Dr. Ian I want to do your fat smash diet but I am allergic to fresh fruits and vegetables and I was wondering if I can eat the ones in the can, or what do you suggest that I do.

Hello, I am a 45 year african american woman who has struggled with my weight off and on for at least 24 years which was right after the birth of my youngest child. I am excited about this challenge so that I can help myself. I heard about the 50 million pound challege from television, I don't remember what channel all I know is that I need this. How do I start? I have lied to myself so long that I don't know how to begin. I went to Jamaica a few weeks ago and wanted to get in the water, when I saw myself in those pictures it was the first time I was able to say "you are overweight, you need to lose weight". I have always told myself that I was big boned and thick because of genetics. Well I know better than that. Thank you for this nation wide effort. This is one of the main things I put on my vision board for this year.

Thank you, Dr. Ian, for caring and inspiring us, African-Americans, as a whole.
I am feeling encouraged by your article. I am and was in need of a boost and a jump start to my weight loss goals.
