SUPER SHRED
I have been in a plateau for far too long and it started to become so frustrating!
Realizing that ultimately, no one was going to help me reach my goal, but ME! I needed a change. No more excuses! If I want to feel better, look better, train smarter…the list goes on, I have to keep trying. It’s not about being “skinny”, I want to be healthy and fit! *Fit Check* Let me be real—I know I haven’t put in the work to REALLY get the results that I want. I’m tired of making excuses. I am no longer on vacation, I am no longer dealing with winter blues, and I have nothing holding me back. As of today…
Good-bye plateau
It’s official! I kicked off the SUPER SHRED Diet
The previous plan that I discussed here worked for me in the past, but I decided it wasn’t the best for me right now. I also like knowing how many calories I take in daily (vs. counting points).
THIS PLAN IS NOT FOR THE LONG HAUL
SUPER SHRED
What is SUPER SHRED?
SUPER SHRED is a four-week super-charged program that shares the same principles—meal spacing, snacking, meal replacement, and diet confusion—as SHRED—with twice the intensity and a shorter quick-acting plan. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with SHRED
I was a little hesitant about sharing my Shred Life Journey because of doubt. I kept thinking, what if I fail? I had to stop entertaining the negative thoughts IMMEDIATELY and remind myself that this journey is not just about me. There are countless others on the journey to better health. I like when people are real about their journey because I think more people can relate. Ain’t nobody perfect! I want the struggles, highs, lows, and successes…so why not share mine? Besides, failure is not an option!
Week 1, Day 1 – I’m so not a morning person, but I got my bum up and worked out for 60 minutes (Arc Trainer, Stairmill, and bicycle — daily workouts are described in the SUPER SHRED book for each day). I had to rock my “Strong is the New Skinny” Bondi Band for my first workout!
I have my journal to keep track of everything from exercise, food, moods, whatever! I’ll be posting my Super Shred check-ins over the next four weeks, so stay tuned and make sure you follow me on Instagram. After Super Shred, I will start the Shred Diet. I’m ready for a new start and I’m excited to be a part of the Shredder Nation!!!

Thank you, Bobbie! You should totally do it!!! I love it so far. It’s worth it…especially since it’s only 4 weeks! Let’s do this!!!
Sounds so awesome! Can’t wait to follow along! I finally broke through my weight plateau by doing running intervals (cardio 1hr to 1.5hr for 5-6 days) and strength training twice a week! Can’t wait to get your review on this tho!
That’s awesome, Natasha! Now, you have me motivated. That’s exactly what I’m about to start doing! I’m so ready to get out of this plateau.
First, LOVE that headband! Second, can’t wait to see how you like the entire program. I don’t need to lose any right now but I absolutely need to get serious about exercise and toning!
Thank you, Madaline! Yes, the program actually teaches a lot of other things that will be beneficial for anyone dieting or not. So…we shall see! :)
I wonder if they have this on Kindle. Definitely want to check it out!
Yes, they absolutely do! I have the Kindle version and book. Long story. lol But I’m glad it on Kindle because I can go on the web and highlight my meals for the next day! Really great future!
I will have to follow your progress. I am not a diet fan but I like Dr. Ian and am intrigued. Best wishes.
The good thing is this “diet” teaches tools to carry out for the rest of our lives. I’m hoping with these tricks, I’ll come right out of my plateau. I’ll keep the updates coming! Thank you!
Good luck! I hope you enjoy it and see great results!
Thanks, Nicole! So far, so good!
