a few that I came across :

The book says plain oatmeal vs. site says flavored oatmeal (such as maple/brown sugar instant from quaker oats)

book says no sweetened drinks vs. site says I can have slim fast drinks (which are full of sugar)

book says plain non-fat yogurt vs. site says I can have flavored yogurts like yoplait

and some of the recipes you look up in the phase I section include meats - which you are not supposed to have in detox.

I'm still debating on whether to keep the membership on their site or not- I know there are free sites to log my food intake and I have this forum full of great supportive people to help keep me on track with things. I don't really see where I need it but I wasn't sure if it was something I would need to get me started on the program. I doubt I will get my money back - so I will probably have to stick it out for the 3months that I originally signed up for it but I seriously doubt I will renew it. The forums there are ridiculous - you should see all of the angry folks that have paid for the site and have found very little assistance with the program or the site. <

I joined once for the free trial and on the detox it said frozen Swedish meatballs?? I cancelled.

Honestly, I was dumbfounded by the book! LOL. It seems that Dr. Ian wrote it over a long weekend. The Extreme book is much more comprehensive in making his point.

I just ate fruit, vegetables, plain yogurt, milk, and real oatmeal. Even here I read people doing things that I didn't think I should do according to the book. I didn't touch coffee, I gave up meat (except for 1 cheat) and my Crystal Light and other sugar free drink mixes, diet soda, etc.

cmichele - which version (FS or EFS) has helped you more with your weight loss? I have alot to lose so the site said I should stick with the FS version but the EFS looked more appealing to me.
