I've decided to do a 9 day detox which is the first part of the 'Fat Smash' diet. I don't have the actual book, but I got the detox diet out of my mom's woman's weekly magazine. It was also the diet used on that celebrity fit challenge show. It's totally veg friendly and involves eating 5 mini meals a day, no caffeine, alcohol, sugar (except in fruit) or wheat. You do eat oatmeal, raw fruits and veggies, brown rice, tofu, a bit of EVOO, soy sauce, beans, legumes and soymilk. It's even vegan if you don't choose the yogurt option.

I know it's healthy- mostly whole foods, spreading meals out and reducing portion sizes. I'm done day one and I feel wonderful. I didn't put any crap in my body today. What I'm wondering is has anyone else done this detox or the diet?

Are you still on it? How is it going?

Sounds interesting....

I think it would be interesting to count the calories in order to see how much you are eating calorie-wise.

I did the detox for 6 days, then I threw a housewarming party and had to indulge in my own vegan delights (hummus, pita, dolmades, onion dip, wine etc.) I am going back on again for about 7 days.

The plan calls for 9 days straight, I'm just taking some liberties with that.

I feel fantastic, I feel a little more toned, more energy, and I haven't felt hungry. In fact, it's a pain to have to eat that often.

ETA:

I just put a days worth of food into fit day. It worked out to about 1212 cals, but I didn't put in the dressing on the salad which would bump it up a tiny bit/

For my size, that's perfect for weight loss. (I'm not a huge gal).

On the days that I dance, I throw another piece of fruit in and maybe a bit of hummus and pita.

The sample day is:

Meal 1- cup of oatmeal, dash of cinnamon, piece of fruit, cup of soymilk.

Meal 2- 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 cup of steamed broccoli, some braggs, a pear.

Meal 3- 3 cups of mixed greens, 1/2 cup of chickpeas, 1 tbs lite dressing (I actually use annies goddess dressing.)

Meal 4- 1 cup lentil soup, some baby carrots

Meal 5- Smoothie (1 cup frozen fruit, 1/2 cup soy milk, 1 tbs flaxseeds.

It wouldnt surprise me that you would loose weight-- you would be eliminating all or most of the evils of the Killer Westren Diet. Sugar, liquor, white milled wheat, and "pigging out"-- I also think that detox and fasting are good ways to re-set your body-- some disagree though.

It sounds like my normal diet, as far as what you eat on this 'detox'...well, except for my weekend beer habit

It wasn't that much of a change in terms of foods eaten. I had everything on hand in my house. The hardest part was eating small portions often and not having any non herbal tea.

It was a pain to carry around that much food to work, since I normally work from 9 am -7 or 7:30 PM, it meat bringing 4 meals with me to work.
