Rating:  - Not to use as a shopping list/guide, but excellent Journal.
I haven't started the FFP yet but i ordered the complete plan package and I've had a chance to thumb through all three books including this Journal and so called Shopping guide. If you're planning on buying this book primarily for the Shopping guide to make grocery shopping list etc. Do not buy it. But for just a journal to keep track of eating habits, (Whether you write them down before you eat or after, I'm doing before because it gives me a plan to go by) to keep track of daily exercising, reflections, Sleep time ,etc. For that , it is a perfect Journal, but not at all much of a shopping guide. Like a previous reviewer stated, there are simply bulleted lists of foods used in each phase of the plan, grouped by category (vegetables, proteins, etc.), and this only takes up about 12 pages in the back of the book, the rest are journal pages to last you 6 weeks. But overall I still give this only a 3 because it is perfect Journal wise and even has motivational quotes and reminders for every day of the 6 weeks it provides you a Journal for. BUT it would be much more helpful and less time consuming if they provided a vivid shopping list for every 2 weeks of the plan or so, or at least blank lined pages where you could make your own to tear out.
Rating:  - A Handy Tool
This is a journal in which you write your thoughts for the day; what you ate; what exercises you did, etc. From the beginning, I wasn't interested in the shopping guide. To me, that isn't the important part of the book. I've been using this journal since January 2007. I get about 6 weeks in one book. I'm on my fourth. I find this to be a healthy tool. Every day I record what I have eaten; my exercise routine; any problems with my health; my thoughts on how I did for the day. I end my journaling on a positive note. I always find something good that I did for the day, even if I totally screwed up. There is always something positive that you can find. The journal helps me to focus on those positives. Each day starts with a positive quote from a well-known person for motivation. Then there's a weekly journal page for you to record your measurements and your thoughts on how you did for the week. Helps you to plan goals and rewards. The price for this book is really low. I've taken a look at a couple of other journals (Stong Women has one), and they are around $15. So, this is a bargain. I give it four stars because I didn't need the shopping guide, and would have liked to have used them for journal pages instead. I would recommed purchasing this book to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Rating:  - The Fat Flush Journal and Shopping Guide
Nothing great about this book. Follows the same patterns as many others I have read. Simple common sence guidelines but nothing amazing or new to the readers.
Rating: - mostly blank pages
Be aware that "journal" means lots of blank pages. Not much of a bargain for all that space. Could just as well have been a pamphlet!
Rating:  - Journal part OK, Shopping Guide is a joke
The journal content is good, but the book is a typically-bound softcover which does not lend well to journaling (spiral-bound books which lay open flat or fold back are much better). The biggest disappointment was the Shopping Guide section which, according to the front of the book, "features shopping lists for fat-flushing foods". They are merely bulleted lists of foods used in each phase of the plan, grouped by category (vegetables, proteins, etc.) It would have been more helpful to have actual shopping lists by week, based on the plan menus.
