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

Book Description

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).

5 out of 5 stars The Truth.......2007-06-13

This diet is really really great. I lost almost 20 lbs last summer in the course of about 2 months...15lbs in the first 2 weeks. But, once I went off the diet, and quit exercising as much, the weight crept back on. That is the only really sad part about this diet is that once you start eating bread and normal foods again, you gain the weight back. Also, from not drinking milk and then drinking it again, I would get the worst stomach aches. It's hard to go out to dinner and get something exciting to eat on this diet, but it realy is worth it to loose the weight. I am about to go back on it again for the second time, and I hope that it works. I tried during my school year (in college), but I was too stressed and too busy to keep up with the cooking and make things that weren't boring night after night, and fast. Now that I have time, it won't be a problem.

It's worth a shot. Atleast when you loose the weight, you can feel proud of yourself, and keep up the work to keep it off.

5 out of 5 stars Way of Life.......2007-05-16

I confess: I'm a Fat Flush addict. I read this book, took notes and started immediately. I lost 7 lbs the first day (water weight, but it counts), I continued losing: a total of 20 lbs and have maintained that weight loss for a year! I now know what I can eat and in what quantities. I now have the information I need to make good food choices. This eating plan has become a Way of Life, I highly recommend it. 10 stars!The Journal and Shopping guide is a great resource, also.

4 out of 5 stars Not For Working Women.......2007-04-20

I had been sucessfully eating right and exercising for about 3 months, and I was consistently losing 1/2 pound per week. But when my sister told me how she lost 12 pounds in two weeks on the Fat Flush I thought, I only have 10 pounds to lose, so what a great way to lose it quickly. I bought the book and read it through. ALG bases many of her food restrictions on single studies, and short studies at that. As a scientist I was very disappointed by her jumps to conclusions and willingness to accept any study that proved her already assumed result. There have been so many updates to this book, it's clear she got many things wrong. She has also changed her mind about some of the stuff in the book. I think she jumped to publish a little too quick. There are also some foods that are restricted on this diet just because ALG doesn't quite trust them, or she doesn't "feel" they are good. No study, no citations, just feelings.
Yet, I tried it anyway. I thought, it's only two weeks, I can make it through. I bought all the food and supplements, which added up to a lot of money. I followed the diet religiously, I have done juice fasts in the past, so it wasn't that hard. But let me tell you, it takes a lot of time to prepare all that food. I was constantly making my boyfriend and I late for work. I used a lot of the recipes in the book and from the cookbook. I prepared many things in advance, made double batches. I started eating raw veggies because it was easier, which made me constipated, bleh. The worst part of this whole plan was how I felt: tired, irritable, weak, and nauseus all my waking hours. I think the high amount of fat in the diet got to me. It took me 2 hours in the morning to get through all the morning food and prepare my food for the day. What ended this diet for me was when my boyfriend pointed out, "You know, with the amount of time you spend getting all that food ready, you could probably run for an hour, and lose the same weight, and you'de be much happier."
Just like all fad diets, there are good things, but they are lumped with a lot of stuff that may or may not work. Yes, you should drink 8 glasses of water a day, and cutting down on your salt, sugar, and refined carbs is a great idea. But any plan that reduces your calories to below 1000 is going to make you lose weight, but most of them won't make you sick.

I bought the Fat Flush CD. Ever since I hit 40 I have gained weight and had trouble losing it. I have tried many diets only to fail. This CD was so informative that I now understand so much about my body. You learn how your body works and what it needs to burn fat.
You will learn why we can't lose weight and why we can't lower our cholesterol. The information is invaluable. Get your liver and Lymph system in shape and you will lose weight and feel great. The first two weeks are tough, but as time goes buy you lose your cravings. I have been off wheat for over five weeks and I not only feel better, but my muscle pain is gone! and so is my underlying fatigue. It is the first time in years that I don't crave sugar or carbohydrates. I am actually excited to have my cholesterol checked!

Awsome plan!

lost 10 pounds in just two weeks, so now I am only 5 pounds away from my ideal weight, and I keep dropping down on the plan's "Phase 2". I had platoed with the Weight Watchers program. Last year it had worked for me, - though losing 15 pounds took me 4 months, and I was expecting the same results this year (I gained the weight back after not counting the points over the holidays, since I really didn't change my food choices significantly, just cut down on the amounts), but I simply couldn't get past yo-yoing up and down the same 1-3 pounds.
This book made it clear to me that I would not go anywhere with my addiction to granola bars, cereals and pastas. Since the plan cuts all of those out, I didn't think I would last on it for two weeks, but I did, and it seems so easy to continue after changing habits for just two weeks.
It works, and I find the recepies delicious and satisfying, - no more cravings!!!

    The Fat Flush Fitness Plan, written by a powerhouse team, offers Joanie Greggains' detailed exercise program, designed to complement Ann Louise Gittleman's The Fat Flush Plan. Gittleman is a high-profile nutritionist, frequently featured in the media. Veteran fitness expert Greggains, author of Fit Happens, hosted television's long-running "Morning Stretch" and leads 15 workout videos. Greggains emphasizes low-impact aerobics, weight training, stretching, more sleep, and calmer living. The eating program (you'll need Gittleman's other books for the details) hinges on Gittleman's premise that "cleansing the liver and the lymphatic system is absolutely crucial for physical health, weight loss, and an overall sense of well-being." This isn't a quick-fix program, but a long-term, lifestyle change including yoga, walking or rebounding, strength training with a weighted ball, stretching, lymphatic massage, and aromatherapy baths. Start with Phase 1: "Detox, Start Moving--and Relax"; add strength training in Phase 2: "Build Lean Muscle Mass"; increase cardio and change the strength routine in Phase 3: "Lymph-Fit/Compound Strength and Stretching Plan." All phases present a step-by-step, clearly illustrated exercise program. The book is nicely designed, with clear photographs, boxed tips, write-in questionnaires, pledges, and a sample journal. --Joan Price
