The Fat Smash Diet is the book-length version of the nutrition and fitness regimen that Dr. Ian K. Smith has used to widespread acclaim on VH1’s weight loss reality show, Celebrity Fit Club. In the book, Smith outlines a simple but rigorous weight loss plan. Dr. Smith avoids delving into the emotional complexities that many other experts regard as the chief component of weight problems and instead emphasizes the physical mechanics and bodily processes that have been consistently linked to successful weight loss efforts, both in scholarly research and in Smith’s experiences working with a diverse range of clients.
Smith’s Fat Smash Diet plan proceeds in four distinct, but interrelated phases that are designed to carry the reader through not only the initial weight loss, but also through a lifetime of weight maintenance and nutrition and exercise habits. The plan is geared to be flexible and adaptable. As such, Dr. Smith has included some latitude for social situations and stressful times that may impede one’s ability to adhere to a healthy fitness and nutrition program. If a person who has reached the maintenance phase of the plan regresses, slips up, or otherwise regains weight, Dr. Smith recommends returning to the first phase of the diet for a 10-day period of rehabilitation. This unusual level of flexibility distinguishes the Fat Smash Diet from other weight loss plans, and positions individuals using this approach to develop the skills and strategies that may be necessary to achieve and maintain weight loss in the long-term.
