Jackee's Fat smash diet Journey

Ok its Monday Labor Day September 4th. I started my Smash Diet today. I got the book on Saturday and read it thoroughly. Im so ready! I am going to let you follow me through all 5 phases.

If you are not familiar with Dr. Ian Smith or his philosophy on weight lose. Click here to see his website. http://fatsmashdiet.com/bio.htm

Phase 1 is the detox. Basically 9 days of unlimited fruit and raw or steamed veggies. I went to farmers market and got all my meals ready for the week. I was happy to see I was allowed some low fat yogurt and soy milk so I could make smoothies. I will absolutely miss my cereal and sushi. Dr. Ian Smith actually makes it a point to says no avocados :( bye bye dragon rolls.

Being I was off today it was really hard not to wake up and grab a bowl of cereal. I had a smoothie instead. It was a beautiful day so I went rollerblading at the park for 40 minutes. I also did 1 hour and 20 minutes of power walking. Later in the day followed by chasing my friends dog around so I got my 30 minutes of physical activity done and then some. This works out well being as tomorrow I work both jobs which will have me working 9am -11PM… or later. I get 2 days exercise free during detox. I’m going to use tomorrow as my first one. Today is my only day off this week. So I am trying not to burn myself out completely. My 9-5 is behind a desk. My part time job has me on my feet all night so it’s a good balance. This week I work a total of 58 hours without my commute so I will have to do some at home workouts.

I will not be weighing or measuring myself again till detox is over.

As of 7AM today I weigh 132. (Im 4.11 that’s horrible!)

Height 4.11

Age 34

Sex F

Measurements:

bust 40

waist 33.5

hips 36.5

I love my fruit and veggies and the smoothies kept me full for a while but its expensive eating this healthy.

I wont be working out tomorrow at all. i will have to do a really good workout on monday because Tues and Wed next week i work 9am- midnite.

total water -5 twenty five oz glasses

Physical activity- jogged 2.5 miles. 20 minutes stairmaster. I really hurting today. workout was horrible. Im on Empty. plus i can add vacuuming, cleaning house, mopping floor, laundry and foodshopping. DR says thats a form of exercise lol

I must say IM not used to not counting calories. I have been burning about 300 on most heavy physical activity days. I cant imagine IM taking in more than 900 so that's got to be good right??? I cant wait to weigh myself. I hope IM not disappointed. My cat wants to know where the chicken is? she loves to watch me stirfry chicken. she has had nothing to beg for. LOL

comments- I don't work my FT job on the weekends. I will be at the restuarant tonight from 5- whenever. I need to have most my meals before 5 and I need to take time to snack on some veggies at work tonight.

All in all my journey so far has not been to bad. Im not starving myself and my cravings are few.

tomorrow- I had a dilemma because it was my friends Bday and a few of us were going out to eat. I searched the menus high and low and its hard to find a place that has raw or steamed veggies. I came up with a solution. I recommended going to the comedy club tomorrow. there is a 2 item minimum. I will get my bottle of water and use the other item to but Bday girl a drink. this way everyone can eat and its not so weird that I dont join in. I will be watching the show. I don't have to feel uncomfortable about sitting at a restaurant with my friends and not eating. It should be fun. IM glad it worked out.

DAY 7 ( I didnt think i would make it to a week without cheating. Im so proud of myself!)

comments: Im working real late but I will try get up early and take after picture and post to website. I have a before one that i will post along with it. Ill be sure to wear same thing. I will post weight and measurements for sure. Still so many foods not allowed in phase 2 but I went this far on fruit and veggies how bad can it be? I think I will detox once every 5 weeks for 5 days if this works out for me. Once i get my phases down.

damn did I mention I was sick. ahhhcccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooo!

OK THE WEIGH IN!

WAS 132 LBS

NOW 126 LBS

I lost 6 lbs in my 9 day detox!

I have b4 and after pic's in an unflattering sweat suit but the lighting is different being its midnite. theres a lil difference in my hips and butt. my breasts too unfortunately lol

Sunday, Sept, 23 UGH!I am a little bummed out because I woke up and weighed myself to find out i gained 2 of my pounds back. I have been in phase 2 for 5 days. i still have been eating my fruit and veggies. Mainly fruit. I did have Special K with slim milk instead of smoothie on one day and last night I had a sweet potato for dinner with smartbeat. the first 2 days i was so sick i had soup that was low in fat but high in sodium. it was much needed on the account of how sick I was. I think the soup and lack of workout helped me gain back the 2 pounds. I am still sick but I feel better than I have all week. after weighing myself i made a smoothie and took a brisk walk at park for about an hour. I really need to rest up today and get myself ready for work tomorrow. outside of washing alll my bedding...again and vacumming I am going to be just relaxing today. I made my lunch already. giant bowl of all my favorite fruits cut up w/ half an avacado. For dinner i will have eggwhites to keep it light. Outside of the soup and no workout these last few days i have followed Phase 2. Im hoping the two combined was my downfall. If anyone had any Phase 2 stories they would like to share please email me.

Have a great day out there! xoxox Jackee

Monday, Sept 18 OK Im a 127 Lbs. I lost one on the pounds I gained back :)

i had fruits and veggies last 2 days. I did replace my lunch with sushi one day. i had half the serving I normally have. also i had salad with a few pieces of grilled chicken yesterday with fruit for dinner and smoothie for breakfast. I have been crazving salty foods. like pretzels. i know i can have pretzels to stage 3 which is a while away. i have faith in Dr and diet regimin but wonder who i will keep weight off in stage 3. there are some of my favorite things on the YES list for that phase. I also see he wants workouts stepped up. Unfortunately with both jobs I dont have the extra time. I still workout out but more than 3x a week is very hard for me. I went jogging before work and today is a long day. I work from 5:30-11 tonight @ the bar and i work here till 5. I was jogging at 6:30Am. you do the math. by Thursday it will all catch up with me. At least i have off Thursday night so I can watch the Office primiere! I love that show!

Ok Fatsmashers....keep those emails coming! MUUUAH

Thursday Sept 21 Im a 124 Lbs. I lost another 3 pounds. Original weight on Sept 5th was 132. Thats 8 Lbs total. Being I am so short (4.11) My goal weight is 115.

total 17 pounds. I need to maintain current weight and lose addtional 8. Im going to take new pictures because i see my waist is thinner :)

they should be up by tomorrow.

Update- Feb 16th- I have since had a biopsy that showed i have NAFTD. non alcholic fatter liver disease. all self inflicted. also my gallbladder showed up compounded as if i had a large meal even though i had fasted 13 hours before my test. after more treatments and tests i now learn my Gallbladder most be removed. It is leaking into my liver! I now go back to following a much safer way of life and a healthier way of eating. for example you cant completely cut out all white foods. although salt sugars and starts are not flattering to figure some fats are much needed for your body to function.

so please....

if you are doing the fat smash diet or any other fad diets... don't cut foods out for good just minimize them If you have this book be sure you follow phases as designed unlike me. I learned the hard way & I don't want to sugar coat it for you. feel free to email me any questions

update- had gallbladder out 3/5. recovery was painful. weeks later im almost 100% again. thank goodness. :)

Im almost back to goal weight doing it right this time. smaller portions. more fiber so i feel hungry. fruits, veggies, chicken, fish and even ice cream. Plenty of physical activity and still avoiding most (not all) white foods. it took me twice as long to take off but its off the right way!
