The Shred diet is a weight loss program that encompasses a 6-week
period. The components of the eating plan include a low glycemic index
(GI) diet, spacing meals out, and using smoothies, soups, and drinks,
such as shakes, to replace meals. On this diet a person eats 4 meals and
3 snacks each day, eating about every 3-4 hours. It is important to vary
your food choices so your body does not get used to the same foods over
and over. By keeping a journal of what you eat each day you can keep
track of your intake and better stay on track with a wide variety of
foods.
