The Fat Smash Diet – Phase One Foods

29 Jan

Posted by Suburban Grandma in Health, Life, Tips

As I mentioned to you in my previous post about the Fat Smash Diet, there are 4 different Phases you go through during this program, and each phase has a list of suggested and excluded foods.

Some of the excluded foods in one phase are being introduced back into your diet in the next phase, so for ideal success, you need to follow these food suggestions, eat 3-4 smaller meals per day, follow the same eating schedule, and continue to exercise.

Just think, this phase is only 9 days long….you can do it!!

It is so worth it.

It is definitely a nice and easy way to cleanse your system from ingested impurities.
I love it, and highly recommend it.
I love your Buddhist Temple website.

Almost everyone talks about a low fat diet, I am convinced fruits and vegetables are important to any diet, but not sure giving up fats is all that helpful.

Thank you for posting this information. I did this diet a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it and had some success. Unfortunately, I sort of fell off the wagon after the weight loss. Ready to start eating healthy again!

Im on a similar diet right now. It’s not to lose weight, but it does have that effect. I have fatigue problems and have used detox diets in the past to increase energy. Right now i’m using a lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic drink. I tastes as bad as it sounds

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind the ‘no coffee’ portion of Phase 1? It’s the one thing I can’t give up!
Suburban Grandma

February 10th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
18

That is true. Anyone who loves their coffee or alcohol would have to first wean themselves off these drinks, then begin this Fat Smash Diet. I checked their website and here is their reasoning behind no coffee or alcohol during the Detox period of 9 days, after which time you do get a cup of coffee per day.

“The diet is designed to rid the body of toxins from processed foods and the environment, including the elimination of caffeine and alcohol, to make it easier to lose weight.”

I hope this helps.

Sounds like you are realizing your dreams. Great start!
If you can live without coffee and alcohol for 2 weeks, then you will do well.
You will definitely feel so much better, and learn to make healthier food choices.
I am wishing you a successful beginning, and determination to complete all the phases.

Interesting take – different ideas on nutrition for getting lean are always stimulating. Personally i’m a proponent of the paleo school of thought. Although as my nutrition is evolving I’m moving towards accepting limited grains like rice into the diet.

I thought that you couldn’t have some items on the snack list in the phase 1, such as nuts, jello and crackers.

Hello, I have the Book and I am still trying to find where you can have jello and crackers in the first phase. Could you please tell me in the book where I can find that as I have completed the first phase sucessfully 3 times, but I tell you it would have been much easier if I had crackers and jello.

I have a question. when starting Phase II and adding meats….Am I reading this correctly…You can only have 1 item from the MEAT section a day. And also 1 from the seafood section and 1 from eggs, and 1 from Milk & Cheese Section. OR are you only allowed one from any of those sections a day? per say if you chose to have 1 whole egg you cannot have any other food from the Meats, Seafood, Milk & Cheese per day.
Suburban Grandma

March 20th, 2012 at 9:53 pm

You can have ONE SERVING from each group per day. So your first suggestion is correct (the remaining ones are incorrect).
How do you like this diet so far? Are you feeling better, learning to eat healthier and in smaller, but more frequent portions? Thank you for the comments.

I am loving it. Best diet I have ever been on with REAL food…..I am 2 weeks into Phase II and already have lost 15 lbs. since I began. 7lbs during Detox and 8 already in Phase II…I am never hungry. I am walking 3x a day on a treadmill with 10-15 minutes each walk. I feel GREAT! Thanks so much for answering my questions.

But I am like the lady above I can’t find in the book or website concerning Jello and crackers. Those would be a wonderful addition ot TREAT if you will.

If you have access to the book which I have posted the front cover of, you will find the Jell-O Smoothie snacks and Saltine crackers, as snack foods, listed on page 143.

yes jello and crackers are in the back of the book as snacks, but you clearly can’t have them in the first phase. I was just wondering if I overlooked something.

In the book I have, page 143, on top of this page listed as snacks for Phase I (Roman Numeral ONE), lists Jell-O Smoothie snacks (1 snack), and 6th line down on this page, also Phase I, lists Saltine crackers (7).
Do you have the same book?

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY
fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few
things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are
trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you
cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

An interesting approach to detox and burn fat. Would be quite mentally challenging though, but always worth the hard work for the results at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing!
Suburban Grandma

For me, it was perfect, since I’m not a coffee drinker, and do not use alcohol that much, so the adjustment was very simple.
I could see how challenging it could be for others, but if “there is a will, there is a way”.

Can I use Butter Bud sprinkles during phase 1? Also can I use vanilla extract to flavor plain yogurt and oatmeal?
Suburban Grandma

July 31st, 2012 at 10:09 pm
51

I would think Butter Bud sprinkles would be fine, sine during this phase you are allowed some butter, which has more fat contents than the Butter Bud sprinkles. Also vanilla extract should be fine, as it does not have a sweetener or fat.
Good luck with your healthful eating!!

