Product Description
The Fat Flush Diet's unique, ground-breaking program targets cleansing the liver -- the largest, most versatile organ in the body -- and the one most essential to maintaining optimal body weight. Based on a satisfying, healthful, and cleansing combination of essential fats, balanced proteins, and quality carbohydrates, this detoxifying process boosts the liver's ability to function at its highest level, accelerating weight loss while improving your health. Usage: by Ann Louise Gittleman, Barry Sears (Introduction) (Hardcover) Ingredients: Book
Amazon.com 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

 Improve Your Health March 20, 2010
MBO (USA)
If you're ready to improve your health while shedding excess weight, then this plan is for you. Yes, the Fat Flush Plan is aimed at flushing away those extra pounds, but it does so much more as well. How about improved energy? More beautiful skin and hair? Reduced cellulite? Reduced blood pressure? Lowered cholesterol? All these benefits have been enjoyed by myself and my Fat Flushing friends. Based on her reseach and her clinical experience, Dr. Gittleman has created a plan that augments our lives while rebuilding our health.
The Fat Flush Plan consists of 3 phases - the detox phase, the weight loss phase, and the lifestyle phase. Each phase builds on the one before to remove toxins stored in the tissue, heal the depleted liver, provide essential nutrients, including healthy fats, and create a lifetime of healthy eating habits.
The Fat Flush is NOT a mere diet, but rather a time tested way of life. The Fat Flush Plan has provided the foundation of my health for more than four years and has truely been a life changing gift to my family and myself.
Classic Fat Flush March 19, 2010
Elizabeth Krichman (Hayden, Idaho)
The Fat Flush Plan remains my favorite way to stay healthy and maintain my weight. I have so much energy and feel so good eating this way. This book is my bible and I recommend it to all my nutrition clients.
 Not a fat fix for me March 7, 2010
Seastur Shopper (San Diego, Ca)
Well, in all the attempts to lose weight this isn't the plan. There is no way anyone with a "normal" brain could keep up with this diet. It probably works if you do it her way but just giving up the coffee I never made it past that.

Haven't really read the whole book but I did see some pointers which make me want to keep it and read more.
Changed the way I think about food January 25, 2010
healthy again (Massachusetts)
This diet is amazing. I shouldn't even call it a "diet" because its really a way of life...the way we should all live. the first two weeks are hard, but you will reap the benefits. I have tweaked the plan to fit my life and I still continue to lose weight. My energy is back (and it was sooooo far gone that I even went to my doctor about it), I no longer feel bloated, no longer hungry, and I no longer have cravings for processed foods. I actually now crave foods that are healthy! AMAZING. This book has changed my life. I've moved on to reading other books on the subject matter and I am looking forward to a long, healthy life :)
