Dr. Ian demands big results from his diet plans: whether on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club, State Farm's 50 Million Pound Challenge or his numerous inspirational appearances across the country, his advice has helped countless numbers of dieters lose millions of pounds.

With over twenty years of experience watching how and why dieters lose weight—and how they don't—Dr. Ian developed a program that actually retrains the brain to diet naturally. In The 4 Day Diet, Dr. Ian distills that program into the acronym SMARTER:

--Sense of where you are: don't fool yourself about your habits and what kind of shape you're in
--Make realistic goals: don't sabotage your success by trying to do too much too fast
--Activate your motivational engine: learn how to be your own best diet coach
--Resist temptation: how to put yourself in an environment that supports your diet and keeps you disciplined
--Think thin: why visualization works
--Every bite counts: track your intake, but learn how to enjoy what you eat more at the same time
--Reward yourself: indulge yourself in small and big ways along the road to permanent weight loss

good book part 2

Apparently I missed the reference guide that came with the book. Customer service sent me an email letting me know that I missed it. I'm much happier now!

Just so so

There nothing in the book that someone else has not written....

Actually workd!

This is a great diet because the food keeps rotating. You don't get bored and want to quit. I have been on it for three weeks and lose 12 pounds without feeling like I was dieting.

Its okay

I like the fat smash so much better i lost 12 lbs with in 2 wks following the fat smash diet... i think this is about the same...

Buy book instead

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Specific details of the diet plan should have been readily available. The narration was fine and even enthusiastic but what foods are allowed and what foods aren't were not even stated. Instead, The listener was referred to another source for that info. In the end I had to go o the bookstore to look over the diet plan itself.

What could Ian K. Smith have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

State the important information of what is allowed and emphatic is not.

Would you be willing to try another one of Ian K. Smith’s performances?

Probably not.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Clear and enthusiastic narration.
