The FAT SMASH DIET Philosophy

Diets don’t fail people, rather people fail diets. The FAT SMASH Diet is a program that will never fail you if you open your mind to the great possibilities, believe in yourself, and give a full commitment. FAT SMASH is purposely designed to be a forgiving program that is as much about helping people make the necessary lifestyle changes to lead a healthier, happier, and longer life, as it is about getting rid of all of the extra weight that only increases your odds of developing devastating medical complications such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. I’m a realist. Most people have a difficult time following diets to the letter of the law, slipping every once in a while when they can’t resist the urges or when they’ve reached a plateau and feel like the weight is no longer coming off. FAT SMASH understands this and allows you to dial back into the program, by returning to phase I, getting back on course, then resuming the program where you left off.

FAT SMASH is specifically designed to be a 90-day program with four phases that will ultimately re-wire your body and its relationship to food and physical activity for the rest of your life. At the end of the 90 days, you will have made small, but important adjustments not only in your food consumption, but your understanding and attitude towards food and the way you view the importance of physical activity in maintaining a healthy life. Each phase builds upon the previous phase like the levels of a pyramid that support the ones above it. The foundation and its integrity are what allow the peak to stand, so you must be careful in constructing the building blocks so that they might be as strong as possible to allow you to reach the top of your goals.

I have been shocked reading many diet books that say exercising is unnecessary or it’s optional based on a dieter’s preferences. The reason why I’m dumbfounded to read this is because one of the major reasons why so many people are overweight and obese and dying from preventable medical conditions such as heart disease is largely because we have become too sedentary of a society! There are numerous studies from the best researchers in the world that continuously show how important being physically active is not just for losing weight, but becoming healthier and protecting things like our blood vessels.

Studies also show that those who incorporate a regular exercise program in their schedule will not only lose more weight faster, but will keep it off for longer periods of time. The problem that most people have is that they associate exercising with going to the gym and killing themselves for two hours, then dragging themselves home exhausted. That’s not the exercise I’m talking about. Let’s be realistic. It’s not like you’re training to be an Olympic gold medalist, right? What you need is a regular program of physical activity that will keep your heart rate up and your lungs working. This will also help with toning your muscles and keeping your joints active to help prevent certain illnesses like the dreaded arthritis. So for each phase I give you very simple exercise suggestions to help you on your journey of becoming healthier and slimmer. Choose those exercises that you like and try to find a partner who is willing to do it with you. Studies have also shown that those who are most successful at losing weight have some type of support system in place such as a weight-loss partner.

FAT SMASH is about smashing the bad habits and demons of the past and constructing a new and improved you now ready to take on new challenges and passions while fully enjoying the gift of life. This is a plan that will help people trying to lose just 10 pounds as well as people trying to lose 200 pounds. I’m extremely proud of this program because it teaches the correct principles of eating healthy, but not to be afraid of having a slice of cake or chocolate chip cookies every now and again. Almost everything in life is about finding a balance and doing things in moderation. These are the underlying principles of THE FAT SMASH DIET.
