Synopsis
America has lost millions of pounds following Dr. Ian Smith's Fat Smash diets. Now, Smith has developed a program that allows readers to avoid the normal pitfalls of dieting: boredom, no treats allowed, too much repetition, plateauing. The 4 Day Diet is a program of four-day modules: Induction (detox/cleansing); Transition (to reintroduce all food groups); Protein Stretch (to avoid plateaus); Smooth (allowing some formerly forbidden foods like pizza and French fries); Push (the sprint just before the final stretch, back to a stricter eating plan); Pace (a comfortable module to catch your breath); and Vigorous (to lose those last few pounds). You can follow it straight through, or you can customize your own program. After the first two modules, you can do the remaining five in whichever order suits your schedule or preferences or you can repeat modules. Includes over sixty recipes and a snack list.--From publisher description.
Physician Ian K. Smith is well-known for the dieting advice he dispenses on the television program CELEBRITY FIT CLUB as well as for his appearance on such television programs as THE CBS EARLY SHOW and THE VIEW. Here Smith introduces his new diet plan: a series of interconnected "dieting modules" which can be customized to suit each dieter's needs. Smith contends that by working within the context of his seven modules, readers will be able to avoid such common dieting pitfalls as boredom and plateauing.
