I got the book today. I was impressed that the author gets right to the point and doesn't waste time on lots of scientific talk. It's refreshing in a diet book.
Hi,
I am starting Smash Fat in the morning (May 10th). My friend is in phase three. She had caffeine withdrawl headaches, but said it is still worth it. Her weight loss has been encouraging. I drink a lot of diet soda, but I am up for the challenge if this weight will come off. Let me know how you are doing.
Added on evening of May 10th-Don't have a caffeine headache so far. Would love to weigh myself in the next 8 days, but I the book says not to weigh yourself until phase 2.
I am on day 5 of phase 1 (detox). I did get a horrible caffeine withdrawl headache the morning of day 3. I took one excedrin migraine and have had no problem with the lack of caffeine since. I can't wait to weigh in this Friday. Good luck!!!
Dear VirgoGirl,
Further into the book he talks about when you screw up. It not about punishment, it is about forgiveness. I also liked when he said, "If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself". Don't be so hard on yourself, you can do it.
going pretty good, have been to busy to write and change my tracker, but will weigh myself and change tracker soon, school ends this week, and clothes are looser!!!!!!!!
I don't know anything about this diet, but just wanted to add, Excedrin Migrane has Caffenine in it, so if you are trying to avoid that, just for a FYI.
I started this diet on Friday, June 2 so today is my 5th day. So far so good. I do have to admit that I cheated the second day and had some wine. It's going to be tough for me to give up alcohol. Don't know how that's going to affect my weight loss, hopefully, not very much. I miss eating meat but I like the way I feel. I have more energy, I don't feel so stuffed and I feel lighter. I've tried all sorts of stuff to lose weight (as you can see from my profile) but this is the only "diet" that I've ever been able to stick with for more than 3 days and still be satisified with what I can/can't eat. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. Good Luck!
Day 10 finally arrived. I made it through the detox phase and I lost a total of 8 lbs over 9 days. I feel really good. Day 9 was especially hard. I went to a party and I gave in on the alcohol. :-( I'll try to do better on that end during Phase 2. My goal for detox was 10 lbs but I didn't quite make it. But, all is well. Phase 2, here I come!!!!
