Dr. Smith’s belly fat cure

Drop 45 pounds in 30 days

Harvard-trained Ian K. Smith, M.D., has discovered that combining the slimming effects of clean eating with the fast results of intermittent fasting turbocharges metabolism. Women are losing nearly 2 pounds a day!

Beverly Simon was shocked and thrilled. After months of steadily losing weight following the diet advice of weight-loss expert Ian K. Smith, M.D., the 60-year-old retired engineer had hit a plateau. But then—as if by magic!—she dropped 15 pounds in just three weeks. And that wasn’t all: Her energy soared, her sleep improved, her blood pressure evened out and her painful body-wide arthritis subsided. “My doctor was amazed,” says Beverly, who credits her 100-pound weight loss with helping her avoid knee replacement surgery. The only change she made to Dr. Smith’s clean-eating plan? Introducing intermittent fasting. She couldn’t believe how easy it was, and she wanted to tell others about her success, so Beverly sent a Facebook message to Dr. Smith, who also hosts the syndicated radio show HealthWatch. “I know Dr. Smith’s passion for helping people,” Beverly says. “I thought, If anybody can get the word out there, it will be him.”

Dr. Smith wasn’t a fan of intermittent fasting—he had heard from too many women who struggled to get positive results. But he says that Beverly’s success

led him to take another look at the research on intermittent fasting. What he found surprised him: Women struggle not because the popular strategy is too hard or doesn’t work but because many intermittent fasting plans overstate what— and how much—women can eat while following the plan. Dr. Smith explains, “While intermittent fasting allows you to have more calories than normal, it does not allow unlimited calories—and that’s a major misconception that prevents weight loss for many women.”

So why did Beverly experience such a dramatic change? Following a clean eating program (cutting out processed foods) eliminates the synthetic ingredients, refined carbohydrates and toxic compounds that hamper the body’s detoxification abilities, notes Dr. Smith. Replacing them with whole, unprocessed foods provides all of the vitamins and phytonutrients the body needs to improve detoxification and optimize its slimming systems. And restricting meals to just 10 hours daily challenges the metabolism, keeping it revved up. “When you take one program that’s very powerful, like intermittent fasting, and combine it with another program that’s very powerful, like clean eating, you’re attacking weight loss from different angles—and in this case, the benefits are cumulative,” he says. It’s like having two weapons instead of one in the war against fat. Those weapons became the foundation for his new book, Clean & Lean.

Dr. Smith put his plan to the test—and the results were astounding. More than 1,000 people tried the formula and reported benefits including weight loss, lower cholesterol, more energy and improved moods. And science backs up their success: Research published in The Journal of the American Medical Association by scientists at Stanford University revealed that subjects who ate plenty of the whole foods featured in Dr. Smith’s plan lost 266% more weight than those who focused on counting calories or limiting portion sizes. And researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that overweight women who practiced intermittent fasting lost 50% more fat than those on a traditional calorie-restricted diet. And unlike dieters who count calories, women who follow Dr. Smith’s plan report feeling full and satisfied as they lose. “Anybody can do it,” cheers Beverly, whose 27-year-old daughter, Nicole, lost nearly 50 pounds following this approach. “It’s so worth it. There are so many benefits. Not only did it give me the weight loss

I was hoping for, it also gave me health benefits.”

The fat will keep falling off your frame even after the 30-day plan is over. “Once the body has freed itself from the toxic by-products of processed foods and chemical-laden drinks, everything—from your digestion to your metabolism—will function better,” asserts Dr. Smith.
