Editorial Review:
The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan addresses these problems with a targeted diet.
The Fat Flush Plan, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three.
The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price
Kiss cellulite goodbye!
The Fat Flush® Plan melts fat from hips, waist, and thighs in just two weeks and re-shapes your body while detoxifying your system. The Fat Flush Plan is a groundbreaking low carb/detox diet and fitness program. Fat Flush is known as the only diet program that gets rid of bloat, supports the liver, cleans up the lymph, and helps to eliminate the appearance of cellulite – for good. An international best-seller with legions of devoted followers, The Fat Flush Plan has been featured on "The View," as well as in cover articles in Time, Glamour, Self, and many others. It is based upon essential fats (such as flax seed oil and flax seeds), balanced proteins (including eggs, meat, fish, and moderate soy) plus low-glycemic healthy carbs from fat flushing fruits and vegetables. The Plan also features “cleansing” tonics such as unsweetened cranberry juice and water, the “Long Life Cocktail,” and daily hot water and lemon juice as well as a delicious array of fat burning, water regulating, and insulin controlling herbs and spices (think cayenne, mustard, cilantro, parsley, cinnamon, and cloves).

Rating:  - The Fat Flush Plan really works!
This book is very informative. I've learned so much about the foods that I've been eating and why I couldn't lose the weight or keep it off. I've lost 12 pounds so far and plan on losing the last 10 and keeping it off!
Rating:  - Save $100+ and your energy. Here's what helped me....
I hope someone reads this and gains from my experience........
I bought her book collection, chunky supplements and then went to Whole Foods for more of her required flax seed & unsweetened cranberry juice.... Wow. I should have known better beforehand, but I was desperate to make a life change and lose weight. For point of reference; I am a female, was 39 years old at the time, 5'6'' and 153 pounds.
If you buy the book and get on board with this nonsense, the first ... Read More
Rating: - Are you serious about your body?
The way Dr. Gittleman shares information about WHY the food choices, supplements, and meal combinations work so well is a must for anyone who loves their body and wants it to take them a long way down the road.
Yes, you can lose a great deal of excess pounds and unnecessary body fat, but knowing how the liver is so vital to these processes has opened my eyes to the reality of how much damage we do on a daily basis through our lack of awareness.
PLEASE make this a part of ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth Your While . . .
Quite simply, the best diet plan I have found. It gets four stars rather than five, because--quite frankly--diet books are not fascinating. But Gittelman's recommendations are sound, if a bit strict. Other books I have read on nutrition back her up. When I practice the FFP, I feel much healthier and sleep better. The weight loss is not as quick as I had hoped, but I always feel as if I am doing something good for my body. She has great suggestions, like using flaxseed oil and omega-3 enriched ... Read More
Rating:  - Expensive and difficult to follow, with marginal results.
My wife and I both carefully reviewed this book, and set out to follow it to the letter. That requires buying a lot of expensive ingredients and suppliments, but we figured it would be worth it. We were diligent about following all the instructions, which is not easy to do. You have to get used to a life with any salt or other seasonings, and you better enjoy the taste of flaxseed oil, because you're going to be eating a lot of it! For the first couple of days, we both lost weight - mainly because ... Read More
