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 program that uses all he knows about strategic dieting in one plan. Shred combines a low GI diet, meal spacing, and meal replacements. Shredders will eat constantly (every three and a half hours!): four meals or meal replacements (soups, smoothies, shakes) and three snacks a day, over a six week program. Shred also introduces Dr. Ian's concept of "Diet Confusion". Like varying workouts to achieve muscle confusion and greater results, Diet Confusion tricks the body and revs up its performance by switching up food intake to boost metabolism. Shred has been a New York Times bestseller for twenty-seven weeks, six of them at No. 1, with a renewed burst of sales after Dr. Ian's and Shred's appearance on Katie Couric and in People. Thousands have joined Dr. Ian's Shredder Nation, losing an average of four inches, two sizes or twenty pounds in six weeks.

Super Shred is a more intense, concentrated, shorter program that shares the system and principles of the No. 1 bestseller Shred. At four weeks, it's about half the length of Shred and twice the intensity. There's always a customer looking for a diet who not only wants but must have faster, more dramatic results right away. All the same building blocks that have made Shred work for dieters are here: "diet confusion", meal replacement, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day to keep metabolism stoked and to keep dieters from feeling hungry or deprived. SuperShred is "destination dieting" at its best, a plan specifically designed for the impatient or the short-term goaloriented who may need to get as lean as possible as fast as possible for a date, an event, or a spring vacation. It's also for those who have had success on Shred (or any other diet) but who need a quick refresher weight loss course, or to go faster, for a four week cycle. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with Shred. Dr. Ian's Shred absolutes: SuperShred features regular grocery store food, definite marching orders, and an author who connects to his fans via national mainstream media, social media, his Shredder Nation diet cells across the country.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith, a powerful six-week plan to burn fat more efficiently by improving metabolic flexibility.The human body has the amazing ability to switch which fuels it uses for energy based on what fuel is available at the time—researchers call this metabolic flexibility. Bodies that are able to make this switch can burn sugars, proteins, and other food nutrients when available, and then switch to burning the body’s fat storage or fatty acids when food calories are not available. It turns out that losing weight is not just about burning calories, it’s also about switching between these pathways as efficiently as possible. Yet little has been written about how to achieve metabolic flexibility—until now.Dr. Ian K. Smith is a renowned medical expert and the author of numerous bestselling health books. In The Met Flex Diet, he offers a one-of-a-kind plan to improve metabolic flexibility through changing the types and quantities of food/beverages consumed, as well as the type of exercise. Timing is also a factor—timing of meals and timing of exercise relative to when the meals are consumed. All of these variables will play an important role in helping the body make the important switch from one fuel source to another.In just six weeks, readers can experience amazing fat-burning results by following simple guidelines, like: Eat the first meal of the day three hours after waking. Complete a fasted cardio workout within the first two hours of waking. Get at least seven hours of sleep a night. Finish dinner two hours before going to sleep. Complete with meal and exercise plans, as well as recipes, The Met Flex Diet gives readers every tool they need to meet their weight loss goals.
