Dr Ian Smith's Super Shred Diet

Ever attempted to lose 10 kgs in four weeks and hit the jackpot? No? Here's a diet plan that helps you do just that! Welcome then the Super Shred Diet, a spanking new fad diet in 2017. It has been doing the rounds of gyms as well as nutritionists' and dieticians' blocks. The Super SHred Diet promises that the dieter can lose approximately 10kgs under a month and not even break sweat. Brainchild of the American medico, Dr Ian K Smith, the Super Shred Diet is a four-week übercharged program that shares s similar philosophy—meal spacing, snacking, meal replacement, and diet confusion—as the Shred Diet (combines a low GI diet, meal spacing, and meal replacements). However, with twice the intensity and a shorter quick-acting plan. It can be used on its own or combined with the Shred Diet.

Dr Smith opines that the success of the Super Shred system was based on the same precepts: a diet shouldn't baffle, a diet shouldn't be costly and a diet shouldn't be judgmental or lay on a thick coat of the guilt trip. According to the medical practioner, the Shred system never leaves you feeling perpetually starved. It's a whole different way to lose weight, stay slender, and feel fantastic about your body, mind and spirit. The four phases are:

Phase one: Foundation

This stage involves laying the foundations for the next four weeks. The dieter should eat about five small meals a day, which are consumed every three hours. Meal-spacing is particularly effective in maintaining one's blood sugar levels. Case in point if you eat a large meal, it tends to create a spike in your insulin levels which is not fun for your health.

Phase two: Accelerate

By week two, the dieter should be used to the five-meal daily routine. However, this time round, the dieter should try and substitute one meal a day with a smoothie, shake or soup.

Phase three: Shape

In the third round one's loss of weight actually becomes visible.

Phase four: Resolute

In the last week, the dieter needs to reaffirm your diet and stay true to your weight loss path. All through the dieting process it's advised that the dieter maintain a food journal to track her daily consumption. This allows her to record all of the things she has been eating, which is useful to know, as one can fall prey to mindless eat.

The pros of the Super Shred Diet:

1. It allows the dieter approximately six to seven meals each day, and thereby lessens the chance of turning into a serial eater.
2. It includes a structure which many dieters can find advantageous as well as makes room for a few swaps.
3. It teaches portion size eating.

The cons of the Super Shred Diet:
• It is time-consuming as it requires a lengthy period of time to plan a bespoke meal plan. Moreover, the time factor is particularly significant because it can be tough on dieters with a busy schedule.
• This is not an equal diet insofar as the calorie and protein levels recommended may not be the same for everyone - given one's individual metabolism and thereby making it vital to add additional protein to a dieter's meal plan.
