Celebrities like Chastity Bono, Tempestt Bledsoe, Kelly LeBrock and Young MC have all shed their spare time with Dr. Smith's common-sense method to losing weight.

There are no quick fixes. Instead his goal is to help individuals makelasting changes that will be followed for life. Using a four-phase approach,the Fat Smash Diet follows the dieter through relevant changes. Thefirst phase is the detox.

For nine days, the diet is almost all fruits and vegetables.In doing so, the body is cleansed of all the toxins that have built up inthe system. You will eat four to five nutrient-rich meals each day. There isalso a psychological component where people are told to decrease the levelsof stress in their lives. Phase one is the most difficult part of the FatSmash Diet.

Phase 2, The Foundation, teaches dieters to "smash" their bad habits andcreate healthier behaviors in the interim. The name of the game is alwaysthe same -- do not overeat, load up on fruits and vegetables, do not skip
meals and continue to stay active.
