I’ve completed the first 4 days of Dr Ian K. Smith’s 4 day diet, induction period. I’m now doing the four day transition module.
After the first 4 days, my weight was about the same. That hasn’t discouraged me. At the start of day 3 it looked like I was down 3 pounds but then today my weight is the same (I don’t have a digital scale so it looks ‘about’ the same on my dial scale). I know the body can vary within 5 pounds and I’ve eaten a lot of fruit and vegetables in the last 4 days and so I am feeling a bit bloated.
I am looking forward to eating some meat today but am not really missing junk food all that much. I am, however, extremely gassy due to all the beans and cabbage soup I’ve eaten. I also haven’t gotten the recommended 3 x 40 minute cardio sessions in during the last few days, either so I’m sure that has slowed my progress a little.
Anyway, I’m forging forward with the plan so I can attempt to hit my goal weight (a 25-30 pound loss) within 3 or 4 months. I’ll post about each module as I complete them. The 4 day diet consists of 7 modules:
Induction
Transition
Protein
Smooth
Push
Pace
Vigorous
