I didn't Make it Through Detox Day 1

After researching the Fat Smach Diet, I decided to give it a shot to respark my weight loss. It made sense and it sounded pretty sensible to me. I loaded up on fruits and vegetables at the store and was ready to get started.

Being a complete carb addict (though now accustomed to eating good quality carbs,) I knew it would be tough for me to get started, but I was motivated by the huge weight losses seen on Celebrity Fit Club.

My Day:

9 AM - Ate plain unsweeted yogurt with fresh mixed berries.

9:30 AM - My face felt tight like I was having acute sinus pain. I took some motrin and ate a banana for a snack.

11 AM - The headache I had was overwhleming and I could not concentrate. I felt weak. I had a lot of work to get done, but thought if I rested it would help, so I laid down.

12-1 PM - Took a short nap to try to sleep off the headache.

1 PM - Ate a bowl of oatmeal and took some more motrin. Still not feeling well. My head felt like a balloon.

2:30 PM - I finally went out and got a 6-inch Subway sub. It was very satisfying and immediately made me feel better. I was able to finish my work and continue on with me day as usual. But so ends my trial of the Detox Phase.

I'm not sure if I am just wired differently, but I do not function well without carbs. So the best bet for me is to stick to everything in moderation and do my best at making better food choices.

Does Fat Smash Diet Assure Success?

If all you had was a little yogurt, berries, a banana, and a bowl of oatmeal from whenever you had dinner the night before and 2pm I think your headache and lack of energy was hunger related. All of that is probably less than 400 calories which is only a fraction of the calories you need to survive if you're in bed all day! I think the Detox part of the diet allows you to eat until you're full but not stuffed, as long as it's fresh fruits and veggies (and a few other "allowed" items). I'd give it another try if I were and eat more of what's allowed.
