A Nutritionist Weighs in...
The Fat Smash Diet is very basic with few rules to follow. Phase one is rather restrictive, but it only lasts for nine days, and you will be able to add back many of the restricted foods as you go through the subsequent phases. Since there are very few details given about menus, you will be forced to use some initiative in following the food lists that are provided and figuring out the corresponding serving sizes. In addition, the diet does not offer much in the way of detailed guidelines or principles about healthy eating, which might make it difficult to stick with this plan and maintain healthy habits long term. Nonetheless, you will probably still lose some weight initially, since many foods will be eliminated from your diet.
You can add variety and quantity to your dinner plate, but you will need to bring it up a notch on the treadmill
After the first phase of the Fat Smash Diet, you are able to eat most foods (i.e., there are no severe restrictions which makes following the diet unbearable). However, you must eat four to five meals per day, which may be inconvenient for some people who have long days with very few breaks. Traveling may also be a challenge if you do not have frequent access to meals and snacks. Although your family will most likely not want to follow phase one with you, they can certainly eat the same food as you during the other phases.
