Shred: The Revolutionary Diet: 6 Weeks 4 Inches 2 Sizes
About this product
Dr. Ian K. Smith's Shred is the answer to every dieter's biggest dilemmas: how to lose that last twenty pounds? How to push through that frustrating plateau? What to do when nothing else is working? Here, Smith has created a weight loss program that uses all he knows about strategic dieting in one plan--like putting all the best players on the field at once to create a can't lose combination. Shred combines a low GI diet, meal spacing, and meal replacements. Those who follow Shred will constantly be eating (every three and a half hours!), four meals or meal replacements (soups, smoothies, shakes) and 3 snacks a day, over a six week program. Shred also introduces Dr. Ian's concept of "Diet Confusion". Diet Confusion, like muscle confusion, tricks the body and revs up its performance. In the same way you need to vary your workout to see results, switch up your food intake to boost your metabolism.
No matter how often or how unsuccessfully you've dieted before, Shred: The Revolutionary Diet will change your life. Shred has taken the internet by storm, and thousands have already joined Dr. Ian's Shredder Nation, losing an average of four inches, two sizes or twenty pounds in six weeks. Utilizing the detox from Fat Smash Diet, the intense cleanse of Extreme Fat Smash, and varying food of The 4 Day Diet, Shred is a six week plan to a new way of life! Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say the book offers a practical, easy-to-follow framework for eating and exercise, with many readers reporting weight loss and better portion control. Some reviewers also praise the meal timing, flexibility, and simple recipes, while others are mixed on value and say the content feels repetitive or not especially satisfying.
Goodreads readers describe similar mixed experiences, with several reporting noticeable inches or pounds lost after following the plan and others treating it more as motivation than a strict diet guide. A review blog describes it as a reasonably structured approach for people interested in cycling and small changes, and an independent science-focused review says it is a fairly straightforward calorie-controlled plan rather than anything extreme.
On eBay, sellers and buyers appear positive overall, with product ratings leaning strongly favorable and comments highlighting the book’s usefulness and compelling content. YouTube results show at least one actual video about the book that presents it as a six-week weight-loss program and discusses the core claims of the diet.
