Extreme Fat Smash Diet by Ian K. Smith (Paperback)

This is a great concept and it does work. I lost 4 pounds the first week. However, I'm not a lover of brown rice or beans and after the first week, I couldn't stomach anymore. Needless to say, I didn't stay on the diet. I wish there were alternatives for people who don't eat or can't eat brown rice and beans. If you love brown rice and beans, this is the diet for you, because you eat it every day all day. Other than that, I'd say he's right on point with this Extreme Fat Smash Diet.

Lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks claims the book. And after reviewing it, I believe it just might be possible. Written by the author of last year's "The Fat Smash Diet," the idea of this seems to be, if you want big results, you'll have to push yourself beyond normal limits to attain them. Once again, readers will find Dr. Smith's easy and friendly writing style. At the start of the book, you find out your "dieting type" and then quickly go from there. Since the book is set up for you to lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks, its organized in three 1 week cycles, which is 21 days. For each day, there is a menu plan (four meals a day) and a journal page you to write on. Know too that the exercise recommended each day is cardio. Other goodies include recipes, which easily make up about a third of the book, and a handy appendix ends the book (which contains useful info about BMI's, how to read food labels, etc.). All in all, I feel like this is a great book that is well laid out and very user friendly. One caveat though. Following the plan may not be easy at times, and the book will tell you this outright. Nonetheless, it should benefit many who struggle with their weight loss demons. Also suggest "The Sixty-Second Motivator" for readers who have trouble sticking with a weight loss plan.
