Book Reviews of The 4 Day Diet

Book Review: Not practical
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this book on my kindle because it got such high reviews, but I was disappointed. I'm irritated that I spent the weekend reading it. DO NOT GET THIS FOR THE KINDLE! You need to do a lot of writing, and flipping back which is difficult to do electronically. 50% of the book is motivational, prioritizing, "mental" get ready type stuff. Which is fine, but nothing new. Then you get to the diet and it's 4 Day blocks of time x 5. You'd have to keep this up for a long time all the while eating food that is not at restaurants and isn't family friendly. I'm certain you'd loose a lot of weight. I'm also certain that it's doable for a short period of time, but over-all, not a lifestyle diet in my opinion.

Summary of The 4 Day Diet

Dr. Ian Smith's diets really work. America has lost millions of pounds following his Fat Smash and Extreme Fat Smash diets.? Now, in The 4 Day Diet, Smith has developed a program that allows readers to avoid the normal (and fatal) pitfalls of dieting: boredom, no treats allowed, too much repetition, plateauing.? The 4 Day Diet is an ingenious program of dieting modules lasting only four days each:

Induction (detox/cleansing)
Transition (to reintroduce all food groups)
Protein Stretch (to avoid plateaus)
Smooth (when you can have some formerly forbidden foods like pizza and French fries)
Push (the sprint just before the final stretch, back to a stricter eating plan)
Pace (a comfortable module for you to catch your breath)
Vigorous (the final module to lose those last few pounds)

You can follow The 4 Day Diet straight through for a month for stunning results. But Smith also designed The 4 Day Diet so you can customize your own program. After the first two modules, you can do the remaining 5 in whichever order suits your schedule or preferences or you can repeat the modules you like best.? It also features over sixty delicious recipes for breakfasts, lunches and dinners and a complete snack list-food that will make you forget you're on a diet.

Full of Ian Smith's motivating tips and tricks and his smart, sensible eating advice that really works to take weight off fast, The 4 Day Diet is a diet you'll be able to stick to, have success on, and even enjoy!
