The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her IFat Flush Plan/I addresses these problems with a targeted diet.p IThe Fat Flush Plan/I, 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.p The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sauteed Scallops. IThe Fat Flush Plan/I is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. I--Joan Price/I

 My own success story with this diet December 22, 2008
Karen Mulvey (Tampa, Fla USA)
My weight issues started back in 2004, it's crazy what stress and a poor diet will do to a person! My friend has similar weight issues but she took initiative to do something about it. She came across this diet that was recommended by a health conscious internet community. After seeing the results she got, it was hard to not feel jealous! Unfortunately for me, the jealousy was not motivation enough to get me started on a diet --I loved eating out too much. On top of that, I kept giving myself an excuse of saying, "I'll start this diet tomorrow." The sad reality is that tomorrow never comes, and if you're going to make changes you better start them NOW! I had purchased this book in conjunction with the Fat Flush cook book back in early '07, but never put the diet into practice until nearly a year later. Nothing kills your self-esteem more than looking down at your belly and seeing it hang over your pants, not cute at all! After allowing some harsh reality set in and seeing my hideous fat body in the mirror, I had enough! br / br /I didn't follow the diet to an exact tee, but I understood the gist of it and the importance of staying away from certain foods and overall just eating healthier. After following this diet for almost 9 months, my results have been dropping down from a tight fitting size 14 (in women) to a loose fitting size 8. My goal is to at least drop down another size and to have the flat stomach that I've always desired! I know everyone's situation is different, but this is a personal testimonial that this diet DOES WORK. You'll have to make a lot of sacrifices in the taste department, but it will be worth it in the long run. In all honesty, there's nothing more gratifying than walking in a room full of your family members and them not even recognizing you! br / br /If you want this to be you, then quit telling yourself you'll make a change tomorrow.

Thoroughly researched September 29, 2008
Susan Schenck (San Diego, CA)
Gittleman has done the world a huge favor by stressing the importance of detoxification in order not only to lose weight, but also to have health in general. This is something raw foodists have known for a century. Unfortunately, she doesn't go into cooked food as a source of additional toxins. Nonetheless she has done her homework in finding all kinds of tips for detox, such as herbs and lemon juice. br /I got lots of weight loss nuggets from this book, and various insights that helped me shed 20 pounds. (This is one of a dozen or so books I used for research.) I was astounded to discover that flaxseeds can be toxic if you eat over 4 T a day (not true for flax oils)! That information alone was worth the price of the book! That pearl of advice alone has changed some of my food staples. br / br /

This book is not enough at all. May be because while i am desperate to lose as much weight as possible, I knew more even than what is in the book. But, I believe it contains valuable info.
