I am kicking myself for not buying it. The latest issue has a story with Dr. Ian Smith and he has a little change in the detox. Kathy

Kathy, say more! Is this magazine called First Magazine? I have never heard of it!!

It is at the check out stands at the market or Walgreens. The title is First. I read part of the article and it seems he extends detox but was unable to determine if it was from the original or extreme. As I said I did not buy it. Now I want to go back out.

Does he have a website, maybe the info is there.

What happened to his website I checked both fatsmash.com and fatsmashdiet.com and both are domain parking pages, not real websites. He used to have a free website, though the info there was limited.

Now he has a pay site at www.celebrityfitclub.com

Hey There, I actually have that FIRST article, just read it yesterday and it made me decide to do the plan. From what I see it is a modified version of the EFS Plan, Here goes:

LOSE 32 LBS BY THANKSGIVING (NOV 12 ISSUE)

Each Day Enjoy:
- 5 or more servings of fruits and veggies(Avoid pineapples, bananas, watermelon. These can elevate nlood sugar and force the liver and pancreas to divert their attention to regulating blood sugar rather than detoxing the body)

This four week plan can be repeated until you reach your doal. But if detoxifying isnt an option during the holidays, Dr. Smith recommends continueing to eat small meals (the size of a salad plate minus 1 inch around outside)every 3 hours and two or three snacks daily. If your weight slips, detox for 1 week to get back on track.

He also gave a few excercise suggestions for each phase if you want em let me know. Hope this helps! Now I have typers cramp! LOL

Wow, thanks for typing all of that information out! I'd love to get the excercise suggestions for each phase if you have time. I was needing a new plan to start on Monday, I'm going to try this.

THANK YOU!

Wow that looks like something I can actually do I've never been able to stick to fat smash but that looks do able. Thanks for sharing!

LOL - I came here this morning because of this article too - but what I'm seeing in the article seems to be quite different from what I'm seeing other people talking about in the 'regular' diet.

omg.. me too Sueg. I was thinking.. I would try this, just to see if it works, and if it doesnt it certainly cant hurt. This plan in the mag seems quite a bit different then what I am reading here. So I am contemplating getting the EFS book, but my problem is I cant ever find it.

well -- i'm a newbie here -- bought the magazine and decided to try this out. i bought the "extreme fat smash book" today which has alot more info than the article.
so far so good -- i've made it through day one -- have a raging headache (probably from only having one cup of coffee) -- but i think this is doable. i'm actually not hungry.
we'll see what happens!

Hey Mommymezzo, the extreme fat smash is different from the one in the magazine, I am trying the magazine one out first and then maybe the extreme but the extreme takes away everything with substance..lol Like fish where as on the magazine one you can eat fish,chicken,eggs. I had a headache too the first 3 days but today seems ok. Ive been sneaking weigh ins and in 4days I have lost 4lbs

I bought the magazine just because of the EFS article. I started Fat Smash today and I put the EFS book on hold at the library. I felt like the article was too vague but of course he is not going to give you all the information then why buy the book. Let me know how it works I think I might like the EFS better!

i've finished day three of the EFS and so far, so good. i actually haven't weighed myself. i get really neurotic about the scale and so i am more concerned about the way i feel and how my clothes fit.
i'm glad i bought the book because the article was quite vague.
i know i feel better -- the first day was rough.
this just involves a TON of preparation -- which is ok.

well the book and the article are different. If Im not mistaken the book doesnt allow meat in the first phase and the article does. All it really boils down too is that you need to eat clean and smaller portions more frequently. There is no real science to it. I cant remember what day I am on, I think 6. anyways.. I have been losing a 1lb a day, mostly water I am sure, but I can live with that
