About this ebook

The diet that works faster and forever!

SUPER SHRED

Using the same principles—meal spacing, snacking, meal replacement and diet confusion—that made his SHRED a major #1 bestseller—Dr. Ian K. Smith has developed what dieters told him they needed: a quick-acting plan that is safe and easy to follow at home, at work, or on the road.

SUPER SHRED

It's a program with four week-long cycles:

--Foundation, when you'll eat four meals and three snacks a day, start shedding pounds and set yourself up for success

--Accelerate, when you'll kick it up and speed up weight loss

--Shape, the toughest week in the program, and the one that will get your body back by keeping it guessing

--Tenacious, a final sprint that cements your improved eating habits and melts off those last stubborn pounds

The SHRED system never leaves you hungry. It's a completely new way to lose weight, stay slender, and feel fantastic about your body, mind and spirit!

Includes more than 50 all-new recipes for meal replacing smoothies and soups!

Ratings and reviews

Jan Christian Chavez-Kortlang, this is not lies and more lies, and is not physiologically impossible to lose 20lbs of fat in a month. During the winter, I walk around 226lbs @ 5' 11". Three times in my life have I ever gone through a 1 month challenge to see who looses the most weight. In 30 days, I went from 226lbs to 202lbs. This included 1 hour gym work out 5x's per week (15 minutes intense cardio; 45 minutes weight training). My diet included vegetables, sweet potatoes, coffee, tea, muffins, very little fruits, and lean protein; and it worked for me every time. Yes, you do loose body and muscle mass, but the protein and weight training will help off-set the mass amounts of loss that can occur. I think you should actually try to loose 20lbs of weight in 1 month, rather that voicing your theoretical knowledge.

I was always hungry, especially trying to work a workout in between the restricted calories, which made me want to binge. But I did lose weight the first week. I did get good ideas on snacks that don't make me feel deprived. It is also a good base for people who are new to spacing out meals and snacks. I wasn't. Just not for me. I do think I'll still intersperse some of these meal plans into my plan just to mix things up.

I don't usually "diet" because I try and eat right since losing 30 lbs on my own by changing my eating habits and working out. But I wanted to take the challenge to see if it works and to drop these stubborn 10 lbs I have been trying to shed. I lost 21 lbs by following the book. I works but you must do it exactly as it says. Exercise and all.!