On the Phase 1 portion of this diet can you have Farro. Does anyone Know?
Suburban Grandma

August 9th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
53

I always get so excited when I hear from people who are following the Fat Smash Diet (my favorite).
I had to look up Farro, and it looks similar to Whole Wheat and Barley. I would be quick to say that it should be allowed, since Oatmeal and Brown Rice are allowed. However, it sounds like it requires quite a long preparation time, due to the hard grain shell, thus recommended to be soaked overnight to soften it before cooking.
Good luck with it!!

I am on day 4 of the detox portion of the Fat Smash Diet, thank goodness. My experience has been that the first three days of a diet are the hardest. I am a coffee addict. I did have to have about 2 swallows of coffee each day. I have also felt very satisfied with the food. I hope I’m doing it right and not over eating. Thank you for your blog.
Suburban Grandma

It must be very difficult to do without coffee, if you are so used to having it on regular basis. Sounds like you cut down considerably, and that’s already better than what you were used to. If you read the foods allowed in future phases you will feel so much better about the whole diet, because you see a light at the end of the tunnel, and regular foods are slowly introduced back into your daily menu.
Portion control is important, because it prepares your system for managing the food you supply, without making you feel hungry.
I actually ate less than recommended since I was not feeling hungry, and eating 3 times per day, and having 2-3 snacks between meals, was more than I normally eat during the course of the day. You are doing great. Keep up the good work, and remember to stay active. My favorite exercise is walking, and I walk almost everyday during my lunch time. I followed this diet back in January, and have not gained back any of the weight I lost then, and I am not totally avoiding all the “bad” foods on that list….but do watch my portions and stay active. Good Luck to you!!

Actually that list IS copied from the book I own, written by the doctor, unless there is another copy of that book with a different list.
What book do you have?

I’ve always referred back to your website over the years to review the list of allowed foods (I lost my book a few years ago). I know Dr. Smith updated the diet and released a new copy of the book so maybe that’s what the previous poster is referring to. I’m starting a new fat smash today I’ve done 5 or 6 solid fat smashes over the years with great success. I stick to this version of the diet (The Original, I believe), just because I’ve had a lot of success with it in the past.

Thank you so much for your input. I believe you are correct, since some of my readers feel that I have altered the list of foods, but I am really just summarizing the list directly from the version of the book I own. Just like you, I followed this diet regimen as posted in all the phases in my posts, and had great results, without too much sacrifice. I feel the first two weeks of detox are the toughest, and after that this program is very “user friendly”.
Stay healthy and fit.

I am starting phase I tomorrow! I did a 12 day phase I in 2010, and then about 6 months of an altered phase 2/3. It worked amazingly! Just now feel the need to re-kick the wheels. I hope I can keep it up like my last go round! Thanks for the refresher rules…. And I love to hear people comment on their progress!

Yeay for you!!!!
I know you can do it, since you already did it before and know what to expect. I am actually thinking about doing the detox, just to jump start the system again and have a good excuse to stay away from the foods that are not so healthy to consume in the first place. Keep us posted and good luck!

February 17th, 2013 at 6:26 pm

You are correct in the listing of the food list but it does say on the top of page 142 “Choose the snack that fits the phase you’re currently in” therefore unless its veggie/fruit/yougurt it’s not phase 1. Also…even though I wish it were true…no cheese on phase 1 (page 22)

Good luck all!
Suburban Grandma

February 17th, 2013 at 6:44 pm

The list of snacks allowed, in The Fat Smash Diet book,did not group them by phases, but rather designated the proper phase to each snack on the lists. I separated all these snacks into phases, creating a separate list of all the allowed snacks, for each phase.
I don’t know what book you are looking at, but the one I have lists LOW FAT cheese 1 1/2 slice as ALLOWED food in PHASE I.

I was totally confused about your list of phase 1 foods since it is totally different from what is in my book. I originally purchased my book in 2007, and it has since been revised. I did a little google search, and there have been many foods added to phase 1 that were once not allowed. I just don’t see how it would be considered a detox now that so many processed foods are now allowed. I will probably continue doing phase 1 the original way, even though the new foods are tempting. Thanks for the great site

I purchased my book in Jan. 2008, and followed this diet twice already, just the way it was printed, and posted, and it worked for me.
I plan to do it again later on this spring, and agree with you, I will not change anything. Actually I did not even eat all of the foods he has listed.
I have not seen any new updates, and actually am not interested in any, as this diet worked perfectly for me the way it is.
Thank you for stopping by and for your comments.

Everyone needs to create their own meal plan, since not everyone likes the same foods.
I used lots of brown rice, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, water, oatmeal…
If you read the full article, and check out the other list of posts below it, you will see links to the other phases posted.

I just completed phase 1 Detox on May 11, 2013. For the detox the only information I used was on page 21-22 of the book. For detox i opted not to use the info on page 143 regarding the snacks. That was just my choice. Anyways, Exercising everyday for 1 hour my weight was 238 pounds on day 1. I weighed myself on day 10 and my weight was down to 224.5 pounds. So when Dr. Smith says on the cover of the book, “Start seeing big results in 9 days”, he’s exactly right ! So I encourage anyone to discipline themselves for 9 days, and you will see results.
