I haven't tried the 4 day - I've been doing the traditional diet and following it strictly. When I am tempted, I come and look at my results so far, re-focus on my goal and buckle down. You know your body and what makes you weak... maybe the 4 day will be better for you! Good luck... just don't give up. 

Thank You. I figure I am going to stick to the regular fat smash as long as I can and then if I feel the urge to cheat, I may follow the 4 Day diet since it gives variety every couple of days. I did get the book today (not sure if I'll follow it or not but I love reading it anyway). The only downfall is that you cannot eat oatmeal even in the beginning of the detox. I love oatmeal and don't care for eggs, especially egg whites. In fact, I was going to post a recipe request for a good egg white recipe for phase 1. I'm staying strong even though my kids had yummy mac & cheese and I'm making beans & rice with spices :) Actually I love i so I'm not complaining. 

I take my egg whites and put in a microwave safe dish. I then add my stir fry veggies and cook together in microwave. I enjoy eating it. Another thing you can do if you don't like the egg whites, cook with your brown rice and beans, like a stir fry. That is another option. Someone else posted they took their egg whites and deviled them but put hummus as the centers instead of the traditional deviled egg mix.
